Listen to BIM THOMAS Rap on Obnox- “Cash Weed Green”

Well, as punk as all the rappers are trying to get they will never be Lamont “Bim” Thomas. Bim played in the Bassholes, and This Moment in Black History. He currently does a lot in Obnox & plays drums for the Unholy Two.. For those that don’t know. These are all hella crucial Ohio garage and scuzz punk bands.

Well, on the above Obnox song, Bim RAPS about how he has been the man forever. My mind is kinda blown. He isn’t the dopest emcee but the backing music is good and you can’t argue with what he is saying. Everyone give Bim some money when you run into him please.
