Episode 162 - MC Lars

Continuing our occasional trips into the hip hop genre, Greg interviews MC Lars on episode 162. Most people will probably know MC Lars from his songs that went viral (Download this Song & Hipster Girl). For a hip hop artist, MC Lars is well versed in punk and hardcore; he name drops Madball and Minor Threat on tracks and features punk vocalists from Chocking Victim and the Donnas on others. Greg and Lars discuss his introduction to punk rock, how his creative process differs on solo track versus collaborations, and how punk rock, DIY ethics has shaped his hip hop career. Lars has a number of connections to Rochester, NY including regular airplay on WBER, appearances at the Bug Jar, and collaborations with Rochester's legendary Worm Quartet. You can catch him at the Bug Jar on Tuesday, May 21st. Follo MC Lars on Instagram at @MC_Lars. For updates on the show, follow @HardcoreArchivePodcst and @EnterpriseHardcore.
