Groovin’ Thursday: mc chris – “Wiid”

Nerdcore hip-hop is possibly one of the weirdest names for any genre of music to ever be made up.  You would think the definition would entail the artists are nerds who rap.  But, that’s not all true.  Call an artist like mc chris Nerdcore rapper and you will probably see the gangsta’ appear more than the nerd.  So, we wont put mc chris in that category.

If you’re familiar with Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network you might be familiar with mc chris’s voice and work.  He has wrote for and voiced characters for numerous shows on the network including Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, and one of my all time favorites Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.  mc chris has been offered numerous record deals from large and small labels, most recently ‘Psychopathic Records’ the home of I.C.P. offered mc a spot on the roster.  But, they’ve all been denied by the artist as he has chosen to stay independent and has been successful in doing so.  With a song named ‘Wiid’ its hard to say mc chris is not a fan of marijuana, so I just wont say it.

mc chris is one of my favorite artists to play on The John Doe Radio Show, and the more you listen to the catchy tunes and stories the more I think you will like it.  And, as you learn about the artist as a person you see how big of a heart he really has.  mc chris’s nephew was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis shortly after he was born, and since the moment mc learned of the news he has been fighting to raise awareness and money to conquer the disease.  By Christmas of 2008 mc had raised over $25,000, and his goal is the same by Christmas of this year.  Enjoy a hard to find track, ‘Wiid by mc chris.  And, please support these great independant artists and pick up their music on i-tunes.  mc chris has some great new music out.
