Mr. Dibbs has become one of the most respected and innovative turntablist/dj style producers in the
game. Last year Mr. Dibbs died for approximately 53 seconds, one short month after the quiet release of
Deadworld.
Held up in the hospital for a few weeks, Dibbs was an inadvertent resident of an impromptu hip hop
retirement home. Battling leukemia on the floor above him was his longtime friend Marcus “Skandal da
Ruckus Man” Mitchell. An epic MC and producer, of equally epic bodily proportions, Skandal’s heart
was big, but his production skills and lyrical largesse were even bigger.
Mr. Dibbs was found... in the strong lifeline we’ve all come to know and love as Skandal. Skandal lost
his life in October last year, but even thru his passing he made Dibbs feel important enough to be reborn.
‘Deadword Reborn’ was digitally released last november with all procceds going to Skandal’s daughter.
Now for the first time ever ‘Deadworld Reborn’ is available in physical form as a 12” picture disc vinyl.
Limited to 1,000 hand numbered pieces and featuring a long list of artists and producers including
Brother Ali, The Black Keys, Grayskul, Murs, JEL, Skandal Da Ruckus Man himself, along with
many more.
“What I could not see at the time was being reborn into the world of the living through someone else’s
full-circle leaving.” -Dibbs
