3rd 4 t3h NRRD: April '12

If Nerdcore ever makes it into "mainstream," as in, gets national radio play, I believe artists like Richie Branson will be the ones to break the barrier.

Get yo Game Chain! Srsly, go get one

(Yes, I know Branson himself has gotten airtime in his home state, as well as well known nerdy rapper MC Lars gets some play time in the Cali bay area on Live 105, but I know I never heard a Branson track in my neck of the woods, and I doubt The Boss Fights ever SUDDENLY bumped "Hot Topic is not Punk Rock" because it came on 91X)

This dude is a pro in every sense of the word. Serious DIY. Not only is he a head of a production company that has connected to major record labels, he has performed every job involved in producing music. Just look at his bio, dude's diverse.
This might be yet another review on an artist who does not self identify as NerdCore but definitively has Nerdy Hip Hop but until the artist says "no, I'm not Nerdcore and don't call me that" which some have done, I think they might be okay with that.
Back to the music, please enjoy this delicious track inspired by a VERY popular franchise . . .

As one should expect from someone who has done so much in the last few years, his sound is clean, upbeat, and steady. I understand everything being spit, can bob my head to the beat, recognize the samples he's acquired from properties I'm familiar with and they meld well into the total composition. If the dude doesn't exactly rep Nerdcore then he's def a big ol' geek, just check his site.
I am starting to find that when a really good artist comes into my music library, the less I have to say about him, the more I just enjoy them. This is definitely the case here. Go snag his tunes, pay for them if you can, keep the music and the artists alive, and so you can see what kind of cross over he does, here is something a little more "normal"

'Ello Droogies, raz 'as come for another bloke!
Who and what's with the terrible accent and Burgess reference?

Milk-PlusI have heard this name mentioned countless times over the last five years, associated with projects and even dropping songs here and there, dude is after my own heart as a Nerdcore Playa in the UK. Peep his site HERE, I know I will be checking in for info on a regular basis.
For some sound sampling he's on a few diff sites, like Reverb Nation, Last FM, Myspace, ya know.

OR, one of my fave-most recent songs is a slick hit off of Nerdcore Now 1 . . .

OR OR Ore, if you have 6 minutes to kill I HIGHLY recommend THIS SONG about some hoopy froods you may be familiar with, collabed with a couple other artists we are familiar with.

I have pulled down his free stuff and thuroughly enjoyed his previous collabs, and look forward to blasting his raps all over. I also love how he is an avid supporter of other artists and tries to help promote (like likes like?) . Cheers Mate (if those colloquialisms are still valid) and Rap on Net Geeksta, real Horrorshow!

Let us consult a doctor of other sorts. A real doctor. A Dr. of Science!

MC HAWKING!!

This monotone, digitized, D.O.G. has some slick beats, and rhymes to bend times on top of content that topically exceeds all nerdy expectations! The beats truly do rock. In every song I have reason to tap my foot and nod my head. The voice emulation program is never distracting to me, it always seems to be so well integrated into the music, and the hard core personality that the MC lays down leaves no question as to how hard Hawking is.

Although his secret identity has been revealed, this fictional MoFo is still a great Nerdcore luminary and character for the ages. One of the Origional MC's on Front's "Nerdcore Rising," MC Hawking has been a little quite as of late but is putting out a little bit here, and hopefully soon a little bit there.

I know, I know, here we go again with the Front collab's but damn if Front doesn't do collab's with all the cool cats, and Front aside, I really do love Hawking in these songs. He IS the main character in Bitch Slap, so it's technically Front guest starring on a Hawking track.

We miss The Hawkman and can't wait to hear him rollin' with the Nerdcore Crop once more!
