Phillip Morris - Mister Morris
When I first saw this video I almost skipped right past it due to the cornball acting that it opens with, but I stuck with it and was rewarded with a tremendous beat and some surprisingly competent lyricism from an emcee I had never heard of before, Phillip Morris. Hailing from Chicago, Phillip's approach to rhyming mixes political content with punchlines, comic book references and grade school level vulgarity. Chuck D meets nerdcore, if you will. It's a unique style, to say the least, but Morris' technical skills make it work somehow.
I couldn't find a whole lot else from Phillip Morris. A couple of years ago he put out a song in defense of Edward and Elaine Brown, the New Hampshire couple that fought off federal agents for several months over a dispute with the IRS, called Real Patriot. The song itself is dope, and Morris' argument in their defense is reasonably sound, but the video itself is filled with more conspiracy theory references than an Alex Jones post. Here's the one other video I was able to find from Mr. Morris, a collaboration with fellow Chicago emcee Number 2:
