The Weeping Worm is the fourth extended play by American rapper Lil Ugly Mane. It was self-released via Bandcamp on October 26, 2014. Guest appearances include DJ Dog Dick and Nickelus F. ^[3] The EP also contains a video for "End Your Whole Shit". ^[4]

Release

The Weeping Worm was released on Lil Ugly Mane's Bandcamp on October 26, 2014, for $3. It wasn't released on any other streaming platform, although the tracks "Passion Sceptre/Dert Mysery" and "Hideous Disfigurements" were later included in the compilation album "Songs That People Emailed Me About Asking Why I Hadn't Put Them on Streaming Platforms", which was released on multiple streaming platforms in 2019. ^[5]

Slowed down version of the track "Nickelus F-Days Like This" was also later included in the album "Trick Dice" in track "SIDE A" by Nickelus F and Shawn Kemp, but it is released under the name "LUCID SLOWED". ^[6]

The track "Passion Sceptre/Dert Mysery" was previously included on vinyl alongside with "On Doing An Evil Deed Blues" in 2014. ^[7]

"Underwater Tank"

The Weeping Worm originally contained six songs, including "Underwater Tank" featuring Antwon. ^[8] This song was, however, removed from Bandcamp sometime between April 2017 and March 2019. This was most probably due to allegations against Antwon in 2018.

Reception

Etan Khanal from student-run music magazine "The B-Side" gave the EP a positive review stating: "This EP couldn't have come out at a better time. A darker, more vile Lil' Ugly Mane release is the perfect soundtrack to a late-night lurking through the streets." ^[9]
