Slipknot’s Sid Wilson Launches ‘Vomit Face’ Record Label: ‘Real Art Isn’t Pretty’

Slipknot‘s Sid Wilson has launched his new record label, Vomit Face, and said that among his first batch of signees would be late Brooklyn rap icon Bushwick Bill‘s son.

Wilson made the announcement on Tuesday (Oct. 21), saying Vomit Face lives to serve the music industry’s “rebels.” He also confirmed that Lil Bushwick, the son of Bushwick Bill, would release his debut album on the label later this month. Vomit Face’s roster additionally includes the artists J57, DEAD X HEDZ, Rome Fortune, Ricardo Grimm and Mars Black.

“Vomit Face Records is about tearing down the walls,” Wilson said in a statement. “This is for the artists who don’t fit in and never wanted to. It’s rebels in motion that unapologetically stand out. It’s to celebrate imperfection, people making real art out of the mess in a world that rewards fake. It’s where the sound, hard work, and spirit collide, and no one can tell you how to look or feel.”

He continued, “Real art isn’t pretty; it should stir something slightly uncomfortable and break down those walls to create something new inside of you. It’s a place for the misfits to have a voice and a place to make their own.”

Lil Bushwick’s self-titled album drops on Oct. 31 and will be narrated by Bushwick Bill, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2019.

“Being able to collaborate with my pops six years after his passing brings me a different type of joy,” Lil Bushwick added in his own statement. “Hearing his voice again, speaking life and expressing himself just as I remembered, takes me back to the simpler times. I know he’d be proud of how I approached each verse my own way. He was always big on being yourself, and I’ll forever be that. Long live Chuckwick 4L.”
