“Karma, the trauma, the two headed monsta…”- Mikkey Halsted

Mikkey Halsted – Karma ft. Kaye Fox [Prod. No ID]
Directed By Noah Banks

Download: Mikkey Halsted – Karma ft. Kaye Fox [Prod. No ID]

Been waiting on this album for a long while now.  Mikkey Halsted is so talented. It’s only right that his debut album would be called Chicago: The Photo Album. He’s gifted describing pictures with his words. If you haven’t downloaded that mixtape in the side bar [The Uncrowned King]–DO IT.   And be on the look out for his album coming soon.

The majority of it is produced by No ID so I’m getting Resurrection, Can I Borrow A Dollar, It’ll All Make Sense vibes…I don’t think Mikkey will let us down, he’s what dead.prez would sound like if they concentrated on skills, delivery + the message–I DARE YALL TO DISAGREE…

You know where to get that album review first!

Mikkey Halsted – Liquor Store [prod. 1120] [directed by Rico & Da Visionaryz]
Another beautiful video and poetic ass song.

The other night, I had an interesting disagreement with this cat who tried to tell me that Mickey Factz was out before Mikkey Halsted. Now being that I’m a living Hip Hop encyclopedia, I knew I was right, but I let the dude plead his case anyway. Conclusion: Mickey Factz came before Mikkey Halsted because he heard of Halsted after Factz.

What type of ass backwards logic is that? That’s like saying the Black Eyed Peas first album was Elephunk or Common got better as an MC on “Be”. That’s the same logic as America wasn’t discovered until Europeans claimed it. Bullshit! I wouldn’t expect him to know that Halsted’s been on Ca$h Money classics like Hood Rich, Big Money, Heavy Weight, or Birdman–but I would think that the self proclaimed Kanye stan, would remember him on the High School Graduate Tape, or on Rhymefest’s Blue Collar which was bumped very heavily in ’06.

Right Now, you can cop his latest mixtape– Uncrowned King hosted by V-Dubb [also in sidebar]

It’s not like he was a forgettable rapper either. Listening to his “older” tracks, he stands out like he always did. But this ladies and gentleman is a case of what goes on too much in the game right now. Bandwagon syndrome. That is all.
