MC Hammersmith is a multi-award winning hip hop comedian. He is the world’s leading rapper to ever emerge from the ghetto of middle class west London.
In his live shows, MC Hammersmith performs improvised hip hop comedy. He is a freestyle rapper – meaning he raps spontaneously, unscripted, with absolutely no preparation. The lyrics and rhymes of his raps are 100% improvised and based entirely on audience suggestions. In this guise he has won numerous comedy awards, sold out multiple consecutive runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and supported Jason Manford on his arena tour of the UK.
His scripted hip hop comedy tracks have gone viral on numerous platforms, most notably racking up 100 million views on TikTok. Having started releasing videos during the first COVID-19 lockdown, he now boasts nearly a million followers across social media. He is also an improvisational comedian in some of the world’s biggest touring improv shows – he can frequently be spotted improvising with Shamilton and Baby Wants Candy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
In addition to this, he is a writer for acclaimed YouTube series Epic Rap Battles of History. He credits his vocal health to Vocalzone, and the fact that he now warms up his voice before shouting raps.

Let’s see what MC Hammersmith has to say about Vocalzone!
‘I used to lose my voice every Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Experts would tell me this was because I was shouting an hour of raps every day for a month, but what do they know? I then started steaming my voice, doing a proper vocal warm-up, and then – the cherry on the cake – sucking a Vocalzone just before walking onstage. This dizzying three-point plan of puff, prepare, and pastille was an immediate gamechanger. I now never lose my voice from performing, and Vocalzones are an indispensable part of my vocal care routine. Thanks Vocalzone! I like the purple ones!’
