Dawn of the Skinny White Boy

What's up, Careful Eugenicists! My name's Karl, and if you look into the archives of this publication far enough, you might find some posts by me. No matter; all you need to know is that I'm a peer of Paul's, and Rap Royalty.

Ever since I was born, I have had a deep love and appreciation for hip-hop culture, as well as a difficult-to-pronounce Eastern European last name. These coalesced at some point in my early teen years, and I became known as MC G-Rock (G-Rock being a close approximation of my surname's pronunciation). I rapped and rapped, but didn't record anything until 2008 or 2009 when a friend helped produce some tracks; those songs are fan favourites, but my skill has far surpassed them since.

Then, in the early days of 2011, I finalised a setup that made me self-sufficient: USB turntable, microphone, keyboards, and bare-bones sound editing software. I had never stopped writing and creating, and now I could put something out there on my own timetable: Dawn of the Skinny White Boy, a five-track EP of new material.

You'll hear (unauthorised) shoutouts from the likes of NPR great Terry Gross, as well as Republican harpy Christine O'Donnell. I take an amazing beat that was saddled with horrendously unimaginative and misogynistic rhymes, and commandeer it into the service of certified dopeness. I sample Sharon Jones' blistering backup band the Dap-Kings, as well as the treble-blasting darlings of 2010, Sleigh Bells. Capping it all off, I included a reenactment of a completely true story from the annals of my college years, because every rap album needs a skit or other filler you delete immediately or listen to once!

I invite everyone to visit my sparsely populated Soundcloud page. There you can stream each of Dawn of the Skinny White Boy's five tracks, and download them free of charge. All I ask is that I be credited and praised undyingly. You can also become a fan on Facebook, where you'll find an embarrassingly small amount of fans from around the world.
