Geek Rhythms is a rap music album conceived and funded by chemical engineer Rajeev Bajaj in 2004.[1] Originally it was self-published, but is currently distributed by Hapi Skratch Entertainment of Loveland, Colorado and available on amazon.com. It features lyrics extolling the engineering profession, like "I am an engineer/Respect my mind/So bow down when u see me down town", and engineering concepts like thermodynamic cycles, fluid mechanics and robotics.[2] Sales have been modest, many of them to educators who want to promote science and engineering. It has been listed in a database for STEM education.[3]
