“Nerdcore Rising: The Movie” is a new documentary directed by Negin Farsad about MC Frontalot and the rapidly emerging geek hip hop music genre Nerdcore.
Nerdcore hip hop is a sociological phenomenon born out of the internet and made possible by computer-obsessed geeks. Nerdcore Rising follows MC Frontalot – the “Godfather of Nerdcore” – on his first national tour to reveal both the roots of the genre and the dorky complexities of its artists. Featuring Weird Al Yankovic, MC Chris, MC Lars, Brian Posehn, Jello Biafra, Daily Show Folks, and a slew of other artists and commentators.
