In 2006, Rapcat was rocketed to worldwide fame with his appearance in the now-famous Checkers/Rally’s TV commercial.
The most skilled cat-
rapper on the scene today – and some say, the most skilled
rapper of any species.
Rapcat’s got a
flow that cannot be matched, honed in the streets and alleys of his hometown, Jersey City. In the tradition of the greatest East Coast rappers, Rapcat writes all his own lyrics.
Almost since he was a
kitten, Rapcat was hustling his mixtapes on the street and in the parking lot of Checkers, his favorite hangout. His underground cred, already strong, skyrocketed when he got sent off to the St. Louis Home for Delinquent Felines, for the “crime” of dealing catnip. (Which is legal, but we all know no jury’s gonna give a cat a fair trial.)
While in “The Cage,” Rapcat perfected a tougher rhyme style. Once a week he’d squeeze through the
bars and sneak over to Rally’s. He would bring some burgers back for himself, and some to trade with the other cats for
balls of yarn and recording equipment.
By the
time he got out for good behavior, Rapcat’s first full-length album was complete. His tales of
hard livin’ on the streets form the
core of “Look What I Dragged In,” already a bootleg classic.
