Paul Nathaniel Barman better known as MC Paul Barman (born October 30, 1974, in Ridgewood, New Jersey) is a Jewish- American emcee from Ridgewood, New Jersey, who attended Brown University.[1]
"Enter Pan-Man," from his self-produced 7-inch Postgraduate Work (Househusband Records, 1998), attracted the attention of Prince Paul, and the two collaborated, releasing the It's Very Stimulating EP in 2000 on Wordsound. Paullelujah! followed in late 2002, with production by Prince Paul, MF DOOM, MikeTheMusicGuy and Phofo. He has appeared on records with Deltron 3030 and Masta Ace, and has toured with Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Blackalicious. In film he made a cameo in the 2008 Michel Gondry film Be Kind Rewind and in the same year narrated the satirical political short Because Washington is Hollywood for Ugly People.[2] While Barman is culturally Jewish, religiously he is an atheist.[3] He also performs regularly on tracks by DJ Yoda.
