Mickey Factz - For the Culture
Featuring: Marsha Ambrosius
Producer: Precize
Album: Heaven's Fallout (Re-Release)
Label: GFCnewyork/Battery Records
Has it really been four years since Mickey Factz dropped his critically-acclaimed Heaven’s Fallout mixtape? To answer my own rhetorical question, yes, yes it has. In lieu of the customary fourth-anniversary gift of fruit and/or flowers, the Bronx native’s preparing to bless fans with something a little more exciting: a re-release of the set, complete with a few fresh cuts. On this new addition, the freestyle alum reminds us why he’s still on his musical grind: “I do it for The Culture.” Precize keeps it sumptuous and chill behind the boards, crafting a glossy synth backdrop for Factz’ celebratory bars. Kicking the record off with a nod to Biggie (“It was all a dream, and I still ain’t tryin’ to wake up / I used to read Billboard magazine, now I’m on page one.”), the rapper proceeds to deliver a rundown of all the reasons his life is the bomb – from LA. sun and New York nights to beautiful women and top-shelf liquors – and Marsha Ambrosius tops it all off with some fittingly luxuriant chorus vocals. There’s no doubt about it: Mickey Factz has come a long way. Fans so inclined can celebrate along with him by copping his Heaven’s Fallout re-release when it arrives on the ‘net later this week.

First, congrats to Ms. Marsha on the release of her debut album... out today. Moving forward, songs like "For The Culture," with or without great accompanying vocals from Ambrosius, are exactly the type of songs Mickey needs to make. His haunting, grime records are interesting, but their appeal is stunted.

Mickey has grown so much in the four years and is still slept on in my opinion. Perfect marketing since Marsha's debut is out now and the spotlight (in R&B) is on her.

On a track called For the Culture I wish Mickey had spoken a little more about hip-hop culture, not focusing as much on money, women and booze, but this is still a great mix of hip-hop and r&b. Marsha makes everything sound better.
