West Coast hip-hop staple and DubCNN regular, Epademik, returns with a brand new full-length project, “DORNER.” The newly released output is comprised of 8 -tracks, no features and pure ether. Epademik channels his alter-ego (Dorner) throughout the soundscape and delivers an outstanding lyrical exhibition while venting like a fire-breathing dragon, incinerating anything in its wake. Eppie bars no holds on Dorner, targeting rappers, radio hosts, podcasters and whoever else foolish enough to stand in the line of fire.
The album kicks off with the track “BONKERS,” upon which Ep lays hate over an infectious, bouncy hip-hop track that pairs perfectly with his scathing lyrical content (aimed at a certain well-know music industry figure and a particular internet radio host, among others including Diddy) and the ethereal female vocals on the chorus.
Staying consistent with the theme, the second track, titled “CRAZY,” is in essence part two of the previously mentioned track, as Dorner teases the macabre:
I’m throwing joints, you catching L’s,
I’m off the rail can’t you tell?
Want some more details? – Epademik
The madness commences on “BODIED,” as Dorner gives a transparent glimpse of his mental state, as he hilariously declares:
“So we gonna slide gonna slide gonna slide, you better go inside go inside go inside, you better go and hide go and hide go qnd hide, watch the turbo double back getaway cause I’m white.” – Epademik
The self-explanatory track, “FRAUD,” pits our villain against his enemies once again, as Ep re-applies the foot to the neck of shady entities within the business while reiterating,
“I’m not here trying to be your favorite. ” – Epademik
“VIOLENCE” and “BLAP” are subsequent in numerical order, with the aforementioned serving as a magazine reload with a haunting underlying tone. The latter track sees Dorner in a relatively lighter state-of-mind, as he reminds society of his various nefarious works.
“Don’t you forget it, I was front center on DubCNN when you want to get in it.” – Epademik
Dorner cleans up the crime scene on the last two offerings “BRIDGES” and “IMMORAL,” where he respectively reminds us that “you need the bad guy,” and that sometimes, just sometimes, the villain is right.

“This isn’t just an album—it’s a declaration of war. With DORNER, Epademik goes full throttle, no filter, no brakes, and no apologies. The project is a raw, unrelenting crash-out aimed directly at podcasters, rappers, promoters, and anyone else who’s been running their mouth without merit. Names are called, shots are fired, and the line in the sand has been drawn.
Every track drips with tension, hostility, and truth, delivered with the kind of venom that only Epademik can conjure. This is not a record for the faint of heart—this is confrontation in its purest form. DORNER is a sonic battlefield, where Epademik refuses to play nice and demands accountability from a scene that’s grown too comfortable hiding behind fake narratives and clout games.
It’s aggressive. It’s fearless. It’s personal.
With DORNER, Epademik cements himself as the last artist willing to say what others won’t, taking aim at the culture’s pretenders and daring them to respond.
This is the sound of a man on the edge, daring the industry to cross the line he’s just drawn.” – Bad Seed Entertainment
