MICHAEL MYERZ - LECKER

09/26/2020

"Lecker" is the 27th release from Atlanta, GA based experimental hip hop artist Michael Myerz. “It is influenced by the german language hence the title of the album which means Tasty/delicious which this album is. Every song hits hard like a hammer, I wanted to be the white Jewish rapper who also rapped in German while mixing Hip-Hop with Pop and electronica as well. Nothing sounds like this, Avant-Gard more like Avant-GO HARD.” Lecker was produced by Seattle, WA based artist Damocles, a frequent collaborator of Myerz.

Michael Myerz started in 2011 and has since released over 25 albums. Although categorized as a rapper he transcends this label by blending genres of punk, metal, electronica, noise, pop and even country. People have compared him to the Edvard Munch of rap due to the absurdity and surrealism incorporated in his music. Further comparisons include rappers such as Aesop Rock, The Beastie Boys, and Kool Keith. Much of his inspiration draws influence from 90s music as a whole, whether that be traditional hip hop or underground acts such as Soul Coughing. He prides himself on being able to rap about anything and make songs about everything. Myerz has opened up for acts such as Nerdcore Rapper MC Chris, metal acts such as Captured! By Robots, and various other acts like Joe Jack Talcum of The Dead Milkmen. He has been featured on Adult Swim’s Live Stream William Street Swap Shop and has worked with John Dilworth, the creative mind behind Cartoon Networks’ “Courage The Cowardly Dog”. Michael Myerz is more than your average neighborhood rapper, he is a legacy in the making.
