MC Paul Barman is a hip hop MC from Ridgewood, New Jersey, who attended Brown University.
"Enter Pan-Man," from his self-produced 7-inch Postgraduate Work (Househusband Records, 1998), attracted the attention of Prince Paul, and the two collaborated, releasing the It's Very Stimulating EP in 2000 on Wordsound. Paullelujah! followed in late 2002, with production by Prince Paul, MF Doom, MikeTheMusicGuy and Phofo. He has appeared on records with Deltron 3030 and Masta Ace, and has toured with Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Blackalicious. One of his most memorable works was the song “Housemate Troubles,” released on Matador Records, a scathing commentary on the modern social pressures of co-habitation.
MC Paul Barman is considered a nerdcore MC, though he himself eschews such labeling.
