Few artists embody the raw, uncompromising spirit of outsider music like Steve Lieberman, better known as The Gangsta Rabbi. At 67 years old, with a catalog boasting 22 commercial CDs and 38 cassette releases, Lieberman has built a cult legacy on doing things entirely his way, no polish, no compromise, just unhinged punk chaos. His latest track, “CROTCH ROCKET”, continues that tradition, proving once again that his art is equal parts primal scream therapy and daring musical experimentation.
Lieberman’s story is as remarkable as his sound. A Jewish-American punk icon from Freeport, New York, he has spent decades navigating the delicate balance between madness and genius. His lifelong struggle with bipolar disorder, along with his ongoing battle with leukemia, adds a sense of urgency to his music. “I’m working all the time when my leukemia allows me to,” he says, making “CROTCH ROCKET” not just a song, but a powerful testament to resilience.
“CROTCH ROCKET” is a musically abrasive and chaotic song that defiantly disregards structure, challenging listeners to keep pace. Lieberman performs every instrument himself, layering distorted guitar, frantic bass, erratic beats, and bursts of flute and brass into a swirling sonic storm. His vocals are guttural, confrontational, and completely unfiltered, delivering lyrics with the intensity of someone who refuses to be silenced.
There’s no doubt about it: Lieberman isn’t trying to please everyone. Instead, “CROTCH ROCKET” serves as a pure expression of raw punk energy from an artist who has nothing left to prove and nothing to lose. For fans of outsider art, noise rock, and the wild edges of punk, Steve Lieberman’s latest work is not just a song; it’s a rallying cry.
