Ever so often, time produces something special for the world to enjoy... Chicago, a new hot bed for music talent has once again given birth to another great MC. Up steps Mikkey, a product of Southside Chicago's notorious Wild 100's section, is not new to the industry. Mikkey got his start with super-producer Kanye West. West produced Mik's first demo which landed him a deal with Cash Money Records, but being a product of a circle that has produced a crop that reads like a midwest who's who... (Kanye West, Common, No I.D., Shawnna, etc.) it ended up being a short stint. He did a lot of ghostwriting before returning to his roots to begin crafting the soon to be Classic... "Chicago:The Photo Album". Back in his old stomping grounds, Mikkey reconnected with No I.D. and started recording. No I.D. took a few songs to Jermaine Dupri, and they quickly did a deal at Virgin Records. Production on his debut album is handled in bulk by No I.D., with help from Kanye West and Mannie Fresh to name a few. Mikkey's style of Classic Hip-Hop lyricism mixed with a street wise perspective should make Hip Hop heads go wild, all while his "Wild 100's" imagery is enough to keep the block locked down. It's been a while since an artist has shown lyrical integrity, depth, and street savvy...
