Best Hip-Hop MC: Hot Sauce Nashville has a small but eager-to-be-heard community of unsigned rap artists waiting for a shot while performing at the few local venues that book hip-hop acts. One standout is MC Hot Sauce, who, as the members of local outfit Utopia State were heard to exclaim, is “real hip-hop.” Too many sucker MCs believe the road to fame is to mimic the style and image of whatever rapper currently tops the charts. Hot Sauce impresses without artifice—no “ice,” no entourage, just beats and tight rhymes.

Bio
Hot Sauce
Hot Sauce was introduced to hip hop music at an early age and was immediately hooked on the energy, boldness, and originality of the music. Somewhere between then and present day, it has become more about glorifying a lifestyle that no one lives for very long without consequence. Raised on both coasts and finally settling in the middle of everything, he was influenced by everyone from Slick Rick to Steely Dan, A Tribe Called Quest to Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder to The Winans. From his first release 12" "Heat" (produced by and featuring long time friend Count Bass D) to being voted Nashville’s Top Hip Hop MC 2002 by the Nashville Scene, to present day, Hot Sauce has remained synonymous with Nashville's underground scene and is hard at work on his soon to be released LP "Stand Up Music". Hot Sauce combines old school experience with the originality of rap's golden era and that hard hitting boom-bap to remind hip hop of what it's been missing.
Enjoy.
