This compelling book, "Mic Mountain: My Book of Lyrics Volume 1," is a unique compilation that weaves together the powerful lyrics of Mic Mountain's hip-hop journey.</span><br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">From his early teenage years, Mic Mountain was destined for greatness, fueled by a passion for rap that led him to local 8-track studios. Drawing inspiration from iconic figures like Run DMC and A Tribe Called Quest, especially the late Phife Dawg whose flow left an indelible mark on Mic's artistry, the narrative takes you through the evolution of his craft.</span><br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">High school marked a pivotal moment as Redman emerged, offering Mic Mountain a fresh perspective on the art of Mcing. As his journey unfolded, Mic collaborated with legends of the game, including Mellow Man Ace, Thirstin Howl 3rd, Pace Won, Tame One, Hakim Green, and Supreme the Eloheem, showcasing the breadth of his talent and influence.</span><br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Mic Mountain's multicultural background serves as the driving force behind his dynamic flow and lyrical prowess. The book immerses readers in his world of metaphors and verbs, where each verse is a masterpiece of witty wordplay. With three mixtapes and six solo albums to his name, Mic Mountain is currently working on his latest project, "Triple Piragua," an ode to his Puerto Rican roots set to drop online in the summer of 2024.</span><br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">"Mic Mountain: My Book of Lyrics Volume 1" invites you to experience the heartbeat of Mic Mountain's music through the lens of his lyrics – a captivating journey through the soulful tapestry of hip-hop.</span></p><p> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/mic-mountain-michael-mountain/1144720558?ean=9798881112325" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/397983/434651d4de44dcb3797fd421f0ddce1c7f3bc9bc/original/proof.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></a></p>micmountain.comtag:micmountain.com,2005:Post/73329162024-01-12T13:17:19-05:002024-01-29T23:42:14-05:00ButterKnife Haircuts Presents Mic Mountain: Grab The Mic Vol. 1 (Hosted By PF Cuttin)<p style="text-align:center;"> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://butterknifehaircuts.bandcamp.com/album/butterknife-haircuts-presents-mic-mountain-grab-the-mic-vol-1-hosted-by-pf-cuttin?fbclid=IwAR1carIR8ujitKZphuyXwpp4qR13YyeuErE0wEXMWH0Ecz20Uton8jJu3lo" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/397983/11a6091c202979b585b4732ca200e2a2eb5b23b5/original/grabthemicvol1cdcover.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"> </p><p>Today is the official release of the Grab the Mic Volume 1 by Mic Mountain Host by PF Cuttin bought to you by ButterKnife Haircuts. They paid me to do the mixtape and gave me about 20 industry beats that I could choose from to use for the mixtape. I picked 11 even though I was supposed to only choose 10. I couldn’t help but pick the beat by DOC’s “It’s Funky Enough” as an extra track because I love hip-hop so much. They made me pick a 2pac beat which is not my favorite choice of beats but I liked the First 2 Bomb (OG) Remix beat. (Rest in Peace Tupac Shakur) I ran through every beat one by one because writing has gotten easier and faster for me over the years. I really enjoyed it doing the entire project. Special thanks to my sponsor Mr Scratch Hook aka DJ Erex for mixing and mastering the mixtape. And shout out to PF Cuttin for putting his flavor on it with the official stamp.<span> </span>You can buy your copy on Bandcamp at ButterKnife Haircuts Spot online. I hope you all enjoy it like I enjoyed making it.

I had known him for some years before he passed away and though it saddened my heart to know that he transitioned to the afterlife and I never got a chance to meet him in person we spent much time talking on the phone for years getting to know each other and that meant a lot to me. He gave me a lot of good advice and was like an Uncle figure. His advice would range from writing music to artwork and even advice on dating women and finding the best one for me to settle with if I chose that route not to stay single. He was a good dude with a sense of humor you couldn’t deny. I miss him from time to time as I remember him but I released this song that we did finally for the people of both our fanbases to hear to know that he always had a rhyme or two hidden up his sleeve. This one is for you Tame….Rest in Heaven as you watch down on us. Amen<span> </span></p><p> </p><p> </p><center>

Seendadream has always supported me on his online radio station and did one of my biggest interviews so showing him love in return was not even a second thought. This album features some of the best emcees out today such ass, Big Twins of the Infamous Mob Deep, Ruste Juxx, Ty Farris, Frizzy Fish, Myself and many more. Check it out and Enjoy!</p>

<p><span class="font_large">And they say my listener Fanbase is "Adventurous" which means they like exploring new sounds, styles and types of music. That's good I expected that. </span></p>

This album is a follow up to 2020's Piragua. Both serve as anthems for living as & growing up Puerto Rican. Being able to relate to everything this album embodies, album like Piragua & Mas Piragua hold a special place in my favorites & will do so for any fellow Boricuas that give this album a listen. As Mic's predecessors (Big Pun, etc.) have proven, Puerto Ricans have unique spice (pun very much intended) in the hip hop game & that's all too present on Mas Piragua. </p><p><strong>Overview: </strong></p><p>Lyrics/Flow/Content: 5 Mics</p><p>Creativity/ Originality: 5 Mics </p><p>Beats/ Production: 5 Mics</p><p>Features: 5 Mics</p><p>Overall: 5 Mics</p><p><strong>Favorite Tracks:</strong></p><p>- Plancha</p><p>- Black Spanish </p><p>- Gandules </p><p><strong>Least Favorite Tracks:</strong> </p><p>Wouldn’t want to choose any even if I could. The proud ethnicity present on this album make this unique perspective easily digestible. </p><p><strong>Lyrics/Flow/Content: </strong></p><p>As stated previous, this album is Puerto Rican-centric. From the track names to the bars, everything La Montaña brings to the table is wrapped up in that proud red, white & blue flag; just as he is on the cover of the album. No, not the United States Flag. The track Black Spanish stuck out to me as it presents us with the perspective of living life as a person of mixed ethnicity. Mic Mountain on this opening tracks exudes pride for both his Black & Hispanic heritage. Once again here the perspective is all too personal; being a Black Puerto Rican myself. Mountain all over Piraguas brings us flavorful lyrics in both English & Spanish that compliment beautifully the Spanish influences in the beats. The flows on Piraguas are hungry from Mic and guests alike. </p><p><strong>Creativity/Originality: </strong></p><p>Puerto Ricans have had a powerful presence in the hip hop game but what Mic delivers here is drenched in that Borinquen (Puerto Rican) spices. Track names such as Gandules, 3 Kings Day (Tres Reyes) & Arrebatao aren’t just references to Spanish culture but more specifically Puerto Rican culture which reaffirms the ethnic influences present. The interlude Mas Piragua features an interview in which Mountain explains the word piragua & the naming scheme for both albums. He explains that a piragua is a Puerto Rican snow cone. The cover of his previous work Piragua features a piragua cart or a snow cone cart. Mic explains in the interview the Piraguero (snow cone man) pushing the carts selling snow cones on a hot day bring differently flavors which is likens to the flavors he brings on his music. This allusion included in Mas Piraguas is made cleverer when you translate Mas to mean ‘more’ in English so the name of the album is Mountain bringing us more flavorful treats with twice as many tracks. </p><p><strong>Beats/Production: </strong></p><p>Mas Piraguas is Boom Bap coming face to face with Latin music. Tracks like Black Spanish & Plancha has a more old-school Boom Bap sound. Then there are several tracks featuring that Spanish taste like Pa la Calle & Fuego which feature Spanish guitar riffs or Gandules & Salvajes which have a spicy salsa vibe. Fuego & Tiempo Para el Sexo bring a Reggeton influence. Producer Domingo Padilla, of Immortal Technique and Big Pun fame, produced the tracks La Fiesta and Gandules which have more of a party vibe. Queens’ DJ E.Rex of Hell Razah fame, mixed and mastered the whole album. </p><p><strong>Features: </strong></p><p>La Montaña brings back long time guest artist Thirstin Howl the 3rd who also appeared on Piragua, Warpath 2 & 3. Brooklyn legend & fellow Latino Shabaam Sahdeeq’s verse on Con Salsa matches Mountain’s aggressive bars. Fellow HHL¡fer 8ch2Owens is featured on 2 tracks, 3 Kings Day & Salvajes. Serum, LMS, Ctraffik, godHead The General, CrDnlSn & more are sprinkled on tracks. The guest verses add and compliment the beats brought onboard for this album. </p><p><strong>Parting Thoughts: </strong></p><p>I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this album several times. With every relistened I picked on more subtle references to Puerto Rican culture that I’ve grown up with. Lots of bangers and premier quality spitting on Mas Piragua. Lots of flavors that hip hop enthusiasts of all kinds are sure to enjoy! </p><p>Written by: Anthony Ladell</p>micmountain.comtag:micmountain.com,2005:Post/69045412022-02-22T20:32:44-05:002022-02-22T20:32:44-05:00C-Rayz Walz - BAILAPHOBIA featuring Mic Mountain and Others<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/397983/520a97849beeeed55f778a4406928603f0e471cb/original/free-rayz-walz-2-0-front-cover.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

Starting off on the east coast, taking a huge boom in the South Bronx of New York. It became popular for the underground scene. All thanks to Dj Kool Herc who started this movement. Known as a way to being perceived as an expression for the youth. It has now moved to a celebration and a powerful tool during protests. To this day, you can find an artist such as Mic Mountain using his power and influence to create a new flair in Hip Hop.</span></p><p><span class="text-big"><strong>Who Is Mic Mountain?</strong></span></p><p><span class="text-big"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/397983/afa43fed539f107bb9c7b4d3ede312b8d1fcd3e0/original/img-3805-1-304x300.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p><p><span class="text-big">Mic Mountain is an Afro-Latino rapper and producer of Native American descent. He started his career in music during his teenage years. He thrived off of his joy of writing and paid local producers to record in their 8-track studios. Currently, he is also a graphic designer and web developer. Meanwhile Mic Mountain is an independent artist who also uses the art of drawing as a form for his expression. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">“When I was a kid, I knew [music] was a good way to express myself”, said Mic. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">As someone who classifies himself as an introverted person, he found a way to be an outspoken person. For that reason, Mic Mountain relies on his creative projects. These ventures helped him be more social and have his peers accept who he is even more.</span></p><p><span class="text-big"><strong>Breaching The Barriers </strong></span></p><p><span class="text-big">By the 1980s a big part of the Latino community located in the outskirts of the United States became interested and started experimenting with Latin rap. It is different from Spanish rap, which originated in Spain. Many Cubans and Puerto Ricans who lived on the islands warmly welcomed hip-hop. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">Rappers such as Vico C, Ivy Queen, Chezina, Daddy Yankee, Eddie Dee, Tempo, and more were the ones who adopted this movement and became pioneers in the genre around Latin America. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">As for Mic Mountain embracing the Latin roots is just part of his style of music and believes in the mix of an indigenous drum or the “boom bat” as he mentioned during the interview. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">“I feel it has a native American rhythm to it, there’s always this soulful base, melodic tones, and soul samples. As well from old school sounds and a lot of Latin influence”. said Mic Mountain for Hypefresh. </span></p><p><span class="text-big"><strong>Projects In The Making </strong></span></p><p><span class="text-big">Moreover, Mic currently has two studio albums called Piragua released in 2020, and Mas Piragua released in July of this year. Both pay homage to his Puerto Rican roots. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">To give more context, Piragua is a shaved ice dessert commonly found in the streets of Puerto Rico. These snacks come in a shape of a cone covered in a fruit-flavored syrup. Most of these bright colored dessert snacks usually sell for $1.25 to $3.00 at most. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">One of his favorite projects so far is Piragua, because for him it was the one who started it all. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">“It’s very special to me, it expresses my love for my grandmother who passed that year [2020] during the peak of the Covid pandemic. It’s also my first professional studio album which was mixed and mastered properly”. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">Mic Mountain produced majority of the album himself and he believes it’s a good album. Additionally, he dedicated a song to a girl “who stole my heart” as he remembered. A song found on his album Mas Piragua called “Black Spanish” is known as one of his most popular.</span></p><p><span class="text-big"><strong>Inspirations </strong></span></p><p><span class="text-big">Many of his influences come from many of the genres in Spanish music, varying from Salsa, Reggeaton, Merengue, and so on. Furthermore, there are artists who have given Mic Mountain the push into the right direction of inspiration going from Big Pun, Bad Bunny, Anuel AA, Willie Colon, Hector Lavoe, Oscar de Leon who is affectionately called The Pharaoh of Salsa. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">He’s currently a 24/7 recording artist, which means he is always at the studio. What Mic does to find his inspiration in writing the songs is that he listens to the beat itself. While having a drink and smoking in the meantime. By the time he finishes writing, he goes straight to the booth and records almost instantly. As for now, we hope to see even more growth in Mic Mountain and catch a glimpse of what’s next to come. </span></p><p><span class="text-big">“I want to inspire people to be themselves and anybody who can relate to what I’m saying. Also to breach the gap between Spanish-speaking, hip hop listeners. Basically leave my contribution in hip hop.”</span></p><p> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><span class="text-big">Written by Gabriela Valentin for </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.hypefresh.co/mic-mountain-coming-up-from-the-underground/?fbclid=IwAR2Zbb_ZOdJUgILfHRSymXKcg0EuMi6GvnSFD7TgMz0pCi8DoEBe2-9YYCU" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="HypeFresh.com"><span class="text-big"><strong>HypeFresh.com</strong></span></a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>micmountain.comtag:micmountain.com,2005:Post/68280062021-12-02T14:54:17-05:002021-12-02T14:54:17-05:00My #SpotifyWrapped for 2021<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/397983/319f50e1c6d3c4beeba00895fe5fbb6c8b35da4f/original/a5f911cb69f70436bed7a784a93d5dd1a29fda80.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

<p>A musical celebration of culture and life. Presented in 8 different styles </p>
<p>Mic Mountain is no stranger to the underground hip hop music scene. With multiple records and collaborative efforts already under his belt, this emcee has showcased his flow in a range of styles. His new album, Piragua, showcases that variety in a way like never before. </p>
<p>Piragua is an audio and visual celebration of Mic’s life as Mic combines beats from multiple styles with stories of his past, his Puerto Rican heritage, and his dreams and plans for the future. </p>
<p>Tracks like "Mire Loco” feature a southern vibe as Mic expresses his views on the current state of governments and their need to open up and be real with their people. </p>
<p>The song also features an animated music video that Mic created and directed himself.</p>

We would personally like to thank you Mic Mountain for rocking with our BLOG and most importantly pushing real Hip Hop! Let me ask you how long have you been a Hip Hop artist? What specific area are you from? Also, how did you get you emcee name?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Thank you for having me me it feels good to be here. I’ve been doing hip hop recording since 1992 but I didn’t release anything online until 2008. I’m from the Washington D.C. area aka the DMV area. My real name is Michael Mountain but I dropped the letters to Mic because back in the days the Source would give you 5 mics. I wanted to represent a Mountain of Microphones.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><strong>We notice your style is super original and very creative. Let us know how your style if different than all the rap artists out there!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">My style rhythmic and melodic but at the same time my delivery jump’s out and grabs you and hold your attention. Plus I speak with alot of character in my voice so that always helps get the point across when conveying a message through song I guess.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><strong>Please breakdown the creative process behind ““The Avalanche”…Also, ever planning on pushing a full Spanish project?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I might do a Spanglish project but not entirely in Spanish. I made sure the listener could follow along in both languages on on of the tracks “Ritmico Boricua.” From the beginning I sat down and made each beat from practically scratch. Then I put them all in Playlist order as what would sound good after the previous track.and I just wrote to the music and planned the album out as far as features and hooks and skits etc.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><strong>Do you remember the day/time when you realized you wanted to become an Hip Hop artist?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Yes my uncles always encouraged me to do my raps and draw when I was a teen, I didn’t start taking it serious until my late teens. My best friends at the time, actually my brothers Hasani Lateef and Lee Majors showed me how to do this professionally. I’ll always be thankful for them helping me believe in my self and my talents.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><strong>How does social media playing a role in your success? How are fans/supporters helping your movement?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Social Media has been a blessing and a Curse because some people will like you and some won’t. It’s like your personality and views represent your brand now but as long as you do good business and offer a good product or service and most of all remain yourself than you are golden. I’ve made tons of fans online but the best ones are the ones who are friends for life whether you have met them or not. it’s all about making that personal connection.</span></p>

Today there are more descendants of PR in the States than in the Island of PR itself. What makes this song important is that we who were not BORN in Puerto Rico are just as proud to be Boricua if not More and unlike those who were born there we have to constantly Reaffirm our Heritage & Identity with words like "Yo Soy Boricua" or "Yo Soy Puertorriqueno". Essentially even though we were not born there nor do we live there Puerto Rico is in our Hearts and We are from Puerto Rico none the less. <a class="_58cn" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/wepa?source=feed_text&epa=HASHTAG" data-ft="{"><span class="_5afx"><span class="_58cl _5afz">#</span><span class="_58cm">WEPA #PALANTE</span></span> </a></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: geneva,sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">This past weekend I hooked up with Turtlegangnyc Entertainment to film the first video for my upcoming album for 2018 "The Avalanche" LP. We shot scenes at different locations such as the alleyway filled with mural paintings behind "Republic Gardens" Night Club in Washington D.C. We also shot scenes at "The Lab" Recording Studios and "Joe's Record Paradise" in Silver Spring, Maryland on the DC border-line. The Turtlegangnyc team was very professional and they gave me so much energy to feed off of and to give that energy to the camera. I'm really glad I hired a crew instead of doing it myself with my close friends. It took us 2 days and 3 locations but we got it all done and fit all the footage in one video. Shout out the Fat Beats Forever Productions at The Lab Recording Studios, they have been holding me down for a long time. And with that said, let's show the final product below! Let's Go!!!</span> </span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I know it's been a while since I blogged you folk so please forgive me, I had major surgery in mid December and I have been in the rehabilitation center until April a couple days ago going through physical therapy so that I could learn how to walk again.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Fortunately, I had a whole unreleased mixtape ready and on my hard drive at home waiting to be heard by all you good people. Ladies and Gentlemen may I introduce to you "Thundercats the Mixtape"! This was a collaborative effort that took about half a year in the making to put together. I featured Artists from all over the world such as Mr Ripley, Rodimus P, Bliss, 72theSign, Multiple Man, Mista Midwest and my homie Pacewon of the Outsidaz crew. Each intrumental that we rhymed over I had produced using samples from the 1985 Thundercats animated series turning theme songs into hip-hop beats. This project was based on a cartoon that people my age grew up and watched when we were younger and if you ever seen it you would know why it was so special. I released it online for free and for sale on all major online retailers so that everyone can get a copy and we just made physical copies exclusively available on this site as well. So with no further a due I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Durring May 12-19, 2016 I took a family trip to Puerto Rico. While there me and my cousin "CheechTruMC" shot the video for my my second single "Reppin Boricua". We went to locations such as Old San Juan, El Yunque Rain Forest, and Luquillo Beach to shoot different scenes. I recommend to anybody who visits San Juan to patronize the famous restaurant "Los Raices" for that authentic Puerto Rican Food. Also if you happen to visit Luquillo Beach make sure you eat at a Kiosko called "Las Parrillas" for their fresh Lobster and Churrasco Steak. It was definitely an adventure and with out t he help of our Daily Taxi Driver/Tour Guide Alvyn Mejia we would not have made it happen so Big Ups to him. This video was made to represent my rich Puerto Rican heritage while using clever word play. So with no further adieu............Check it Out and Enjoy!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Mic Mountain</strong> – I started when I was in my early teens writing and paying local producers to record in their 8 track studios for mad cheap but it was expensive when you was a kid and it was all the money you could afford. I quit for a minute because I had to do some juvenile detention time but I never lost my passion for rhyming. When I got out and met with my homies Hasani and Lee Majorz they were already doing it big in the local music industry so I kinda got back into mcing slowly but surely.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Nahila S</strong> – Who or what were your early influences?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Mic Mountain</strong> – When I was 5 or 6 my favorite video was “The King of Rock” by Run DMC, I knew the words line for line Hahahaha. In middle school the low end theory by Tribe came out and I learned from Phife Dawg how to flow and come with punchline (Rest in Peace). Later in High school Redman came out and just gave me a whole new perspective on Mcing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Nahila S</strong> – Where does the name Mic Mountain comes from?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Mic Mountain</strong> – My birth name is Native American, it’s Mike Mountain. I just dropped some letters and let it be “Mic” so it’s synonymous with Microphone meaning I earned a mountain of mics, I am a Mountain of different styles.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Nahila S</strong> – On the track “Mi Vida is Guerra” you are featuring with the legendary Mellow Man Ace, how did you link up? how was this track born?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Mic Mountain</strong> – Well I met Mellow on Facebook since he lives on the opposite coast from me here in the states. We started building on the phone and since I did graphic design and web sites I helped him set up his music to sell online since this was his first time doing it on his own thing the indie way with out a record labels help, I hooked him up as a favor for a verse in return as a barter. It took forever for him to return the favor! Hahahaha But with the help of my man Thirstin Howl 3rd we did a great song.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Nahila S</strong> – How would you describe your style of hip hop?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Mic Mountain</strong> – Clever, energetic, entertaining, versatile and full of character</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Nahila S</strong> – What is your vision of the hip hop scene today?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Mic Mountain</strong> – The Hip-Hop scene today is very diverse, the mainstream promotes a certain 808 southern bounce sound, but traditional boom bap Hip-Hop is still alive and well especially from what I’m seeing in the New York local scene as well as West Coast. Really that traditional sound is world wide you just gotta turn off the American radio and search the web for new music that is more your taste.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Nahila S</strong> – To date what are your best career achievements?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Mic Mountain</strong> – Doing songs with some of my favorite MC’s in the game and putting out my own albums independently.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Nahila S</strong> – What positive does your passion for hip hop bring you?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Mic Mountain</strong> – Recognition for my talent all over the world and being able to help other people.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Nahila S</strong> – What are your upcoming projects?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Mic Mountain</strong> – My third solo album The Warpath 3 is coming out this summer, also I’m releasing a solo album by my homie Lee Majors which I produced called Verse4verse Volume 4.0: Chinese Medicine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Nahila S</strong> – As a conclusion what advise would you give to someone willing to start MCing?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Mic Mountain</strong> – Whether it’s Music or just the way you carry yourself always be YOU. Don’t worry about trying to be everybody’s friend in the industry because you’ll find that there will be a few people that will hate you no matter what you do or how much love you show them. And remember it is a business at the end of the day, everyone needs to be paid so that they can feed themselves and their families. Treat others how you would want them to treat you.</span></p>
