If there is one thing that amazes me, it’s an artist who can spit bars on point AND sing with a smooth, rich tone. Dr. Awkward, a Scrub Club Records signed nerdcore hip hop artist is a great example of such talent.
His first album, the “Next Gen” EP, astounded us in early 2009. One track in particular, “Geekuilibrium”, has been referred to (at least by us) as the 2009 Geek Anthem. Doc Awk, a Cali rapper, has a fun, entertaining presence both on stage and through his music. It was no surprise how many fans were in wait for his full-length album “Unlimited”, which was just released yesterday:
The album offers a variety of beats and hip hop/r&b styles, the title “Unlimited” a nice fit. Doc Awk has performed live on several occasions, even gracing the stage with other members of Scrub Club at Nerdapalooza 2009. Houston, Texas welcomed Dr. Awkward as he performed at the Joystix Arcade after Comicpalooza 2010 (an event which MC Router also performed at).
What’s next for the Dr.? Well, everyone would LOVE to see a performance at Nerdapalooza 2010, I’m sure. But so far, the next biggest step will be at Gen Con 2010 in Indianapolis this coming August. The “Nerdcore Entertainment Showcase” will also include other Scrub Club artists like Deafinition, King Pheenix, MadHatter and ZeaLouS1….as well as an appearance by the ninja hip hop group Krondor Krew.
So good luck Dr. Awkward, and congratulations on a GREAT album release. We look forward to more talent from both you and the rest of Scrub Club Records!
