MC 900ft Jesus isn’t like other rappers.  There’s none of the usual dull subject matter, nor is there anything approaching the delivery you’d expect; he’s mellow and understated.  He sounds more like a narrator telling a story, although there’s usually the sense that he’s not being entirely serious.  The 4 mixes here are a bit unnecessary, but it’s much better than having none.

If you want more, his wonderful first album (with DJ Zero) Hell With The Lid Off isn’t hard to find, and you can download a 1992 live set from his facebook page.
