With Jace’s Mortal Kombat music video about to hit the 20 million view mark, on one of the most popular hip-hop websites on the planet, it’s clear that Nerdcore is no longer an unknown genre.

In fact, there are a number of artists who continue to popularize the genre, all while making each song into their own. We’re taking the opportunity to give fans more insight into the world of Nerd music, in a way that only the artists themselves can reveal.

Dr. Awkward, a.k.a Doc Awk, is the Next Gen Hip Hop artist hailing from San Diego, California. His hits include “Geekquilibrium” and “Impostor” dating back to his first solo album, Next Gen, in 2009. He has shared bills with prominent Nerdcore rappers: MC Frontalot, MC Lars, and Mega Ran, to name a few.

Until next time keep rockin’
