MC Pigpen

You could read this about MC Pigpen, one of Smashbash's 2011 artists to tear it up!!

MC Pigpen is rapidly becoming a name in the world of underground hip-hop that you should remember.  Having been on five tours in the last 2 years and pushing his music from coast to coast, it’s clear that MC Pigpen isn’t about to slow down anytime soon.
MC Pigpen has a full length album out with the “Rek CenterAll-Stars” and a full length solo album titled “Swine Sampler”.  The emcee is also working on a full album with  SLC local Pat Maine, which will be released this winter.
 Over his lengthy decade long career, MC Pigpen has had the opportunity to not only share the stage with many of the greats and legends in the hip-hop world but also tour with them as well. Having been on stage withthe likes of KRS-One, WU-Tang Clan, and the Hieroglyphics and having toured with Josh Martinez, Ugly Duckling, One Belo, and a U.S. Tour with Edo G and Masta Ace.
MC Pigpen has been showcased at the annual SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas and has played a variety of shows to consistently put his name out there over the last year.
The emcee who was born and raised in Denver, Colorado but now resides in Salt Lake City, Utah when he isn’t touring, by no means lacks what it takes to be one of the best. Having the ability to produce witty yet lyrical stories through his words while still keeping it raw and fun at the same time.
