Critical Praise For Erk Tha Jerk:

"Nerd’s Eye View will likely be remembered as one of the definitive Bay Area albums of the post-Hyphy era... Not only is it the best debut album since Mistah F.A.B.’s Son of a Pimp, but it might just change perceptions of Bay Area rappers: namely, that they can’t make hit songs." – Oakland Local.


The Video:


A little over a month after the release of his debut album, Nerd's Eye View, Bay Area emcee Erk Tha Jerk has been certified as a Clear Channel "New! Artist To Watch," providing tangible evidence of Erk's rising popularity and widespread acclaim. As a result of his new title, his profile has been posted on the websites of 50 radio stations across the country including KISS, Power 105 and more, including regular supporter and Bay Area powerhouse 106 KMEL.

Coinciding with this event is the release of his new video for "Ha Ha," a track from the record featuring London, who provides the song's infectious hook. Shot by Clay & Magz in collaboration with Erk, who handles direction for all of his own videos, the clip shows Erk and London living the good life, lounging at bars and cruising the streets in high end cars while London's vocals marinate over the beat's smooth instrumentation and heavy drums. "Laughing at all of my haters/ Watching my shine, climbing up to the top" sings London, while Erk shares his own confidence with lines like, "This is something I was born with, you cannot inherit that."

The Background:


Debunking the stereotype of what a West Coast rapper should be is what got a very fickle hip-hop audience to initially notice Erk. His streetwear heavy fashion sense, trademark black eyeglasses and hood nerd persona all worked in his favor. Being from a “bad place” yet knowing that there are non-hood things out there is what has shaped Erk’s approach to life and music. “I went to college for a couple years, I’ve worked 9 to 5 jobs and I’ve sold weed and none of those things quite worked out so I’m kinda like a hood nerd.” His satirical anti-hyphy anthem "I'm So Dumb" and "Plane in the Air" featuring Too $hort defined him as an artist but it was 2009's "Right Here" that put him on the map. The censored version became one of 106 KMEL's (San Francisco) most played songs, charted on Billboard's Top 100 Hip Hop/R&B, and the video is currently in rotation on MTV Jams. In addition to producing and directing videos for other artists, Erk is currently working on his first full length album titled Nerd’s Eye View due on November 9th.
