Optimus Rhyme is a hip hop quartet from Seattle, Washington, occasionally aided by Rapper Broken English. Optimus Rhyme combines rapped hip hop lyrics with a fusion of Funk-Rock music. They are considered nerdcore hip hop because their lyrics re-tell the story of the Transformers Generation 1 series mixed with their views on the commercial music industry and modern society, which has earned them performances at the Penny Arcade Expo. The name Optimus Rhyme is based on a Transformers character (Optimus Prime), as are all of the band’s stage names.
Wheelie Cyberman – Vocals
Broken English – Guest Vocals
Powerthighs – Guitars
Stumblebee – Bass
Grimrock – Drums
Galaxion Waxspin – DJ (former mbr)
Thundercracker – Drums (former mbr)

Story

The year was 2000. The Wackacons had invaded the Emerald City. Parties grew listless and nightclubs suffered greatly under the Wackacons’ ever-growing influence. Repetitive loop manufacturers, lackluster DJs and angst-filled metal pushers aligned with the Wackacons and quickly flourished in our once-great city. It was later that year when fate brought four independently minded Autobeat technicians together. Instantly, their positronic brainpaths fused. Within weeks, laid-back progressive hip-hop beats were mixed with brutally brain-teasing rhymes

***** its nerdcore….its funny as hell though. Wheelie Cyberman reminds me of Del (Heiro and Deltron 3030). I loved The Transformers when i was a kid so i had to get this. I expected nothing and was pleasantly surprised. So now i bring to you…
