MC Chris
High-pitched and hidden behind his ever-present low-slung black baseball cap, MC Chris is the comic-loving, videogame-playing antithesis to the common conception of rap music. From his beginnings in Cartoon Networks late-night programming, most notably as MC P Pants in stoner favorite Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Chriss natural comedic leanings and lightning-fast flow paved the way for the cult nerdcore following, with the Star Wars-centric Fetts Vette--a taste of what collaboration between Mickey Avalon and George Lucas might sound like-- and the nerd girl anthem titled, well, Nrrrd Grrrl. Despite the lightweight subject matter, MC Chris is a legitimately sharp rapper--albeit one who is perfectly content goofing around over a Casio synth beat. With MC Lars, Math The Band. NICK FELDMAN
