Spoken Nerd's latest, 24 Carrot Dreams, self-produced and recorded with live instrumentation, is equal parts Dr. Octagon and Larry Norman—an ambitious genre-bending record that has spirituality at its center but isn't about to drink Michael W. Smith's Kool-Aid. In the midst of the Nationally proclaimed MUSIC CITY resides independent hip hop experimentalist SPOKEN NERD. SPoken Nerd has made a name for himself in his field of expertise with conceptual albums such as Too Real for Vision and The Lion, the fish and The Moustache as well as countless collaborations with artists such as Swordplay, Man of War, Listener, Red Cloud, 247, Bobby Exodus and many more. In an election where gangsters, thugs and pimps run the ballots Spoken Nerd campaigns a working man's ethic and goes to work as a Lyrical Lumberjack in a forest of paragraphs. !
