Some may remember Boondox more as the artist Turn Coat Dirty from the first round of the Underground Psychos Contest or even earlier as part of S.H.I (Southern Hustlas Inc.) with Smokey and Produk.
The Newton County native is easily identified by his distinct look - a flannel shirt, straw hat and sinister face paint. In addition to this, Boondox also sports the Hatchetman pendant typical of all artists on the Psychopathic Records label.
According to his official biography, Boondox "tears it up over everything from Southern sounding banjo and harmonica loops to (Mike E.) Clark's patented sick-ass drum beats and fat bass drops." Boondox's debut album, "The Harvest", was released on July 11, 2006 through Psychopathic Records and features the Axe Murder Boyz, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, the Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid as guests.
With hypeman Jake Polzin aka Cousin Cleetus by his side and a live drummer behind him, Boondox made his concert debut at the 2006 Gathering of the Juggalos, which consisted of 4 songs, "Out Here", "Diggin' Myself Out", "Seven", and "They Pray With Snakes".
He is currently accompanying Blaze Ya Dead Homie and the Axe Murder Boyz on "The Tombstone Terror Tour" which is Boondox's first ever tour on Psychopathic Records.
Intro
Boondox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pick it up went bam bam blim blim
Shut up, I said shut up!
The dead lay all around me We all together lay
You gon' have ta keep that pretty little mouth quiet
Oh lord, Trouble done started
I said shut up bitch!
If you don't shut up Ill bleed you right here
I will not forgive you! None of you will be forgiven!
All of you shall feel his wrath!!
Shut up!
The dead lay all around me We all together lay
All of you shall feel his wrath!!
Hush up
The opening lines of Boondox's song "Intro" sets a dark and eerie tone, introducing a night as pitch black as can be. The following lines quickly intensify the mood with the sound of gunshots - "Pick it up went bam bam blim blim" - followed by the command to "shut up." The imagery of death is then introduced as the singer sees that the dead lay all around him and those alive with him, suggesting they are either in the middle of a warzone or a violent crime scene. The repetition of the phrase shut up intensifies the feeling of tension, as if the singer is struggling to remain in control of the situation and needs the others to fall in line.
The next lines introduce a sense of religious fanaticism as the singer warns that trouble has started and that none of them will be forgiven. This could imply that the violence they are involved in is somehow tied to a greater cause or belief system. The image of bleeding someone right there and the ultimatum to shut up contributes to the feeling of terror and impending doom. The repetition of the phrase "shut up" throughout the song also suggests the singer's desperation to cling onto whatever sense of control he has left.
Overall, the song "Intro" by Boondox is a gripping and suspenseful introduction into a world of violence, death and religious fanaticism. The lyrics suggest that the singer is in the midst of some sort of violent confrontation and is struggling to keep those around him in line.
