3rd 4 T3h NRRD: May '12

Tribe One

Also, Tribe One Won, Dirty South Swamp Thing, Devil Rhymeosaur & Ol' Dirty Batroc. And I'm sure other awesome pseudonyms as well.

It's a shirt. I really want one. As much as I loathe those "pop-eye as a playa" or "pink panther as a pimp" Tees, this one is fresh, yo!

This particular artist was once part of a group called Remnant and has since guested on many Nerdcore tracks across the verse, some might be very familiar, and has laid down a couple albums, you can scope them NYAH. 
He has also toured with MC Chris & Adam Warrock for a stint on the Race Wars Tour.

I really hope this dude keeps producing and performing as I like his semi-spoken word style and his clean delivery. The beats he employs are usually solid with what I would call roots in more old school hip-hop but many that are unquestionably nerdy.

"That's right, I'm a grown ass man about to go out in public in a Spiderman Shirt" - a quote from his Facebook

He seems to be very in touch with the southern scene with a know-how and passion. There is a lot of heart in his music, and I like how clean that is. I like me some gimmicky/silly/obscene punchlines as much as the next angry nerd, but there's truth in his music that is refreshing and there needs to be more of it in the world in general.

Adam WarRock
I'm going to be honest on this one. I had no idea who this guy was until Nerdcore Now Vol. 1 and I think that is awesome (that that compilation helped me find him, not that I didn't know who he was, that is a sad thing). A newer player on the nerdcore scene, this cat has been hard at work.

It would seem this dude likes his comic books and hey buddy, do I approve of his flow and his ear for beats. His voice is nice and even, no crazy tonalities or pitches. His rhymes are usually very even and clear which makes them that much more fun to listen to and enjoy.

You can find him hard at work all over the intarwebs and I know I will be pulling down his ocular harvest and sharing it with the world through my Shenani-Van speakers.

I'm Spent

So, very sorry, nothing AWESOME OMFGROFLCOPTER today. I kinda shot a lot off last week and didn't have a lot prepared for today. I am posting before midnight as per my personally set standards and worry not, I have a Meme-Orable in the pipe ready for your consumption come Thursday, as well as the 3rd 4 T3h Nrrd from yesterday. Entertain thyself!

Oh yes, and being a HUGE Star Wars fan I can't leave Star Wars Day without something, so here . . .

MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!!!

3rd 4 T3h Nrrd: May '10

Unleash the Dragon with this Slammin-smooth, super-sized, Samoan.

Zealous1

Like most of the rest of the intarwebs I was introduced to this So-Cal rap-wright through hearing "Level Up." I wont lie, I wasn't overly impressed but the beat was steady and the content spoke to me.

After hearing him on a couple collab's since, I decided to track down his tracks and give his library a good hard listen.

Hell-to-the-yeah! On one of my irregular road trips to deal with family affairs I listened exclusively to Zealous1's albums and continued to for a couple days after.

A proud member of Scrub Club Records, a member of Boss Fights and a driving force of the unofficial So-Cal Nerdcore crop, this dude is really chill.

His music is true, keeps it real, his flow is slick no matter what the tempo, his beats are varied and feel well thought out. Although many of the Scrub Club artists espouse a free music, free life, make music for life is freedom, mentality, I think Zealous is among the few who could and should get paid for their art.

Seek him out in any number of his net haunts and get down.
