Declan the Celebrity and King Gus reconnect for “Cartoons For Criminals and Scum II,” a follow-up to their well-received 2025 release. Keeping the chemistry intact, the duo returns with a five-song EP that feels less like a traditional project and more like a laid-back session between two artists comfortable in their respective spaces.
Entirely produced by Declan the Celebrity, the EP moves through a diverse collection of soundscapes. The production provides enough texture to keep each track interesting without overwhelming the voices at the project’s center. That balance gives Declan the Celebrity and King Gus plenty of room to explore different lyrical territories with confidence while allowing listeners to sit back and absorb the music without unnecessary distractions.


Anthony Kannon is the lone guest appearance, reinforcing the project’s intimate feel. Rather than packing the EP with features, “Cartoons For Criminals and Scum II” keeps the circle small, creating the atmosphere of a few colleagues linking up, trading thoughts, and chopping it up over cool vibes. The chemistry between Declan and King Gus remains the driving force, with the production serving as the backdrop for their conversations and lyrical exchanges.
More than just a follow-up, “Cartoons For Criminals and Scum II” also sets the table for what’s next. Declan the Celebrity is preparing his next tape, Mick Mar$, while King Gus has a string of singles scheduled for release later this year. Until then, “Cartoons For Criminals and Scum II” is a chance to get acquainted with the fellas and experience what happens when two artists let the music breathe and simply enjoy the process.
