You might recognize MC Chris’ voice from his cameo on Adult Swim’s “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” where his high-pitched whine was lent to Sir Loin, the philanthropic rapper who did it for the shorties. Such an appearance might seem strange for your average emcee, but it fits perfectly with Chris’ nerd panache. Spitting humorous rhymes about video games, “Star Wars” and candy, he’ll have you nodding your head even while you grab your sides.

It’s not all fun and games, however, as the vertically challenged New Yorker reaches some genuinely difficult cadences and ingeniously crafted choruses on his journey to nerd-rap supremacy.
