Oscar Alston

Oscar Alston (born Marvin Joseph Cooley Pritt, Jr.), better known as MC Girthy, was an American wannabe-British grime rapper originally from New York. He lived in South Carolina for most of his life, but claimed that he recorded all of his songs in a recording studio on Hawaii. Alston was most active in 2006, when he released three solo albums.

Early career
Mc Girthy started on ty-usergroup-hip-hop in 2001. He had an recorded IP there since November 1999. The first song to be released on the web by Alston was Juppiti teer.
