Cubbiebear and Seez Mics have never been what anyone would consider social butterflies, so "All Friended Up" is as much fun as two curmudgeonly isolationists could possibly have.
As the song title suggests, their friends list is full and all were invited to lend a face to the music video. The video's concept is simple: everyone did their best impression of rapping Cubbiebear's verse, all the while knowing that he's laughing hysterically as we fail miserably.
The Friends:
Seez Mics
Sage Francis
Sara P.
DJ Steve Bills
Ardamus
Rick and Sarah of Awesome Talk
Seannie Cameras
K-Cromozone
Drewsif
DJ V-Roc
Maggie R.
Tank and Olive

“Even In Death” is a collaborative project from veteran Strange Famous Records emcee Seez Mics and the late Cubbiebear (AKA Joshua Bailey), a talented and true Strange Famous homie who left this world far too soon in 2017. SFR is proud to help bring more of Josh’s work into the world. We encourage you to seek out and enjoy his entire catalog. May he never be forgotten.
This isn’t a conventional album release, and as such, we aren’t offering a conventional write-up to accompany it. Instead of trying to describe what you’ll hear if you check out “Even In Death,” we’d rather let Seez tell you about his longtime friend. We’ll begin with the final paragraph from his longer story (available to read in full at ):
“Our friend DJ cam-one eventually got Josh’s computer from his brother Bill, and began the seemingly impossible task of accessing and making sense of the files for the songs we’d been working on. Because he is a technical god, Cam was able to work his magic and get everything in shape. I redid some vocals, Teddy Faley jumped on “What Could I Do,” Max Bent added his unique flavor to “Random Drug Test,” DJ Addikt laced “Meat Eating Media with cuts, and Alxndrbrwn brought the entire thing over the finish line by mixing and mastering an album I titled “Even In Death.” I chose the title based on how I felt on the night of Josh’s passing: even in death, he selflessly gave people comfort, even if it came at his own expense.
I am proud to share my story about my friendship with Josh, AKA Cubbiebear. I am even prouder to share our album “Even In Death,” especially because it’s being released by Strange Famous Records. But above all, I’m proud to be the kind of person that Josh wanted as a friend to his dying day.”
We strongly encourage you to read the rest of Seez’s story. We strongly encourage you to listen to “Even In Death.” And we strongly encourage you not to take a single minute that you have in this world for granted.
