Mc Lars

hip-hop United States Website Spotify

Andrew Robert Nielsen, known professionally as MC Lars, is an American rapper, producer, educator, and founder of Horris Records. A graduate of Stanford University and the University of Oxford, he has been described as a pioneer of “lit-hop”, a genre blending hip-hop with themes from classical and American literature. In a 2003 song, he used the term “iGeneration”, which ASCAP credited as an early instance of the term. He has performed at venues including Carnegie Hall
and multiple TEDx events. His work frequently references authors like William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville, and he is considered a key figure in the early nerdcore movement.
