MC Chris
Christopher Brendan Ward-
from Libertyville, Illinois; then, Chicago and NYC
-Associated with the genre of nerdcore hip hop, his trademarks include the high pitch of his voice and the combination of his "geek" heritage with the "gangster" image associated with most hip hop artists. He has released five albums, three EPs, one re-release, and a tenth anniversary edition of his recordings with The Lee Majors.

Nerdcore hip hop
Ward originally performed with The Lee Majors. While he is one of the artists most closely associated with the genre of nerdcore hip hop, he has been hesitant to accept the nerdcore label for most of his career, preferring to describe his style as "mc chris music"[8] as well as expressing concern over limiting himself to such a narrow audience and subject matter. He has lashed out at the media for focusing more on the nerdcore scene than his music, as well as the nerdcore community as a whole. Despite these issues, he has periodically apologized to those in the nerdcore community for the aforementioned conflicts and has appeared in news stories dealing with nerd culture and nerdcore. Recently, he has done even more than simply apologizing; saying, "In the beginning, I felt I was more of an individual and not a part of anything," and further, "It's nice that a lot of folks consider me part of it. It's actually embarrassing how I used to think I was the only one playing with "Star Wars" toys and making music, and it just wasn't true. I have absolutely no problem with the label now."
He self-releases with no record label.


MC Lars
-From San Francisco, California.
-"It isn't easy being a post punk laptop rapper. You're forced to lead a genre that doesn't exist, navigate around cookie cutter superstars, push yourself to make music unlike anything else on earth and spend every penny of your own money to get it all done. You meet kids at every tour date who love what you do, yet turn on MTV and see homogenized puppets that regurgitate their genres and miles piles of dough in the process. You push boundaries of DIY and give major labels the middle finger. You hope (and know) that his will be all worth it some day."

MC Lars is a member of what he dubs the "iGeneration," a group born and raised in the time of the Ninja Turtles, cassette tapes and new wave music, who now live in the age of Gossip Girls, iPhones and screamo bands. These are the kids who have grown up using the internet as a part of their every day life. They can conveniently carry 300K songs in their pocket, but are faced with the glooming fact that the world's oil supply and social security will both run out in their lifetime. MC Lars is the hero of this new generation, addressing their thoughts and every day struggles with music.




Spose
Ryan Michael Peters, better known by his stage name Spose
-from Wells, Maine
-Spose -  Possibly the sickest rapper ever. Can be found in Wells, Maine. Just look for the purple smoke and listen for a flow that would make Eminem shit himself. Also, he uses proper English in his raps, and he is still better than anything on the radio.
I was bumping Spose while downing some Pabts Blue and smoking a bowl of that dank stuff. [Urban Dictionary]
