Kasting Cuzzins | Reformed White Rappers Reflecting On Their Sins
The KC crew is BACK. After lying dormant for seven lunar cycles, Alex and Chris have emerged with a renewed sense of purpose… AND a brand-new single. In their triumphant return, the Cuzzins talk about their just-released 2024 track - their first collab in 11 years - “Treat Yourself.” They discuss the impetus for the song, why they felt compelled to rap once again, and - along the way - weigh in on the Kendrick/Drake/Cole beef.

Ep.63: The Thinking Man's Weed Rap ("Puft Up")
Kasting Cuzzins | Reformed White Rappers Reflecting On Their Sins
This is it, folks. In the action-packed SEASON FINALE of the Kast, we are discussing the very last song on KC's final album. It's a track called "Puft Up," and in addition to some wild and drugged-out rhymes, it features none other than DJ Ray on the cuts. Join us as we reflect on what (SPOILER ALERT) may be our most successful all-around track. We'll also talk about how rapping is like caulking a bathtub... the time Proxy went to an acoustic Everclear concert and was very disappointed... and much more. One last time... join us?

Ep.62: Sponsored by Barbie - In Theaters Now! ("Sociopathy" feat. Vov Abraxas)
Kasting Cuzzins | Reformed White Rappers Reflecting On Their Sins
Margot Robie! Ryan Gosling! Simu Liu! We hear they're ALL in that new Barbie movie. (We don't know for sure, we haven't seen it.) Our understanding is that if we mention them throughout the Kast, we'll get a big check sent our way. So... here's hoping. Ahem. Also in today's episode: We discuss the serial killer-themed song "Sociopathy" from our sophomore album, W.E.B.A.C.K. It's a weird little ditty that features guest vocals from our good friend Vov Abraxas. We'll get into the music, lyrics and more. Plus: Dead pets and what's happening on Sesame Street these days (it isn't good). Join us?...

Kasting Cuzzins | Reformed White Rappers Reflecting On Their Sins
Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if two guys who've never been in a fight wrote a song about fighting? Well, prepare to have your curiosity satisfied... sort of. In this week's episode of the Kast, Alex and Chris discuss yet another of their novely rap songs. Is it more successful than the time they rapped about stealing from a museum? You be the judge. (But the answer's no.) Join us? Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin Follow Chris on TikTok: @wontkeefdoit

Kasting Cuzzins | Reformed White Rappers Reflecting On Their Sins
Get these fellas to the casino! In this super-sized episode of the Kast, Proxy and Keef welcome yet another Chris to the show to discuss “Brilliant Banter,” a pass-the-mic that manages to reference everything from Bob Probert to Octoroks. Along the way, we talk Rain Man, Raine Maida and whether Frankenstein’s monster *really* sang “Puttin’ On the Ritz” at the end of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel. Join us?

Ep.58: Weezer Collab or Wooden Horse? Discuss... ("Say What")
Kasting Cuzzins | Reformed White Rappers Reflecting On Their Sins
You can say a lot of things about Keef, but he is a man of principle. And in today's episode of the Kast, he is once again confronted with an age-old quandry involving Weezer's lead singer and an unlucky equine, uh... companion. Along the way, we discuss the 10th track on our sophomore LP, W.E.B.A.C.K. ("Say What"), as well as what it was like to work at K-Mart and the prolifery of Lil Wayne. Join us?

Kasting Cuzzins | Reformed White Rappers Reflecting On Their Sins
Let us remind you up front, again, that this is a RAP podcast. Got it? Good. Okay. So, in this week's episode, we talk about the 2003 Thomas Jane vehicle Dream Catcher... that time Mark Wahlberg said he would've prevented 9/11... and whether Big Pun really needed all those rulers. Oh, and we also discuss some terrible rap we made (which is, once more, the usual foocus of this podcast). Join us?

Ep.56: Feel a Little Woke Coming Through ("An Open Letter")
Kasting Cuzzins | Reformed White Rappers Reflecting On Their Sins
Oh god, not this again... Once more, the boys are reviewing one of their attampts at conscious - i.e. "woke" - rap, a track titled "An Open Letter." But... an open letter to who? That's the question at the heart of this week's episode. And, furthermore, what does Beetlejuice have to do with it?? We dig into it all (and more). Join us?

Ep.55: Uncle Flowetry ("Either/Or")
Kasting Cuzzins | Reformed White Rappers Reflecting On Their Sins
The Kast is BACK AGAIN with more of the hard-hitting musical analysis you crave. This week we're digging into some odd spoken word poetry about dead birds and hot kisses - a track called "Either/Or" from our sophomore album as white rap duo, W.E.B.A.C.K. We do our best to determine what it all means... and along the way get into spirited discussions about Bill Haley, Sage Francis, Heidi Gardner and more. (What can we say? We're just SO #random!)

info_outlineThe yule log is still burning as we dive into the second half of our big holiday two-parter. This time we're taking a look at some novelty Christmas rap that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
We also rip apart the beloved (WHY??) "classic," A Christmas Story - aka boomer xmas porn - as well as Elf because why not? But rest assured, we're not just cosplaying Statler and Waldorf over here... we have some highly constructive suggestions to make these films better. You're welcome, Hollywood!
You'll find all that and more in today's ep. Join us?
