Hannicap Circus is the first solo release from Bizarre, the most high profile (and definitely weirdest) member of Eminem’s band D12. The album title comes from Bizarre considering himself a "special" artist.

Hannicap Circus finds Bizarre stepping out from the motley crew safety net of D12 members Eminem, Kon Artis, Swift, Kuniva and Proof. And according to the hip-hop wildman, it’s about damn time. His public fistfights for control over the Dirty Dozen against "leader" Marshall Mathers have become legendary in music industry circles ("Marshall was just asking to be punched out," riffs Bizarre.) The ongoing rivalry picks up from where D12’s 2004 hit "My Band" left off on his first single "Rock Star." On the fast-paced Slim Shady produced track, Bizarre proclaims his dominance as an artist who has exceeded the likes of Elvis, The Osmonds, and Kiss combined. Who could argue? "I’m the man, the lead singer of the band, on stage for thousands of fans/I used to be a dancer for Hammer, if you look you can see me in the camera," Bizarre flips in his trademark husky flow.

On "Bad Day," an hilarious reworking of Ice Cube’s 1992 West Coast classic "It Was A Good Day," Bizarre is backed by hip-hop producing legend Erick Sermon and unleashes a witty dose of off-centered story-telling. "I gotta go because I got on flip-flops, if I slow down then my feet will drop/Had to stop at the red light, everybody laughing at my yellow dirt bike," says the dejected rapper. The brazen "Gospel Weed" (producer TK) proves that nothing is sacred in the warped mind of Bizarre. And the x-rated R&B fueled "Porno Bitches," produced by D12’s Mr. Porter and featuring fellow comedic rhymer Devin tha Dude and Outkast’s own Big Boi, finds the deranged emcee claiming, "I love porn, but niggas be hating/R. Kelly ain’t got nothing on the shit I be making."

"A lot of the shit on Hannicap Circus was made for weed smokers," Bizarre freely admits. "But when I’m not rapping, I’m in Atlanta or Michigan fishing with my homeboys. I try to stay as normal as possible to keep myself grounded around my family. When D12 goes on tour it’s so wild. I like to go home and take the trash out to remind myself who I am."
