Mickey Factz (New Release!)

Download "Heavens Fallout" - HERE

Overcoming the climate of mediocrity and misdirection, Mickey Factz takes us on his internal search for clarity and meaning on his journey towards self-enlightenment. We watch as the abstract psyche of an artist come into full focus as he confides in us about his aspirations, relationships, and vices.

Laying his narrative over an eclectic array of music from alternative to rock to electronic while still embracing his foundations, Mickey christens Heaven's Fallout as the genesis of the new sound of hip hop for a new generation. Some may consider him the messenger; he believes he's just fulfilling what he's been chosen to be. Visit Mickey at WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ITZMICKEY

2RA

Download "Skeletons on the Mic" - HERE

Buy "Sacred Dreams" CD Price: $12.97

2ra (aka Dannyblueyes) is in a leauge of his own. He pushes the limits of creativity that can only be deemed as an experiment out of control (whether you like it or not who gives a phuck lets watch the experiment!). It's like 2ra has formed a sub Hip Hop genre all in his own. With that said, listen before you attempt to put a finger on what his music embodies. You need to have an aquired taste to appreciate the art that he's bringing. "Skeletons on the Mic" combats religious dogma, social issues, attacks the secret orders and social deception, while at times doing it from the veil of a spiritual/christian point of view. 2ra gives us a great roller coaster ride 'til the end that at first I was reluctant to take but happy that I went along for the ride.

"Changes," pretty much sums up the entire essence of the album, which is an ingenious poem that is droppin' serious knowledge (a must listen). The production is unique and lends a dark eerie feel through out the album. Not your typical boom bap, but a merge of many different genres with a hip hop aura at the forefront. As stated, if you're use to the norm and can't open your mind's ear to "newness" then this is not for you ... play it safe "Oh yea of little faith!" On the otherhand, those of us who seek difference will appreciate "Skeletons on the Mic" for an attempt to go left when most artist are adament in going right. Please check 2ra out at WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THEREAL2RA

Those interested in working with this artist please contact 2ra's management at 778-869-0322

Fam Nice

Download "Racsim Against Humanity" - HERE

Download "The Dark Ages" - HERE

Internet legend and/or one of the best unsigned artists in America ... those are just ust a few of the titles bestowed or thrown in the direction of the lyrical genius that is the man we call The Magnificent Fam Nice aka Slim Cutty. Not many can hold a flame to his mic skills, whether that's battling or just creating timeless underground classics.

These two albums are a great introduction to Fam's older work; however, check his myspace account or his website and you'll be able to download all of his albums. Will Fam "make it?" Well, the mantle of the Magnificent is no exaggeration ... and the rumour mill suggests his big break is just around the corner. So maybe the question should read not if Fam will "make it," rather did you let the next big thing just pass under your radar? Visit Fam at WWW.MYSPACE.COM/FAMNICE

Black Liquid

Download "A Lord Slugg Production" - HERE

Download "Free Black" - HERE

In an era full of bragadocious rappers, snappers, clappers and trappers, Black Liquid aka Liq is a breath of fresh air. He's a mix between Rza, Gza, and Guru. With that said, you know there's no lack luster performance on either of these albums. Black has a fluid yet unorthadox flow that compliments his lyrics like carrots and peas. The downside of "A Lord Slugg Production" is perhaps ironically its production; with that said, Black's lyrics keep you hanging on every word.

My dude is truly a diamond in the rough waiting for ears to hear his gift. He takes it back to the boom bap with the lyrics and just when you think you'll turn off the CD you end up going from track to track until the album is done. He has some lyrical masterpieces ... sometimes the experimentation of the music music distracts from Black's wonderful brush strokes. Other than that, don't let this man go unheard! The "Black" experience is a must! These two CDs are must haves. Please support Black's music and check him out at WWW.MYSPACE.COM/BLACKLIQ
