To create an interactive experience with his following, below in this video he asks of you to INSPIRE him for his 32nd Leak.

Vote For Mickey: MTVu The Freshmen

I told you we're going to get you guys ready for the elections this coming November. In this installment of Vote For Mickey, he's been selected to be a part of this weeks, The Freshmen. Here's how it works. 1 of 5 videos that YOU the viewers decide will get added to their playlist for the week. To go and vote, click HERE. Watch below to see what this week's Freshmen had to say about Mickey Factz ft. The Cool Kids - Rockin N Rollin (Remix) video. Let us know what you think.





My opinion, Mallory is hilarious for the leecher comment. Clearly she hasn't watched enough hip-hop videos, because she would know that the featured artist has been a staple in the music before she was born...but I digress...lol

Mickey Factz @ Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival

I remember when we went to BHF 2 years ago for the first time and we interviewed Lupe Fiasco for Laced Magazine. Lupe was a new artist making waves in the industry, sharing the stage with some legendary acts. I remember us saying to ourselves then, that we'd get Mickey on that stage. Now just 2 years later we've made true on our promise. This year is even more special because Mickey will be sharing the same stage with KRS-One, who is the headliner for the event. With Mickey being from the BX boro, that means even more because it's a symbolic passing of the torch between the Teacher and the Student. This Saturday, July 12th is going to be a special afternoon. You're not going to want to miss a classic moment in hip-hop history as the Past and the Future grace the stage.

For those that aren't in the know and are waiting on me to let them know, well you'll have to wait no longer. The GFC family is growing.

These latter 2 acts are very important to the chemistry our family since they bring a varied dynamic and attitude to our sound.  Here is a new track from each of them.

Overdose On Life (Part 1) w/Travis of The Gym Class Heroes

Several weeks ago Mickey Factz leaked "Overdose On Life" as a part of his weekly leak series. The track showcasing him also featured Drake, a Canadian artist/actor of Degrassi fame and Travis McCoy of the Gym Class Heroes. The man responsible for the production and bringing all the parties involved together is Omen. If you don't know who Omen is, he's done work with Fabolous, Mya, Ludacris and most recently working with Dr. Dre (We're all still waiting for Detox). Omen will be releasing his album, Be The Judge, later on this year where "Overdose On Life" is the first single off that project.

Here, Omen will be presenting videos that will take us on a break down of the track with the artists involved. First up is your boy Travie. Check out the video below.
