Nerdcore Hiphop is a demo album by MC Frontalot, which first gave a name to the nerdcore genre, as well as the name of a song on that album. Because it was only released via the internet, the track listing is unordered, and includes tracks released from 1999 until his first commercial album, Nerdcore Rising , in 2005. The songs are therefore listed here in the order of which they were released. [1] All listed songs are freely available for download through his website along with several remixes, mostly by Song Fight! regulars.
