Mickey Factz - Flying Balloons

Producer: Cookin' Soul

Album: Cookin Soul & NahRight Present: 1:00 A.M. And Rising

Label: GFCnewyork/Battery Records

On their 1:00 A.M. and Rising mixtape, production trio Cookin’ Soul will team up with NahRight.com to present a 12-track tribute to the grind, with each cut representing one hour on the clock. What time of day does this newly-leaked record, Mickey Factz’ Flying Balloons correspond to? My first thought was ‘early afternoon,’ but the chilly organ chords at the center of the track’s mellow instrumental sound a little late-night, as does the NY emcee’s “...fly to the moon” hook. That’s all speculation, though, and Factz’ characteristically clever, endlessly quotable rhymes make this cut an enjoyable listen no matter the hour—I have no clue what it means to be “the Barack Obama of online drama,” but that line’s going to be on repeat in my head for a good long while. Brimming with laid-back old-school appeal, Flying Balloon is sure to leave fans wondering what else Cookin’ Soul have cooked up for their forthcoming mixtape (scheduled to drop in the next few weeks). And don’t forget: Factz is set to step into the Booth with an exclusive freestyle sometime in July.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11866	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs This is one of those records where I like all the elements, just not together. Mickey always does his thing on the mic (dope lines, enjoyable cadence, good voice) and the CS production is wonderful with the live instrumentation. Separate, they'd sound great. Together, the end result is awkward. Rotation... Follow @DJBooth

ultimate hip-hop Tastemaker Total Ratings: 687	Rating: ultimate hip-hop's Top Rated Songs The production did somewhat out of place with the lyrics. Either way Mickey Factz keeps impressing with the lyrics. Rotation worthy

Mr.Top Hat Tastemaker Total Ratings: 4267	Rating: Mr.Top Hat's Top Rated Songs Cookin Soul brings out a really vibrant beat with a jazzy undercurrent, totally diggin it & Mickey plays his part effortlessly & kicks some interesting lines. I been a fan for a minute of Cookin Soul (& 6th Sense) & they never disappoints.
