SXSW 2008

SXSW 2008 was crazy. You had to be there to believe it. Mickey Factz & GFCnewyork was out there in Austin, TX unofficially, officially crashing parties. What the hell you expect, we're from New York. The New Generation, The Leaders of the New School, whatever you want to call it was out there in full effect. Game Rebellion, The Cool Kids, Santogold, K.i.D. Cudi, Kidz In The Hall, Curtis Santiago, Wale, Mano, Mic Terror and Hollywood Holt, and more. I sense a coup d'etat will be taking place in the near future, so fair warning to the industry. As Wu-Tang once said, "Protect Ya Neck." Anyhow here are some pics from the trip courtesy of Mapi.

Leak #11: I Ain't Like The Rest Of Em ft. Theophilus London

"Back like I never left, it's week 11.  We doubling up this time.  On the second go round for collab month, I got my man Theophilus London, courtesy of Normrex to silence critics once and for all.

Clyde & Harry produced this banger and of course there's slick shit in there.  Just fuck with it.  So check it out and next week we'll be back like the gov of cali, lightly."

Eliot Spitzer Resigns

I thought New York's love affair with hookers and prostitutes was long gone after 42nd street was converted into DisneyLand.  Apparently my assumption was wrong; $80,000 wrong. Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned yesterday, after federal wiretap into a high-end prostitution outfit shed light on the zealous vice of his.

You'd think that after the Clinton scandal a few years ago and it being an election year, that some sort of "Political Correct-ness" would be a devote initiative.  Once again the Clinton's are affected by this, since Spitzer's superdelegate support of Hilary will now be relinquished.

To step into the role will be, David Paterson, 53, will be the first African-American governor in NY history, and first legally blind offical in the Nation's history.

Video: Sam Sparro - Black & Gold

I came across Sam Sparro after reading about him in the Radar section of the latest YRB Magazine. So then I decided to check out his song Black & Gold. This song is a hit in my book, it just has that "Access Granted" feeling. Then come to find out he has 2 videos for the song (one before the deal and the other after the deal, I'm assuming). Anyhow, I prefer the "After" video more than the "Before" video. The "Before" video is too "metro" for my liking, if you know what I mean. The "After" video is my favorite video of the year thus far.

SPIN Magazine x Mickey Factz

So yesterday we headed out to the Rockaways to do a photoshoot for SPIN Magazine, which Mickey Factz will be featured in. We worked with one of our favorite photographers, Thomas Prior. He had previously shot Mickey for the Fader (Issue #51). Even though it was cold and so windy that I think all the angels in heaven were blowing all at once, the shots that Tom caught we're great and we had good time bugging out. Here are a few behind the scene shots of the shoot.

Leak #10: Naledge Vs. Factz

"We’re back like we never left and boy do we have a banger for ya’ll this week!

Kicking off collab month is a joint that I did with Naledge from Kidz in the Hall. Just a lyrical tirade to show that we’re not gonna be classified in any genre. Its music at the end of the day. The track was produced by K. Scott and its been leaked as of yesterday, but that won’t stop us from giving it more and more love anyway.

So without further adieu I present:

Factz Vs. Naledge

See yall next week!

Itz Mickey!"
