Mr. Metaphor aka Marc Bars
Mr. Met aka Marc Bars, a native New York City born musician raised in Park Slope Brooklyn was introduced to the culture of hip hop in the mid 80’s. The half French and half Jewish MC came up battling on street corner ciphers and local Mc competitions on a mission to prove himself. Met attended LaGuardia “Fame” high school of the performing arts as a vocal major in the late 80’s and began searching for a path to follow in music. As a concert pianist in the 50’s, Met’s grandmother was a big inspiration and attribution to his natural ability to play keys and produce music. Big Daddy Kane was Met’s first influence to writing rhymes. Kane said “you could put wings on your tongue and still couldn’t say nothing fly” and met thought it was the most genius thing he had ever heard. After he heard that line, met sacrificed every minute of his day thinking of clever punch lines, metaphors, and wordplay to show off to the neighborhood hip hop heads. This is where the name “Mr. Metaphor” was born. He started calling radio stations like Martin Moore and DJ Meham, Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito and began making a local buzz for himself. After internal conflict with his first group “SUB 4”, met decided to accept the invite from the other local Park Slope group making noise “Zooty Zoo”, and joined forces with Building Block (Block McCloud) and Will Tell. The 3 artists formed the group Word A Mouth and went on to be featured on the Lyricist Lounge Volume 1 album hosted by De La Soul. This Album opened up an audience to Mr. Met so detrimental to his success today. Soon the legendary Pumpkinhead, another Park Slope native MC came into the picture and the chemistry between the artists was like none other. They formed the Brooklyn Academy and went on to release a number of independently released records that topped college radio, billboard and dance charts.
Met has toured all over the world and countless cities up and down the east coast and the Midwest. Met is a highly respected artist. He is your favorite artist’s favorite artist. His witty lines, advanced flows, bi-lingual raps, and incomparable ability to write a song separates him from the over saturation of mc’s in the hip hop game. He is a true professional song composer made for the entertainment business.
Today Mr. Metaphor aka Marc Bars has joined forces with the Lyricist Lounge as both an artist and Live Event/ Tour organizer. He has also recently signed a deal with Rawkus Records and is part of the Rawkus 50. Mr. Met is co-signed by many respected brands and is on the verge of becoming that next artist in the spotlight.
