Happy New Year! Ring it in with....Christmas? Why not! INUbis decided to reanimate the Nightmare Critters' verse from "Catnap Claus" with most of them being awake to get their gifts, and some super wacky cartoon hijinks ensue. Check it out!

2025 is almost over! As is tradition, tomorrow (New Year's Eve) We'll be launching a countdown stream at 7PM EST where we talk about all the videos that dropped on the RecD channel this year, along with production, behind the scenes, etc - if you're interested in how RecD Music Videos come together, or if you just want to join us to count down the clock to 2026, I'm looking forward to seeing you there! Thank you for all the support in 2025, and here's to 2026 being even better! IMHO, it 100% will be since Indigo Park Chapter 2 and many other fun things finally get to happen then ;)

SURPRISE! I'll be at @MAGFest along with several members of the RecD crew (Corey Beepington, Cyan, Fossil, Chili & JOnline) - and we're doing a PANEL on how to make a Nerdcore Music Video that tells a story! We'll be going thru the entire process of how RecD videos get made from beginning to end, and how the deeper stories you've come to expect from this channel factor into that production - including some of our big hits like Take A Rest, Rambley Review and FNF Musical! Be sure to stop by if you can, it's gonna be a blast!

(MAGFest plans to record and upload all panels to their channel now, so y'all at home will be able to take a peek behind the scenes, too!)

At 11AM EST today, Gourmet Race (Air Riders) WITH LYRICS, my first WITH LYRICS video AND Kirby Vs. Dedede video since 2023, will release on the channel! In this goofy track, King Dedede gets a rematch against Kirby in the Gourmet Race...but it's way harder to eat food on an air ride! Be sure to keep an eye on your notifications so you don't miss it, and let me know if you want more Dedede & WITH LYRICS in the future!

RecD TURBO UPDATE! We've got a LOT cooking for December, so let's get into it!

First, A KIRBY AIR RIDERS VIDEO! Gourmet Race (Air Riders Version) WITH LYRICS is a side-story for the KIRBY VS DEDEDE series that features Dedede challenging Kirby to a rematch via City Trial...kinda.

This one should be ready to go next week, as our FIRST WITH LYRICS VIDEO SINCE 2023! It's chock full of really silly gags and a ton of Dedede for all the Kirby Vs. Dedede fans, with Kirb returning as well to voice Kirby!

Next up is CATNAP CLAUS! In this Holly Jolly Minisode, Catnap is putting the critters to sleep on Christmas Eve...but Santa Claus was visiting to give them presents at the same time, so Catnap accidentally gases him too! Now it's up to Catnap to deliver the rest of Santa's gifts by Christmas day.

This one was actually an idea I had last year on twitter and REALLY wanted to do, but we already had the entire art team working on Unexpected so I had to hold off. Excited to say it should be out before Christmas this month!

Finally, a promise kept: I told the fans if Unexpected got a million views I'd do a Bye Bye There inspired original, and you all sure did get it there! I'M-A OUTTA HERE! follows Peppino and the other bosses as they escape from the crumbling tower of Pizza in a lively track inspired by Sonic R.

This one was scheduled for December too initially, but some health issues took a bit more of my time than expected during development, and it's got a TON of characters in it to draw (maybe more than unexpected did???) so it should be ready early into 2026, most likely January or February.

That's everything on my schedule for now, but FNF Musical (once i figure out where to take the main story), ENA and many other projects are still on the table for the future! The ENA song especially is fully arranged and is really just waiting on Dream Barbeque Chapter 2 to be announced to get finished. And, of course, you'll be able to hear a bunch more of my music, voice, writing & direction when Indigo Park Chapter 2 is finally ready!

In terms of collabs, there's a new episode of the RecD/‪@inubis‬ shared universe critter series coming out on the 8th (THIS MONDAY!) that revolves around a Dogday/Baba body Swap plot, so you can look forward to more of my writing as well as voicework for Catnap, Dogday & Icky Licky in it! I also guested on a Tenna track by ‪@Genichris‬, so be sure to check it out on his channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keSfK...

Thank you all so much for your support this year. Hitting a million subscribers is still unbelievable to me & I'm happy to keep the party going as long as I can with lots more music, entries into old beloved series and plenty of new ones yet to come!

GIVE A REST Releases on NOVEMBER 7th (Next Friday)! Check out the preview NOW for a sneak peak at our official TAKE A REST PREQUEL and the FIRST entry in the RecD/INUbis Smiling Critter series! www.youtube.com/shorts/774T9L...

This 8+ minute long monster of a number is one I've wanted to write ever since this series BECAME a series (Take A Rest was initially invisioned as a one-off & I had NO IDEA it would become as huge as it did) - so consider this a connecting piece to explain just HOW Catnap got the way he is in that song & the true start of the series.

Want even more of me? Two other things I worked on released today! First, I got to voice Mr. Boss and write/compose the second half of EddieFRB's Smiling Friends Vs. Don't Hug Me I'm Scared rap battle! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaQjE2B_HCw

And second, I was brought on by Fan the Can to voice RAP RAT for a (shockingly good) original song! Funk E. Cheese fans, this is your lucky day! Check that out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZwM-...

Thank you all so much for your continued support. I'll have an update on some future songs in the pipeline after GIVE A REST releases next week!
