Chicago-based MC Serengeti is not your typical MC. Combining a vast range of topics, musical styles, comedy, even characters into his rhymes, Serengeti will hit you with the funniest rhyme you've ever heard one minute, then come back with some serious talk that will leave you thinking twice about what he just said.
Possessing an off-the-cuff absurdity that stacks up against that of MF Doom, Serengeti uses his strange Chicago upbringing (Communist activist mother, suburban father) to produce an equally bizarre, moving and witty walk through day-to-day life channeled through the hip-hop culture he knows and loves so well. Named after, of all people, Brian Dennehy, Serengeti's latest melds his blunted and distinct flow with all sorts of unconventional, yet head-noddable beatscapes. Whether musing on the b-movie Critters or talking about his iPod, Serengeti is easily one of the most unique MC's to appear out of any scene in a good number of years.
