World renowned  post-punk laptop rapper MC Lars has launched his very own label Horris Records to help build and nurture the growing indie rap scene. As he explains, “The goal with Horris is to help as many talented, like-minded, DIY / punk culture-based indie rappers have as many self-sustained careers as possible”.  To launch the label,  MC Lars has  enlisted close friend, Weerd Science (a.k.a. Josh Eppard, ex-Coheed &Cambria/current drummer for rock band Terrible Things) to release the imprints first record, _SICK KIDS_. The album was released on May 17th.

Weerd Science may make the “artist introduction”,  but Lars will be releasing a mixtape in June as a “label introduction,” featuring KRS-ONE, SAGE FRANCIS, GRIEVES, SOLE, MC FRONTALOT, RITTZ, SCROOBIUS PIP, WEERD SCIENCE… and his father. “The mixtape is the first in whatI hope to be a series of free projects that highlight the diversity and my ability to network within our subgenre of rap,” he says. “All of the rappers featured are people I reached out to directly and they all bring a different take to my ‘post-punk laptop rap’ style. The project features a bunch of collabs, including one with my dad, a California poet and spoken word artist known as MC BOB NIELSEN.”
