MC 900 Ft. Jesus is the stage name of Mark Griffin, a Dallas-based rapper born in 1957 and a classically trained musician, which goes some way toward explaining why his records sound like nothing else in hip-hop. He folds jazz into the beats and fills the verses with socially conscious storytelling, delivered in a cool, unhurried voice that feels more like a late-night radio host than a battle MC.
Welcome to My Dream, on I.R.S. Records in 1991, carried "The City Sleeps", a creepy, jazz-shadowed slow burn that became his calling card on rock radio's alternative countdowns. One Step Ahead of the Spider followed in 1994 with "If I Only Had a Brain". A true oddball, and a welcome one.
