Video: Mikkey Halsted Interview w/ iHipHop
I got a chance to catch up with Chicago spitter Mikkey Halsted to get a quick update on what’s new with him and get his opinion on a couple of hot-button topics. He is putting the finishing touches on his EP The Last Shall Be First, working with super-producer NO I.D. in between his Kanye/Jay-Z projects. Recently Mikkey put together an event where he performed alongside other Chi-Town elite MC’s Naledge and Mic Terror. It was crazy in there and we had to do the interview in the place many of us find peace – in the bathroom! He performed his Don Cannon produced single “Hello” for the first time that night and we talked right before he began his set

Goddamm that new Banks’ joint ‘practise’ is thorough. Shit fuckin bangs, Banks been destroyin tracks lately
^ I can’t pin point what went wrong with Banks, it could just be my lack of interest. But dude just sounds borings as of late and I know he’s still spitting those:
They all want a nigga to stop
Cause I rap slick enough to slip the ring off of Vivica Fox
…type bars.
^That monotone flow and voice was gonna do him in eventually anyway.
