Since appearing in XXL’s Freshman Class of ’09 cover story, Bronx-bred rapper Mickey Factz has been doing big things, most recently partnering with Honda for a national campaign advertising their 2009 Accord.
Factz hit up XXLmag.com to talk about his commercial with the car company and how the deal came about. “People see that I’m a sensible character as far as an artist,” he said. “The music that I make is inspiring to a lot of people. I’m not talking about driving in a Bentley or having crazy chains on. Everybody knows Honda is a sensible car for a sensible people. Most artists are portraying this lifestyle that they are ballin’ out of control and most of the fans are [sensible] fans and they purchase regular stuff… and that’s why they picked me.”
In the ad Factz portrays a paralegal by day and by night he runs the biggest “hip-hop internet radio show in the country.” “Honda serves as the sensible, everyday car for the everyday man, so you’ll see Mickey Factz using the Honda to get to work and then you’ll see Mickey Factz using the Honda to get to his radio show,” he says of he clip. “The Honda plays the integral part in the commercial and in my life too.”
Along with appearing in the commercial, the unsigned MC says his music will also be used. “I got paid for two services,” he shared. “I got paid to be an actor in the commercial and I got paid for my music to be in the commercial. So that’s two separate checks that I’m getting. I also get residuals on the commercial and if the commercial does well it gets extended. Right now it’s on a 3-month trial period. It’s a great situation and a great deal for me. It was a nice chunk of money.”
According to Mickey the campaign –which includes a 30 second TV spot and 2 minute online commercial – will premiere on January 19th.
Along with the business opportunity, the rapper says fans can expect his upcoming debut, The Achievement, to drop shortly. While he is still not signed, he says the project will most likely be coming out on his own independent GFC New York label. – Elan Mancini with additional reporting by Rob Markman

I only liked about 4 songs on that Renaissance. Good to see him back on the scene though. And there’s no bias from me, I prefer New Yawk hip hop over detroits gahbage any day.

Since you don’t live here you don’t hear the trash that comes out of detroit. Other than royce, black milk, slum village (maybe a few others), all the rest sound like trash.

***SMH…who could take out their own babies, man (none)….apparently, they were ripping off the govt for day care money, and got caught by their employer (Kaiser Permanente) and subsequently fired….that would be a good reason to act ig’nit, maybe kill a fif of henne and talk shit about your former job, but killing your kids? That’s “America eats its young” personified…why not just let the babies be, SMH…same for Jennifer Hudson’s brother in law- what did the nephew have to do with it?
January 29th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
@ cOLD… say word?!?!?! i tihnk i’d have a mental breakdown if that shit happened to me
@ icon, thanks man, family’s doing well since, was hard to say bye, but we expected him to go 5 years ago, and somehow he cheated death back then… though he was healthier now than then, it was still shocker to hear he passed
January 29th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I was subconsciously hatin on “nike boots” cuz he was obviously usin the “steppin on my jays” or “air force ones” gimmicks, but its a catchy song

**what, no love for Trick Trick? Esham? LMAO…
Yo, speaking of Detroit, I was on youtube (none) the other day, and they have up a bunch of old Awesome Dre material…

January 29th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
why not just let the babies be
^…and that is the million dollar question. I would never understand harming children. NEVER.

January 29th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Trick Trick? Yeah ok.. I assume you’re joking. I give props to anybody doin their thing, but Trick Trick gets no play in the lincoln or the ipod or anywhere else where I have control of the music.
January 29th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
mom’s was with it too. extra foul.
^sizzler, but moms be on that Postpartum depression (no excuse). Remember the moms who drowned like 6 kids ranging from 6 ms to 8 yrs old, in the bath-tub. The oldest died last, so you know he/she witnessed the horror. Bitch later said that God told her to off them.

***yeah, it’s never an easy thing, to let go (none)…Death is a mystifying thing by nature, even if it is an eventuality for all of us…I was just thinking on this friend of mine who passed in 07- dude was my age, had a similar family, background, all that- except I came from a ghetto black family, and he was from a poor white trash type white fam, which is prolly why we got along so well…now he’s not here, anymore, and it all happened in an instant…kinda makes a nigga confront his own mortality….aiight, I’mma stop being weird…
January 29th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
LOL @ Plug- I was joking with Trick Trick and Esham, although, from what I understand, Esham is a very influential and popular rapper in Detroit…

once again, you put wayne on a track with some real emcees, and he’s gets owned. “put your hands in the air if your pussy don’t stink,” seriously?! step the fuck up. they need to cut wayne and get ghostface on this joint. overall the remix was dope though. rae killed that shit
