Why We Relaunched

Verbally Diseased has always been built on independence—owning our sound, our stories, and our connection to fans. The new VerballyDiseased.com is a full record store, designed so you can play, buy, and collect straight from the source.

Using Distribution as Promotion (Not the Destination)

You’ll still find us on the major platforms—Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok—but we’re treating those channels as promotion units that funnel listeners back to our site. Streams introduce the music; ownership happens here.

How the funnel works:

  • Clips & playlists → spark discovery

  • Link-in-bio & video descriptions → point to VerballyDiseased.com

  • On-site you get full access, bonus content, and the best prices

What’s New in the Store

  • Digital Downloads for $0.89
    Instant MP3/WAV—own the music, throw it on your phone, car, or DAW.

  • “HIP-HOP’S LOST TREASURE”
    Our legendary catalog drop—available as a limited USB edition with certificate, plus digital.

  • Albums (USB/CD/Digital)
    Classic projects and new releases from the Verbally Diseased roster.

  • Merch & Posters
    Tees, hoodies, prints, and collectibles tied to releases.

  • Music Videos
    Watch snippets and premieres right on the site—play before you buy.

Why It Matters

  • Better sound, better value: high-quality files, $0.89 downloads, and collectibles you can pass down.

  • Direct support: your purchase funds the artists, producers, and the next generation of the label.

  • Community: exclusive drops, early access, and real connection with the South Side movement.
