Hothead Games announced that Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness will include an original song by nerdcore rapper MC Frontalot. Who the hell is that, you may ask? And what is nerdcore? Let us school you…
MC Frontalot is the stage name of Damian Hess, a musician and author currently based in Brooklyn. In late 1999, Damian pioneered the subgenre of rap music called nerdcore hip-hop, a movement that has metastasized into an internet phenomenon. Nerdcore’s live-audience draw grows yearly, with acts such as Frontalot, MC Chris, MC Lars, and Optimus Rhyme filling increasingly larger venues on national tours. Damian’s independently produced MC Frontalot tracks have earned a devoted audience and his two retail albums Nerdcore Rising (August 2005) and Secrets From The Future (April 2007) are in their fourth and third printings respectively. He is the official rapper of Penny Arcade (the web’s most popular comic with 3.5 million daily readers) and headlines at their annual convention to an audience of over 5,000.
Beats and rhymes about the nerdy stuff we like. Holla.
