Mikkey Halsted and Lupe Fiasco-Gone


In light of “37 SHOOTINGS, 46 VICTIMS & 9 MURDERS” during Chicago’s first ‘warm’ weekend, the Trayvon travesty, 6-year old Aliyah Shell, and in honor of my cousins Ismail & Malik that were gunned down last summer…I felt as though this was the time to drop this song. Shouts to Lupe for helping me paint a vivid picture of what goes on everyday in Chicago and every other ghetto in America.

An excellent introspective effort from two of Chicago’s finest, with some fantastic reflective lyricism from both artists making for a refreshing listen in the current hip-hop climate. The instrumentation and hook work is very well suited too, and this is a well-executed track that conveys a great message and remains very listenable.

Mikkey is the next one up on a Kanye West beat, grabbing the superb Gorgeous beat for a freestyle. Live on US radio, Mikkey Halsted comes through with some nice bars that undoubtedly showcase his underrated skills-’fly as hell, why they wanna keep me nailed to the ground?‘.

It’s always easy to enjoy freestyles, but is made considerably easier when they’re of this quality. Certainly one the hip-hop heads can appreciate, and it’ll be interesting to see who steps up next on this beat: they’ve got a tough act to follow!
