There is a M-F newspaper in Tampa Bay called the TBT (Tampa Bay Times). funky49 was pimped in the TBT on Friday, 20 March! It was on page 42 (that’s like a blessing from Douglas Adams). I always love a reference between me and the Beastie Boys!

Here is the text from the article:

Nerdcore is alive and well in Tampa!

funky49, a.k.a. Steven Rush of Temple Terrace, was once mentioned in a Wired article about hip-hop that caters to computer programmers and other proud geeks. He recently released Rapbassador, a digital album about the Tampa Museum of Science and Industry. You’d roll your eyes at the sheer geekiness of it — “Wait a sec, let your eyes focus/ you’re face to face with a diplodocus!” — if only funky49’s Beasties-esque dance-rap wasn’t so tight. “If I can have fun and draw some attention to Tampa’s MOSI,” Rush said, “it is a win.” funky49.com.
