Uncool Laurence (@UncoolLaurence) – Laid Off Nigga Rap
My name is Uncool Laurence (pronounced Uncle Laurence), an up and coming rap artist from Los Angeles. I picked the name Uncool Laurence means a number of things; one, I’ve been an uncle since the age of 5. Two, because of the common misconception that I’m a nerd cause of my unique, well spoken, demeanor, and lastly cause my overall message is to do you and not focus on conformity. My goal as an MC is bring substance and lyricism back to the game, but still have enough mass appeal and charm to not be classified as strictly underground. My biggest influences are Kanye West, Redman, J. Cole, and Ghostface Killah. To solidify my lyrical skills, I won KING Magazine’s monthly “Gotta Win” contest three times.
Aside from my music grind, I worked in the corporate world for the past 9 years. After getting I laid off for an unknown reason, I put life into perspective and pursue my music again. That struggle helped me craft an 8-track EP, The Wave, and the following track, Laid Off Nigga Rap.
