I’ve posted on this promising new, young group from the DMV before but I didn’t even know this was coming out ’til I saw Ivan’s tweet about the apparent indie hip-hop Super Tuesday that went down yesterday. I mean, I probably got an email about it but right now I have 5821 unread emails just in my main inbox (that’s not even counting the regular and frequent emails from PR companies I filter into separate folders as well) so you do the math on how likely it is I saw it!

“2 days after Dj Mehdi died, Mickey Factz decides to unearth a record he recorded with the world renowned Dj. Mickey was recording an album for Need For Speed: Nitro & wanted to use the Mehdi produced K-1 Attack. Due to sample clearances, the both decided to create something new. “Cruisin'” was the outcome. With beat drops & cuts from the producing team FKi, Mickey navigates through the song like a racer. The death of Dj Mehdi is a sad one but should be celebrated and remembered. This track is a testament to that.
R.I.P. Dj Mehdi”
Had to post this as Mickey’s the homie and I got to see one of Mehdi’s final sets while in New York back in July for the Mad Decent Block Party.
