MDC - THE ARTIST

MDC (Matt Chua) had always been a determined individual since his beginnings in the world of Hip-Hop. Four other artists along with himself formed a group known as the MC Army and put out a mixtape that had such an amatuer vibe many never acknowledged the newcomers. For Chua, this was his opportunity to show his talents as a producer/emcee as he produced everything on the mixtape and featured on a few tracks. He decided he would try to work on his own mixtape that slowly morphed into a debut album called "Just A Glimpse." Heavily influenced by Eminem's work, MDC focused on keeping emotions raw and subject matters close to home. The response was different than what Chua had anticipated originally as the public felt the young emcee had something to offer but was unpolished. He disappeared for two years crafting every aspect of his flow and finally came out with the cleverly titled "Curse Of The 2s." Keeping with the same concept as his first album, MDC delivered an amazing performance. Though remarks and critiques came from both sides of the spectrum, he was pleased because of what he had wanted to accomplish. Finally, MDC decided to create a concept album titled "Be Easy." He vowed he would not have any of his seriousness or explicit language appear on this album. Now labeled as what many feel could be his best work since, "Be Easy" became an instant hit by becoming his first internet only album. The response was overwhelmingly positive and this is what finally pushed the momentum in his favor. He performed in every venue possible, giving the audience a show that would be unmatchable by his peers and competition. Established as a great entertainer and on his way to becoming a credible emcee, MDC has pushed his way repeatedly into the spotlight and showing the world what he is capable of.
