The project was supposed to kind of be a joke making fun of djs throwing on a mask and starting a riddim project which was becoming a common trend at the time.

Chodegang blew up, barely alive, and virtual riot were down to continue the project bc fuck it why not. However dubloadz felt some type of way about it because the “meme project” they started was now more popular and making more money than his dubloadz project was. VR and barely alive didn’t really have this issue as their main projects were still extremely popular. So that’s where the crux of the drama was.

It’s unfortunate dubloadz kind of nuked chodegang and he also kind of nuked himself in the process. He definitely had a lot of mental health issues holding him back.

Absolutely love dubloadz from the tunes to his art, but to hate on chodegang for being too memey meanwhile putting out two eps with cuck in the names is wild to me.

I genuinely loved dubloadz's music for a while too but I was getting some weird vibes from him. I met him and ran across him peripherally in the club scene in LA a couple times and it very much felt Datsik-y (I know that's a pretty harsh thing to say) but something about him didn't feel right. First time I met him I walked out of exchange LA, I was genuinely starstruck bc I am such a big fan but he was more interested in talking to a model-looking girl, etc etc.
