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.

sippin around
tippin up a another cupa
sippin' on down
sippin on down
sippin around
tippin up another cupa
12 gauge double barrel
loaded full of buckshot
brewin up that mountain dew
it boilin like a crockpot
deep out in theese southern woods and
far away from evrything
out amongest the tombstones
cookin up that hurracain
take a sip for testin then'
pour a littlie on the ground
soak up in that goregia clay
and now i'm waitin for the sound
150 year burried deep in the earths grip
soon there gonna dancein
when that cool water hits there lips
made from the mill
out a feild cursed by whodo
water from a well
striaght outta hell
cursed by vodoo
stir it up cook it to the point that it evaporates
173 degrees born again

In Boondox's song "Sippin'," he describes the act of drinking moonshine in the Southern woods. The lyrics suggest that the experience is an escape from the stresses of everyday life and a way to connect with the past. Boondox paints a vivid picture of the scene with his lyrics, describing the double-barrel shotgun loaded with buckshot and the boiling moonshine in a crockpot.
The lyrics also reference the Southern tradition of pouring out a sip of moonshine on the ground as an offering to the spirits of the forest. Boondox mentions waiting for the sound of the dead awakening, a nod to the belief in Southern folklore that the spirits of the dead rise from the ground when moonshine is poured on their burial sites.
The second half of the song is an ode to the thrill of bootlegging moonshine across state lines, dodging the law and living life on the edge. Boondox describes the different types of moonshine and the effects they have on the drinker, including seeing things and feeling insane.
Overall, "Sippin" is a song that celebrates the Southern tradition of moonshining and the thrill of living dangerously.
