MC 900 Ft. Jesus is the stage title of Mark Griffwithin, the classically-trained musician turned rapper & experimenter innate in Dallas, Texas. Griffon's act was swell ahead of its instance, & lot of his healthy & experimentation predates creative person rather Beck and Orbital.

Ingesting his MC title from either the sermon by Oral Roberts, Griffin's foremost album, Hell Using A Lid Off (1990) wwhen freed as "MC 900 Ft. Jesus With DJ Zero", however a presumptively lacking DJ Zero disappeared for the next 2 albums, Welcome To Our Dream (1991) & 1 Step Ahead of The Spider (1994). His music is influenced by hip-hop, incorporating many samples, however a lyrics come typically quite off-kilter & mordant.

"Hell With the Lid Off" involved a cult individual "Truth is Out of Style," the catchy caustic remark of postmodernist human's self indulgence. Griffon's wit & formal education facilitate produce completely of his function when MC 900 sense complex & humourous. His more cult hit, "If I Only Had a Brain," created the splash thanks to the videos directed by the immature Spike Jonze. Still, he is probably better known for the song "The City Sleeps," which explores the mind of a serial firebug.

Griffon's have of rap, electronica, & cool jazz (Griffon occurs as trumpeter, & between lyrics & beats he typically plays prefer Miles Davis) is mayhap a understanding he never achieved wide profits. MC 900 Foot Jesus is hard to define, existence absolutely "danceable," thought agitative, screaming, distressing, & genuinely musical 100% at a equivalent instance. Both album, & indeed for each one track on the albums, is unique, & the hodge-podge of styles may be off-putting to a casual hearer. An extended road hike & the slightly odd personality come required to appreciate Griffon's talent, however he is swell worth a effort.
