  • Nerdcore North with Chadley

    May 19, 2013

    Nerdcore North is back with another monthly update of nerdcore and nerd-friendly hip hop coming straight outta Canada, and the turn around time is quicker on this one thanks to a fast response time from this month’s spotlight artist, nerdcore rapper and Nerdcore Meow founder Chadley J. Fox. In fact, Chadley pretty much dominates the column this month as two of the three releases out in April were ...

    Wow, this column is coming late this month Still, Nerdcore North returns with a sixth instalment summing up what was released in nerdcore and nerd-friendly hip hop in Canada for the month of March, including a few new releases from Backburner, an emo D-Sisive video, and a creative contest entry video from MC Escher.

    While many of today’s superstar rappers seem to put great value on autonomy, hip-hop was borne in community.  Poverty, hard life, tight families, and close-knit neighborhoods were ubiquitous in the culture that invented hip-hop, and that legacy is felt to this day. Even as the pendulum begins to leave the opposite end of the spectrum–with wealth, club clout, and self-centrism having ...

    Nerdcore North is back with another monthly update of the best in Canadian nerdcore and nerd-friendly hip hop, but unfortunately February was yet another slow month for releases so I’m playing rather fast and loose with my definition of nerdy music to present a couple of new albums for the month of February. Also fitting for the month with Valentine’s Day, both videos are touching tear-jerke...

    It’s been very quiet on this side of the Atlantic since my last update in December leaving me with very little to report over the cold winter months. But spring is upon us, the sun is doing its best to shine and details of gigs in the UK are beginning to surface.   MC Lars MC Lars UK tour dates Making his annual jaunt to the U.K. Lars will once again be playing all three dates at The Slam D...

    Due to a lazy holiday season and a slow month for releases in January, Nerdcore North skipped a month, so for this fourth installment I look at the nerdy hip hop audio and video released in the months of December of last year and January of this one. Plus, I get way more than I bargained for from Nursehella, who came close to matching the marathon Q&A sessions I’ve had with (separately, of c...

    December 16, 2012

    For the third installment of Nerdcore North, I talk with Backburner’s More Or Les, who released a superb concept album about food earlier this year and should be dropping a video for his serious sugar song, “Big Sugar,” before the year is out. And as usual, I run through the Canadian nerdcore music and videos released in the month of November. Perhaps it’s the approach of winter but, f...

    December 14, 2012

    Word to the nerd!  It’s looking increasingly likely that this column is going to wind up being monthly as other commitments both online and off are prohibiting me from taking the time out for the fun side projects at the moment. Should time become more readily available then I’ll revert to the weekly updates.   Bon Voyage, Ghettosocks   As previously posted in the news section, ...

    In case you were too busy levelling your dark elf enough to defeat the Randy Savage that destroyed your village, here is the compilation from the first Vocalist/Producer Challenge (VPC for brevity’s sake).  Go ahead, and take a listen–it’s not like you need to pause an article. “Excuse me, my good man, but can I interest you in some nerdcore hip-hop?” Now that we’...

    November 20, 2012

    The second installment of Nerdcore North takes a look at the Canadian nerdcore music and videos released in October – with the exception of Coins, which was released in September but was missed in last month’s column – and the artist spotlight is on The Garthim-Master, whose Ghosts of Nostalgia album of last year was probably the purest nerdcore album to come out of Canada yet. Artist Spotli...
