Following the seismic impact of his recent singles “Rose McGowan” ft Rose McGowan and the Corey Taylor-assisted “Blame,” Kid Bookie - the artist who famously refuses to be boxed in - has officially announced his new full-length studio album, “Cheaper Than Therapy II,” arriving October 16th via FLG Records.
Kid Bookie has spent over a decade dismantling the barriers between UK rap, alternative rock, and heavy metal. From his early days earning recognition on BBC Radio 1Xtra to his MOBO nomination for Best Alternative Music Act, Bookie has evolved into a formidable voice in the British alternative scene. Cheaper Than Therapy II serves as the definitive evolution of his 2021 predecessor, blending trap aggression with soaring melodic hooks and unflinching emotional honesty.
The 11-track project is a masterclass in collaboration, and features a diverse roster of icons that reflect Bookie’s unpredictable creative universe. The album sees a return of his long-standing creative bond with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor on the searing track “BLAME,” and features a historic collaboration with Rose McGowan. The record also boasts appearances from UK rap royalty Lady Leshurr, Shona McGarty, and a special interlude from Kate Nash.
Produced largely by long-time collaborator Ziey Kizzy alongside Bookie himself, and featuring production from Sid Wilson (Slipknot) and Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Nova Twins), the album - recorded at ETB Audio Visual - boasts a sonic collision of icons and emotion.
Cheaper Than Therapy II captures Kid Bookie at the height of his powers, trading underground cult status for undeniable main character energy. After storming the UK iTunes Rock Chart Top 10 and cementing his place on the Official Independent Charts with 2024’s Songs For The Living // Songs For The Dead, Bookie has evolved beyond the "breakthrough" labels. He isn't just a contender; he’s the one setting the pace for the entire genre.
Speaking on the spirit of the new record, Kid Bookie shares: “Cheaper Than Therapy II is the closest thing to a full circle fuck you imaginable. After losing a home, a relationship, friends, family, agents, labels and more, there was a time I had no hope but a remnant of a dream and a small flame. “Cheaper Than Therapy” was always about giving the underdog their moments, not just me. An underground artist bringing the legends and stars of rock and beyond into a melting pot of post-genre feeling and mood whilst asking them to bare their truths in audio format. Bringing through similar guests from Volume 1, CTT2 aims to show that through all life throws at you, whether you’re the maverick, the disruptor or able to bring the people together, doing it on your own terms for the sake of redemption was the therapy we all needed. Welcome to Cheaper Than Therapy II”.
