Christopher Brendan Ward IV (born September 2, 1975), better known by the stage name MC Chris (stylized in all lower case),[4] is an American rapper, voice actor, comedian, and writer. He is recognized for his high-pitched voice and for blending his "geek” background with a “gangsta rap” persona, leading to the popularization of the nerdcore genre originally pioneered by MC Frontalot.[5] He has released ten albums, five EPs, one re-release, and a tenth-anniversary edition of his recordings with the Lee Majors.
