ROD WRECK & THE SCRAP MASTERS ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM: 'HEAVY GAUGE HEARTBEAT'

The North Philly Scrap Game Gets Its Soundtrack

PHILADELPHIA, PA – DJ Champ, Kreative Maniac, and The Scrap Masters are proud to announce the forthcoming release of 'Heavy Gauge Heartbeat,' the debut album from rising North Philly artist Rod Wreck. This project is the first major release from the unique music platform dedicated to the world of scrap metal recycling and industrial hustle.

'Heavy Gauge Heartbeat' is an uncompromising 11-track sonic manifesto that fuses the raw energy of Philly Drill with the unforgiving soundscape of the industrial scrapyard. The album perfectly captures the contrast between the heavy, cold metallic grind and the passionate, protective loyalty of the crew that powers the operation.

"This is more than music; it’s the truth," says DJ Champ. "We're not rapping about fiction. Every bar is forged in the yard—from the sound of the torch to the count of the copper. This is for the workers, the lifers, and everyone who turned scrap into something."

Album Highlights:

Rod Wreck delivers his signature "Yard Boss" flow on tracks like "Copper & Cold Grime" and the authoritative "Yard Boss Blues," featuring the tactical and mysterious Philly Phantom.

The album showcases the collective strength of The Wrecking Crew on the loyalty anthem "Blood In The Bolt."

Production from Kreative Maniac is deliberately heavy and percussive, utilizing industrial sounds, metal clangs, and welding sparks as rhythmic elements alongside hard-hitting 808s.

Rod Wreck summarizes the project simply: "You see the chain now; you don't see the fingerprints on the wire. This album lets you hear the struggle that built the success. The Concrete Don't Lie and the Heavy Gauge Heartbeat won't either."
