Just when you thought it was safe to look at the Internet without being pelted with another story about bath salts turning humans into empty husks, or reading a story about the drug that makes you not be able to sleep at night, Dickward Codgers, aka JReal, aka Dallas "comedy rap" artist Jared Kapavik, has decided to address the designer drug with his new track, "Bath Salts." Says Kapavik:
"I've done pretty much every drug in the book, including hallucinogens, and I have never had the urge to step outside what I know is normal. I'm not glorifying my veteran status as a user. I am merely using it as a comparison. I talk about Vicodin, lean, coke in all my songs, more to share personal experience than anything. It is the same as a rapper who talks about street life. I don't think they are glorifying it. I think they are sharing their struggle. When I looked into bath salts and saw the behavior associated with heavy use, I felt like it was a topic I could shed some light on, and still stick with being me as a comedy rap artist."
Well, I've definitely seen artists channel the horrors of addiction and "comedy" a little more gracefully than Codgers, but nuance doesn't seem to be his bag. Despite Kapavik's claim of satire, the video will come with a disclaimer.

Bio
Dickward Codgers ia a raunchy comedy rap/rock artist from Dallas, TX. Dick started to make a name for himself in August 2012 with the release of his controversial "Bathsalts" single and music video, which made national headlines. He has since opened for acts such as Mickey Avalon, Dirt Nasty, Riff Raff, Paul Wall, Digital Underground and 2 Live Crew to name a few, as well as many headlining gigs in and around Dallas.
Dickward is the antedote for what is wrong with the world, and music. There is no line that he is not willing to cross on any topic. Dickward says what everyone else is thinking, but can't say. In late 2012 he released his debut EP "Fuk Off" under the name JReal, who he has since killed off in favor of Dickward Codgers. "The name is razor sharp and you can't forget it once you hear it." "Fuk Off" featured the singles "Woodstick" ,"The Man" and "Smoke It" , which have had relatively good success on youtube with almost 300,000 views between the 3. "Bathsalts" has garnered almost 200,000 views alone in 1 year with little to no backing or management.
"Johnny Cash Sauce" is sure to be the single that takes Dickward to the national stage. A brilliant and witty homage to the late great, while launching an attack on pop culture. The hook is infectious with a sing along, classic bridge and the one liners get better as the song goes. The official press release and music video are coming September 27th, 2013 leading up to his next EP titled, "Hello, I'm Dickward Codgers", slated for release in late 2013.
