The market for joke Rap groups has run dry lately. Paul Barman did his thing, Northern State did theirs (wait, were they serious?), and some of us were lucky enough to bask in the hilarity of Party Fun Action Committee. However, if you’re thirsty from something new, brazen, and potentially drenched in Sake, you should check out the Notorious MSG. Their raps are completely irreverent, self-effacing, and rife with cliché (as most joke rap should be!). Imagine if the Beastie Boys had been raised on dim sum and Sonny Chiba flicks, then sprinkle in a little 80s R n’ B for effect and you’re ready to wok. Their debut album “Heavy Ghetto” was released on May 24th, don’t miss their CD release party at Brooklyn Bowl on June 10th. – BrokeMC
