Josh Martinez is back from a long, strange trip with Blotto, his full-length follow up to the underground classic World Famous Sex Buffet. In typical Martinez fashion the album is everything you love and but could never expect.
Blotto picks up right where any good Sex Buffet would end up: overstimulated, lonely and unsatisfied. Blotto is the heartbreak that leads you through years on a blackout bender. Its the journey through the fire, the ashes and ghosts of the dream.
The only cure for this bitter hurt is to get as far away as possible from everything you know. Martinez left his home in Canada, on a quest for opportunity, a clean slate and the pursuit of the American Dream. He landed in the endless gray of the Pacific Northwest, starting over with nothing but a penchant for self-destruction and a handful of friends and enemies.
A workaholic in pain, he threw himself fully into the grind. Endless tour schedules on his own and with The Chicharones. Months packed away in studio sessions, multiple album campaigns, building and managing the roster of Camobear Records, navigating deals, broken promises and pivotal relationships lost in the wake. Blotto.
The Josh Martinez you know is a memory, a polaroid in some faded family album. He’s lost his appetite for the buffet, jaded on midriffs and princesses. The man has journeyed through his own deep abyss and returned with vengeful fervor. He’s back to let you know about the journey, the madness, and the sense of humor he found in the deep pit of his own redemption.
Co-produced by legendary director and producer, Stuey Kubrick, and songwriting savant, Sapient, Blotto features guest appearances from Ceschi, Stevie Ross, Sapient and Evil Ebenezer.

If you don’t know much about what is zee ZZBRA; here’s a little insight into the disaster of a success that is the Z.
The Legend Of Zzbra: Rap legends Moka Only and Evil Ebenezer began their careers as triple threats on the silver screen: singing, dancing and acting their way into the hearts of North American audiences. Their tour de force performance was to beZZBRA, Stuey Kubrick’s 1997 jungle masterpiece. From day one, there were problems on the set. Rumours say that Kubrick went millions of dollars over budget searching for the perfect elephant to play the boys whacky sidekick Cervantes. Which was just the beginning of the catastrophe that was ZZBRA. There were rumours that Kubrick dosed the crew with acid, gave direction only in Esperanto and towards the end of the production served the crew a strict diet of raisins. After four years in production, the studio demanded Kubrick hand over the footage to re-cut the film as Jumanji 2: The Musical. Kubrick burned the film swearing they would never “Jumanji” him. The only remnant of Kubrick’s masterpiece is the soundtrack made by Evil and Moka Only.
