Treat time my friends. While I mostly stick to my movie and TV show guns, I am also a true music lover. I listen to a bit of every genre and love new music. After watching the documentary Nerdcore Rising, I was turned on to the nerdcore rapper MC Frontalot. I highly recommend you watch Nerdcore Rising. It is truly a great look behind the scenes of an indie band, and an even better look at the immensely nerdy world of MC Frontalot.
Being a fan for close to a year now, I was happy to hear a new album was in the works. Zero Day is set to release April 6th, and for those who preorder it can also download it immediately at http://frontalot.com/index.php/?page=cd . With my copy soon to be in the mail and my digital download firmly on my hard drive, I am here to offer my take on Front’s newest work.
Zero Day is more solid of an album than any of Frontalot’s past work. Being a fan of rap or not, you are bound to enjoy this CD. Stand out tracks such as Jacquelyn Hyde, First World Problem, Spoiler Alert, and Better at Rapping really show Frontalot’s skill. Not only has his rapping improved greatly, but also his lyrical ability has show improvement. Also on Zero Day are a couple of LOL-worthy skits, notably one with John Hodgman of Apple commercial fame. These are seriously funny skits even after many plays.
Zero Day has its fair share of guests in and out of the nerdcore community as well. Nerdcore mainstays such as Schaffer the Darklord, YTCracker, and Beefy show up and make an impact. Also non nerdcore guests Ken Flagg, Sara Benincasa, Jane Silence, and Molly Hager add unique touches to the album.
MC Frontalot has made an amazingly enjoyable album with major playback and not a single must skip track. This is Frontalot at his best and this sets the bar for all nerdcore. I look forward to April 6th and I highly recommend buying the CD as soon as possible. If Nerdy is cool (and it is) that easily makes MC Frontalot the Nerdbassador to the non-nerd world.
