It’s been nearly four months since the last Epic Rap Battles of History episode, and If you’re jonesing for a fix, that show’s co-creator has a new web series out that just might be the next best thing. Lloyd Ahlquist, known online as EpicLLOYD, has shared the first four episodes of Epic Studios on his personal YouTube channel.
Epic Studios stars Ahlquist as a man who inherits a dilapidated studio from his deceased rock star father. Upon arriving in Toronto to check out the facility, Ahlquist finds he’ll have a lot of work to do if he wants to bring Epic Studios to a respectable place. Each episode of his saga is accompanied by its own musical number, with frequent Erb collaborator Zach Sherwin contributing to the songwriting team. In the premiere, for example, Ahlquist laments not googling Epic Studios before agreeing to take it over.

Epic Rap Battles of History just completed its third season, but co-creator EpicLLOYD (Aka Lloyd Ahlquist) is finding a way to stay busy. On August 1st and 2nd, he will host Off The Top, a pair of unique improv shows that will take place at the YouTube Creator Spaces in La, London, and Tokyo. Off The Top, which will be live-streamed on Ahlquist's YouTube channel, will feature improvised rap battles and a game called "pain-prov", but the most unique and exciting element of the show will be a series of improv games that will begin with suggestions from the Internet and span three continents. As with Comedy Central's new web series Social Scene, fans will be able to suggest scene ideas through Twitter and other social media platforms. Once Ahlquist and his team of La-based comedians receive suggestions, they will act out a scene in front of a live audience at YouTube Space La.

The second half of the third-season of the biggest YouTube series ever concluded on Monday, July 14, 2014 with a collaboration that’s worthy of the exclamation, “Cowabunga!” Epic Rap Battles of History’s release of Artists vs. Tmnt pits the four revered Italian masters Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo against the heroes in a halfshell that bear their names thanks to an anthropomorphic rat with an affinity for art history. The historical Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo are played respectively by YouTube stars Link Neal, Rhett McLaughlin, Ian Hecox, and Anthony Padilla, while the turtle versions are Lloyd Ahlquist (aka EpicLloyd) in an epoxy and carbon fiber costume designed by Dragan Radic. Erb’s resident martial artist Xin Wuku also provided the jump kicks and any other fancy footwork you see on screen. The epic, collaborative finale is a very nice send off for a very successful third season of Erb.
