Dirtcore Music marks an expansion for the brand as it pivots into other realms outside of music by welcoming author, activist & spoken recording artist Marcel “Fable” Price (originally known as Fable the Poet) as the newest signing to the ever-growing underground label. Dirtcore founder & CEO Crossworm recounts first meeting Fable in 2014 by saying “I was recommended to Fable as an engineer & he was working on his first record, which was spoken word coupled with live instrumentation. I remember hearing his lyrics & it fundamentally changed me as a person. Showing me a side of life that I have never & could never experience. I helped him put that album together as well as some artwork. This is now the 2nd full release I’ve had the honor to be a part of & at a certain point, I think it became an obvious decision for both of us to continue building together. After his new release was picked up by the New Michigan Press, we decided that Dirtcore was going to be the best fit for the recording artist side of his art.” Coinciding the announcement, the video for “Kehinde” off Fable’s 2020 triple disc offering New American Monarch named after his new book of the same name.
