The Graduate by MC Lars
The Graduate is an album by MC Lars, released in 2006. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Download this Song”, on 2 lists with a best position of #25.
The Graduate, MC Lars's fourth full-length album, came out on March 21, 2006 through Horris and Nettwerk, with Mike Sapone doing most of the production and Christopher Rojas, Ill Bill, Oli Horton, Q-Unique, Steve Dawson and the Rondo Brothers helping out. The guest list runs deep: A Scholar and a Physician, Ill Bill, Jaret Reddick, MC Chris, Piney Gir and the Matches.
Lars, the Stanford and Oxford graduate who's been called a pioneer of "lit-hop", raps like the smartest kid in the back row over punchy, guitar-flecked beats, and song titles like "Signing Emo" tell you he has the scene in his sights. "Signing Emo", "Download This Song" and "Ahab" were the singles, and "Download This Song" reached 29 on the Australian singles chart, while "Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock" did its own damage on the countdowns.
