Business casual attire and thick rimmed glasses might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of hiphop. It's the exact opposite when you're listening to nerdcore hiphop. I'm referencing the "Godfather" of the nerdcore genre, MC Frontalot. One of the first, and definitely one of the best artists to check out when diving into the realm of video game culture. You might have seen him... more.

3 time nerdapalooza veteran and honorary member of Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew, Zealous 1 is possibly nerdcore's favorite artist to date. This California resident is not only an mc, but a producer as well, and after after a video was made for his initial single 'level up' it went viral with over 250,000 views. However he is definitely not a one hit wonder. He followed suit with three complet... more.

Recording Artist, founder of the label Scrub Club Records, and all around nice guy, Madhatter has been one of the largest parts of the nerdcore hiphop movement for years. After bursting on the scene with the single "Ganon Slayer" from his nintendo inspired album '8-bit bullshit', he quickly rose to the top of the game. Instead of keeping the spotlight on himself however, he decided to build an... more.

Hailing from the state of florida and signed to the biggest east coast nerdcore label to date (EMPulse records), Krondor Krew is the premiere ninja hiphop duo on the face of the planet.

Well versed in both lyricism and the way of the ninja, their 3 albums prove that yo... more.

YT Cracker, could quite possibly be the most dangerous nerdcore artist alive. This guy isn't just a dude who raps about the underground hacking and spamming scene, he has lived it and NASA is completely aware of that. Thankfully for the federal government he has laid down the sword and picked up a mic, and the results are quite nerdalicious! With 3 solo albums under his belt, half a dozen collab... more.

Straight out of Washington state, Beefy is definitely one of the biggest names in Nerdcore. Not only has he released two of the best Nerdcore hiphop albums to hit the internet community, Tube Technology and Rolling Doubles, but he just somehow seems to be friends with every single well-known artist in the genre. Since 2005, Beefy has released tons of solo material, but he's also been known to ... more.

Schaffer the Darklord is no stranger to the spotlight. Whether he's touring the country (which he does on a regular basis), or he's hosting burlesque shows in his home city (new york) he's always doing one thing, entertaining. Having quite possibly some of the most energetic performances ever in nerdcore's history makes Schaffer an artist you cannot afford too miss seeing live! His talents don... more.
