M.C. Hammer, one of hip-hop’s most iconic figures, is now a regular suburbanite living in a modest house in the town of Tracy, California. It’s a new rhythm, so to speak, compared to his previous life in a lavish mansion worth millions.
‘U Can’t Touch This’
The story of M.C. Hammer is likened to one of a rapper who went broke and faded into obscurity, then rebuilt himself from hardships. The 62-year-old now lives in an $800,000, 2,653-square-foot ranch-style home with a 1.20-acre lot, according to Omni House, where the median household income is a little over $100,000, according to Best Neighborhood.
The “U Can’t Touch This” rapper is far from broke, with an estimated current net worth of around $2 million.
M.C. Hammer’s residence, which he purchased in 1995 for approximately $395,000, features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It boasts a blend of classic and contemporary architectural elements, expansive windows, and elegant arches that enhance its aesthetic appeal.
The house in Tracy was featured in his reality show “Hammertime,” which aired on the A&E Network from June 14 to July 26, 2009. The show focused on the daily life of Stanley “Hammer” Burrell and his family, including his wife and six children. The series consisted of 11 episodes and aimed to portray Hammer’s life as a devoted family man after his rise and fall in the music industry, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
