In October of 2004, he announced his resignation from Cartoon Network to the public on his blog to focus on his recording career (roughly halfway through the entry), but has said that he is willing to return to Williams Street when needed. He has since toured throughout the continental United States in an effort to expose all of America to the growing genre of nerdcore rap. mc chris encourages fans to mix his songs and play their own role in the growth of what is a relatively new genre. In January of 2006 mc chris was a nominee for Spin Magazine’s “Band of the Year” contest at Spin.com but after gaining an over 20% margin in his first round battle with Demander, the voting was shut down for maintenance and when it came back Demander was declared the winner. Chris makes an appearance on fellow rapper MC Lars’ album “The Graduate”, as a less than sociable college roomate on the track “The Roomate From Hell”. Chris is known for producing freestyle raps in his concerts. For instance, at a February 2006 show, he improvised a song about Katamari Damacy that was synchronized to the Katamari Damacy theme song. |
