About

While countless rappers claim to be hardcore, no one can top Necro, the multi-talented artist responsible for some of the sickest rhymes ever committed to wax. The Brooklyn-born rap murderer has released many underground classics, and lent his top-notch production skills to other subterranean heavy-hitters like Non Phixion and Cage. His tracks are brutal slices of graphic terror, served with heaping helpings of blood-drenched gore, sadistic sexploits, and gruesome junkie tales. In addition to his mastery of the mic and beats alike, he also runs his own label Psycho+Logical Records, and has made two acclaimed and controversial films, 187 Reasons Y and The Devil made Me Do It. Necro's first CD I Need Drugs, released in 2000, is a collection of his singles, EPs, and freestyles. In 2001 he dropped his first studio LP, Gory Days. For fans of twisted, mad-genius lyricism and dangerously hot tracks, it gets no better than this.
