Mikkey Halsted - "Who Am I?" (Prod. by Kanye West)

Over the past year I've sporadically posted tracks from Mikkey's original demo tape, which was produced by Kanye and led to Mikk's deal with Cash Money Records.  Here's another one from the vaults.  I know I'm not the only one who would like to see these two work together again...

Kanye and Mikkey got nice chemistry from what I've heard. They could both stand help from each other right about now. En Shala

I'm tryna figure out the same thing. Maybe when Kanye starts rapping again he will

R.E.D. Inc. said...

He kinda flowed like Jay on here. But its all chi in the raps. "U a G to the death so I know u missing ya folks!" Crazy.

DT said...

he deserves a deal with a major label

Ball Phillips said...

Best in the GO, no question

Andrew Barber said...

Glad you guys like this one..

Wait til you hear this new shit he has with Traxster....

Boy oh boy!

Nello said...

Another dope cut once again from Mikkey & I got to agree about why don't Ye give him a chance with his label since they seem like such a perfect fit for each other!

Let's pressure Kanye in a good way into doing something with/for Mikkey. We gotta give that Obama type support to get Mikkey Halsted to the top. Tha Chi needs this win. Drew I know you got some pull tell us how we can help out.

Quick Trax

Andrew Barber said...

Man, I agree, but like you said Quick, we gotta make an Obama-like push for Mikkey. Y'all know I've been doing everything in my power over the past year...We just need everyone to get involved.

Becca the Promo Mami said...

an Obama-like push? huh???

it's possible....

people with barely discernible talent blow because of substantial movements behind them, so mikkey should be a no brainer.

Man on the real charlie... what can the city do... we need to get behind Mikkey in a major way... Cats are quick to get behind some foolishness... We need to start a movement to get this brother's voice out their in a major way.. He's spittin that street ministry with a message.. but at the same times its gangsta and chi-ill ass finuck!!!!! ya dig.......... Any suggestions???

Why don't everybody start flooding Kanye's blog with "positive" messages about working with Mikkey immediately and dope he is... This has to happen grassroots Obama style... Flood the homey... Because like it or not the game is built on who put you on... Kanye was put on the Roc... 50 em and jay... pac/ digital underground..etc the list goes on....

infamous said...

everybody gotta get behind his music. he definitely deserves it

HIS MUSIC IS TIMELESS AND THOUGH EVERYONE CAN'T RELATE, I DO AND I KNOW MILLIONS OF OTHERS DO. THIS IS THE VOICE OF MY GENERATION...I JUST CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YA'LL HAVE HEARD WHAT I'VE HEARD AND SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN. WE HAVE A REAL MOVEMENT ON OUR HANDS. LET'S RIDE IT. BELIEVE ME, HE'LL REALLY PUT ON FOR OUR CITY...STAND UP

I JUST CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG, I HAVEN'T HEARD IT IN SOOOO LONG...IF THIS AIN'T STREET MUSIC, WHAT IS? FYI, HE DID THIS WHEN JAY-Z WAS STILL RAPPING REASONABLE DOUBT STYLE (WHICH WAS DOPE) BUT THIS IS MIKKEY STYLE HOMEY...
