With titillating tracks more
infectious than a Sub7 Trojan horse, this most "awesomest beat
smith" and avid dictionary/thesaurus user is best known as MC Frontalot's
righteous remixer. Hailing from the land of Alexander Graham Bell, Wolverine
and Pamela Anderson, this thumping Canadian, with a name actually intended
for an unrealized boy band spoof in college, has been dubbed the Timbaland
of Nerdcore hip-hop here and in galaxies far, far away.
Creating crisp beats since
the mid-90s, a friend booted him up to MC Frontalot's songs around 1999,
which uploaded Spellah into overdrive. He sent the 'Godfather of Nerdcore'
an email and soon the two were concocting cutting collaborations online.
With the blessings of NAFTA, this Canadanian/US hip hop team has definitely
emerged at the forefront of nerdcore.
Spellah would call himself
a "beat smith" in a Vulcan nerve pinch, but "producer"
would come in a close second, especially of late as he has been cultivating
recording projects with/for other artists and vocalists. Trekking through
new compositions by the glow of his monitor, Spellah has found inspiration
from all genres of music, remixing songs to the point where the obvious
derivative of his immediate influences wouldn't be apparent. Basically,
this guy can get a thumping nerdcore beat out of Burt Bacharach.
Baddd Spellahh stands at the
intersection of Jay-Z and Steve JObs - an H to the Izzo Super OS hybrid
and a true hip hop maestro.
