The purpose of this is site is to write about what we love! We all still collect comics, movies, games and collectibles. We’re able to write from the perspective of the average unbiased fan, because we ARE those fans.

The term “Nerd Up” originally started out as a reoccurring joke. Often when referring to something geeky, we would end our sentences with an affectionate “Nerd Up”. It’s stuck around this long, so when coming up with a name for the site, Nerd Up fit perfectly!

With two indie albums under his belt and world wide DJ chart attention for his debut single “Royal Flush”, Anonymous Twist is back with a top notch single on Toronto’s premiere “to the left” tastemaking label, Do Right! Music. The haunting headnodder “Sweet Sixteen” featuring well-known Bay Area MC, Planet Asia (Cali Agents, Stones Throw) and the catchy and bouncy B-side “Respect That” are essential to any hip hop enthusiast”s collection.

At a time when rap is more about the flash and less about the rhyme, it”s refreshing to hear insightful yet hard-hitting slices of hip hop. Anonymous Twist delivers the straight goods using his technical and creative merit rather than relying on shock value. Twist is the master multi-tasker: he’s behind the board, on the cut and spitting on the mic. “Sweet Sixteen” is a stormer of a tune with an interesting concept. The title refers to the standard number of bars a verse will stretch for in a hip hop song. It is typically how a rapper is measured, what they do in those 16 bars. If this is the case then both Asia and Twist’s verses should be off the scale! This stone cold killer with it’s heavy and dirty bassline, and an eerie Theremin inspired melody serve as a tasty background for Planet Asia to drop his ill 16 bar verse about life, death and spirituality. Twist comes in without missing a beat, keeping the necksnapping vibe going and complementing Asia perfectly, ensuring this track’s status as a rewind certainty.

“Respect That” is the chunky beat driven monster of a B-side with A.T. kicking lyrics in his clear baritone voice and smooth yet well-enunciated and distinctive flow. He spits about different facets of hip hop and building respect and likens the artform to literally developing a structure brick by brick.

Anonymous Twist is currently working on his second album which will include collabos with top-notch artists like Sean Price (Heltah Skeltah, Boot Camp Click), Oh No (Stones Throw) and more. If “Respect That” and “Sweet Sixteen” are any indication of the dopeness to come, then expect big tidal waves from this artist who has a true understanding of hip hop culture: the roots of the artform, and a vision for taking it into the future.
