Mickey Factz

I’m not positive as to how I found Mickey Factz, but either way, it was meant to happen.  I haven’t heard any of his earlier work, just his most recent mixtape titled Dark Phoenix #ALPHA, which I found to be as intellectually tactful as it was pleasantly surprising.  He’s definitely got a story to tell, which you can interpret through his passionately syncopated rhyming over top of sampled tracks from Phoenix’s hit album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.  It’s been pretty few and far between these days where I find Hip-Hop that I really like and this album got me on first listen.  I definitely recommend you download it, not only because it’s free and awesome, but because thoughtful, witty music like this is what’s going evolve Hip-Hop in the right way.
