Wow, nerdcore by a real life black person! Who would've thought. This video/song comes from the perspective of Balrog, and is called Gigaton Punch. It's actually pretty good, and I certainly recommend it for anyone who likes nerdcore hip hop. The artist is Turbo - hopefully we'll get to hear more from him in the future. I suspect that this is the same guy, given the nerd-oriented content and vocal tone. Thanks to GekigangerV on the MMC BBS for the link.

Update: I got a note from the creator, Terrell (AKA Turbo), who apparently hails from Southern California, and has a full mixtape here. I got a complaint (not from him) about labeling this nerdcore, which may be true - it's basically hip hop with nerdy themes. Fair enough, given that in the mixtape, only a few songs have that sort of content (such as 'Buy You a Zune', or 'Finals Week'). Apparently he's thinking about doing another song about a Street Fighter character - no word on who though!
