Who Is Penny the MC?

Who Is Penny the MC?

In this day and age, the hunger and thirst of inspiring music is what led to the concept and production of his music.  Journey with Penny the MC, born in the boogie down Bronx, New York, who for the last 9 years has been living in Phoenix, Arizona.  Recording and performing throughout the local hip hop circuit as a member of the Writers Guild, Penny the MC brings a unique blend of social, street and political insights through melodic productions from Slopfunkdust and Merk Haze.   

 In 2009, Penny released his first LP, the critically acclaimed "A PENNY FOR A THOUGHT.”   Both singles from the album "A Better World" and "The Last Real One," garnered radio spins on both 98.2 The Beat's “Rhyme & Reason” and Power 98.3's “The Pulse” shows.  

In 2012, Penny released a mixtape consisting of 11 freestyles that were released Every Friday for 11 weeks turning into what would officially become "Freestyle Fridays."  DJ DN3 mixed every freestyle and released the collection as the official “Freestyle Friday” mixtape.   


In 2014, Penny dropped his long awaited follow-up album, “You Can All Die Now,” (http://www.pennythegreat.bandcamp.com/) which is currently being featured on major music blog sites like 
Thisis50.com and VladTV.com, and his current single in rotation “Hotboxin” dropped on ITunes (https://itun.es/i6Bx7LS).  An accompanying “Hotboxin” video is posted on YouTube (http://youtu.be/8nl4U2lEcPw).

Citing that his ‘life is his music,’ Penny the MC is a force to be reckoned with on the mic, and his lyrics are comparable to the real East Coast-style lyricists of the past.  The culture is back…
