Initially, Burrell worked a number of jobs before becoming a rap star, which included dancing, being a baseball batboy, and eventually performing as a rapper at local clubs. Burrell’s rap performances earned him the title of “MC” or “Master of Ceremonies”, which he would later incorporate into his stage name. At first, Burrell desired to become a baseball player, yet when his chances to be one failed, he focused on a rapping career instead. Prior to his mainstream success in the 1990s, MC Hammer performed at small venues and local events, and even released two albums, namely “Feel My Power” and “Let’s Get It Started”. But it was the release of “Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em” that brought him national fame.

After his two commercially profitable albums, MC Hammer has released eight more studio works, ventured to launch a television and film career, and worked on several other businesses.
