Codefendants
Fat Mike's genre-agnostic side project — punk, rap, and folk stitched into something genuinely odd, with Ceschi's rapid-fire verses at the center.
Codefendants formed in 2022 around NOFX bassist Fat Mike and Connecticut rapper and singer Ceschi Ramos, with guitarist Sam King completing the core lineup. The project deliberately refuses a single lane: hip-hop cadences run over punk chord progressions, acoustic passages, and studio collage, and the group has drawn in a wide range of guest vocalists from the punk and rap worlds. Lyrically the material tends toward addiction, incarceration and personal wreckage, delivered in Ceschi's dense, fast-moving verses. Records have been issued through Fat Mike's Fat Wreck Chords.
