Rap Master Maurice

Who is Rap Master Maurice?

Rap Master Maurice, is an American artist, known for his revenge raps, based in Seattle. Rap Master Maurice is a character portrayed by artist Derek Erdman.

The revenge rap concept is as follows: if you have an incident or a problem with another person, you can pay Rap Master Maurice twelve dollars, and he will write a rap about your issue. Then he will deliver the rap in a phone call.

Rap Master Maurice was created when a friend of Erdmans was having a personal issue with a co-worker. Erdman was asked to give the co-worker a warning, which Erdman considered too threatening. Consequentially Erdman decided "perhaps i would do it in rap form".

Erdman pursued the Rap Master Maurice act because he wanted to be more "service oriented" and "live off the things [he] made and not have to have another job".

Erdman has appeared as Rap Master Maurice, on Chicago's CAN TV musical television show Chic-a-Go-Go and on a track of the Ohio noise band SLOTH / MAMMOTH split 7".

Erdman has appeared as himself discussing Rap Master Maurice, on Fuel TV, WireTap, and Outside The Loop Radio in Chicago.
