Mikkey Halsted - Liquor Store (Chicago cat, better than Lupe Fiasco)

For those fiending for something fresh you ain't heard yet peep this:






Check him out. He has a mixtape out that is pretty dope at his website. He's been around for over 10 years, but is still trying to drop his solo and his solo is going to be exec produced by NO I.D.

Update:

Good rec SRP...I heard the my life track before, but never heard the Liquor Store track ...good shit mayne.

Hey man this cat is something special, I don't undastand how cats like that remain unsigned. He almost did betta than Jay on that Lost Ones trk. He's not more lyrical than Lupe but he is more easy to digest and realte too. Shouts out to 69th & Halsted!

You know what's gonna blow your mind old man kev - is the fact Mikkey was signed with cash money almost ten years ago... was on the song "Shine" by Lil' Wayne... he was down with Kanye back before Jay discovered Ye... and it is clear who Kanye got his rhyme style from...

I don't know I see more Rhymefest in Ye than this one. I'm sure they all influenced each other. I use to luv that song Shine.....

Ummmm. some songs I see Ye's cadence, flow, voice, etc - so I think Ye did get his style from Mikkey - but yeah - shine was a dope song...

Shine was my jam in late middle school to throughout high school...always bumped that in the car when we were goin out
