Fubar is an underground hip-hop artist and lyricist who began writing in 1997. Since then, he has built an extensive catalog of solo albums, collaborative projects, group releases and guest appearances while remaining firmly rooted in independent underground hip-hop.
His work turns personal damage, skepticism, dark humor and battle rap aggression into controlled language. The voice can be confrontational, absurd, wounded or hostile, but beneath the threat is usually a human problem being forced into form.
His writing moves freely between personal introspection, dark humor, social criticism, religious doubt, skepticism, class, mortality and the more uncomfortable sides of human behavior. Some records are deeply personal, others conceptual or confrontational, and some are built entirely around battle rap, technical aggression, absurd threats, punchlines and dark comedy. Earlier material was often driven by anger, depression, instinct and whatever demanded to be written in the moment. Over time, the work has become more concept-driven, but the core impulse remains the same: turning pressure into language.
Collaboration has been a major part of Fubar's catalog. In addition to his solo work, he is a member of Shark Brothers and Wise Guise and has worked extensively with emcees and producers throughout the underground. Those collaborations range from full-length projects and group albums to one-off songs, compilations and guest appearances.
