THE SHOW

MC Hammersmith (posh West London’s leading freestyle rapper with over half a billion views online) presents his new show: “Ice Ice Nepo Baby”.

When MC Hammersmith turned 18, his parents (MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice) shockingly revealed he was adopted. His two famous dads helped him ascend to the top of the rap game. He now embarks on a quest to find his biological family, the only way he knows how: by performing an evening of improvised hip hop comedy based on audience suggestions.

Lightning-fast freestyle raps, explosively funny rhymes, and utterly captivating genealogical investigation. Featuring brand new routines for 2027!
