MC Lars - Lars & In Charge

In an age when Kanye West would rather rant at people than relate to them, and Jay Z is more concerned with selling overpriced clothing, and new cell phones, than crafting meaningful music, it's refreshing to come across an artist like MC Lars.

With an almost cult-like following thanks to his history as one of the originators of Nerdcore, and as a current progenitor of lit-hop, Lars has a fan base that's both large, and extremely dedicated. Lars, in turn, is extremely dedicated to his fans, not just in the sense of making music for them, but in the personal connection he maintains with them, often staying late after shows just to make sure everyone who wants to say hello has the opportunity.

This week, MC Lars said hello to us, as we had the chance to sit down him to discuss everything from the children's project he's been working on (it involves hip-hop puppets!), to his current feelings on the term Nerdcore, to the friends and memories he made while being a part of this year's Warped Tour.
