Mars (Born Mario Delgado[3] in 1980) is an American rapper from the San Francisco Bay Area.[3][4]
In 2005, he received national attention when fan Jeff Weise frequented Mars' website and forum before killing nine people.[5]
In 2009, Mars received attention when it was learned that Mars' music was an influence on the music of horrorcore fan Richard Sam McCroskey, who allegedly killed four people.[3] McCroskey's MySpace page listed Mars as his favorite rapper, and Mars told law enforcement he had seen and signed autographs for McCroskey at various events before the murders.[6] From these events, he has been interviewed by several tv news outlets around the United States including CBS News, Fox News, ABC News, and CNN.[7][8][9]
Mars releases his music on Mad Insanity Records, including his most recent School House Glock: Extra Credit (2009, EP).[10]
