For years after the first Cenobites EP came out in '95, Don had always believed that these recordings had been lost for good. While they received a few straight-off-cassette spins on Stretch & Bob's show, it was believed that these songs had somehow been mistakenly misplaced shortly after receiving play on the show in the 90's. Many years later, through a twist of fate, Bobbito had managed to find the original recordings he had of The Cenobites sessions. He quickly gave Don a phone call to let him know the joints he had thought were lost forever were now in his hands and that he wanted to bless Don with his newly revived masters. All of the sessions were recorded at Stretch & Bobbito's shared apartment, where many creative Cenobites experiments took place involving not only Don, Keith and Bob, but guests Percee-P and Cage of Mudbones. The "Demented Thoughts EP" (OLU-002) serves as part 2 of the original classic Cenobites recording sessions made from 1993 until 1996. Entirely produced by Godfather Don, this EP delivers 6 full length songs showcasing insane musical creations from the original mind of Don and Keith, with a center focus on Godfather Don's lyrical wizardry as Kool Keith actually only appears on one of the joints (yet with a marathon classic verse). These hip hop experiments are meshed amongst additional contributions from Bobbito and a teenage Cage (no rhyme intended). What's even more interesting about this 200 copy limited release is that it includes a lost song called "Hawaii" that features Bobbito kicking a verse that would later be immortalized in the hook for The Beatnuts' "Fried Chicken" song from their classic 1994 LP. For many years, fans have recognized Bobbito's voice being looped on the Beatnuts track saying "I keep flowing to the beat of the sure shot, my favorite jam of all time is The Body Rock"... but never being able to pinpoint where this was lifted from. Many assumed it was just a sample of Bobbito taped from his radio show freestyling and bugging out as he usually did at the time and did not realize it was an actual Cenobites recording with Godfather Don dropping a verse right after Bob. For the first time ever, that song and 5 other rare recordings have now found their home on proper vinyl.
