NMM #19: LEX the Lexicon Artist

07/19/18 • 62 min

Here's an episode of the Nerd Music Meltdown, recorded twelve hours after Ongaku Overdrive's NEXGEN, featuring LEX the Lexicon Artist! (@lextheconartist)

LEX grew up in Taipei, Taiwan and emigrated to America in 2012. While getting her degree in Psychology at UC Berkeley, she decided to pursue a career in music. While a newcomer to nerdcore hip hop, LEX got the entire scene’s attention in 2017 with her first EP, LEX is More and recently just released Raging Ego to rave reviews.

Kent and LEX briefly talk about her origins, representing women in her raps, her upcoming tour with mc chris and Dual Core, and her latest album Raging Ego. LEX has risen quickly to the top of nerdcore in a such a short time. What are her secrets to success? We talk all about that too.

Also, LEX teams up with Schaffer the Darklord in this dope music video for Why We Do, which will be on Vince Vandal's FNFII: Advance Friends and Fandoms, which is available for pre-order! Check out LEX the Lexicon Artist at thelexiconartist.com.

On this episode of the Nerd Music Meltdown, Kent (@fistofthemfk) interviews special guest O_Super (@osuperwins). O is part of the new generation of nerdcore hip hop, breaking into the Orlando nerd music community around the same time as past NMM guests EyeQ and Mag.Lo. He's also the music director of CEO Gaming!

O_Super has a poetic, lo-fi take when it comes to his raps and we talk about that, his lifetime around music, CEO Daytona, his friendship with Alex Jebailey, and new music he's got coming up this year!

NMM #20: Crunk Witch

A new episode of the Nerd Music Meltdown to kick off 2019! Kent got some work in at MAGFest including a couple podcast interviews. We have one with the electro pop duo, Crunk Witch! (@crunkwitch)

We had Brandon and Hannah last September for the Professor Shyguy and Kit birthday show and they blew everyone away. We talk about what it's like to be a married couple that makes music together and tours constantly, falling into the nerd music community, and what goes into putting together their live shows, music, and their fabulous fashion choices.

Crunk Witch is currently on tour and they will be at The Geek Easy this Saturday on January 12th with MagiTek and Under Polaris. We'll be there too! Check out Crunk Witch at crunkwitch.bandcamp.com.
