Mike Check - Beastly
Artist: Mike Check
Producer: Will Guardian
Album: Stars, Dreams & Elbow Grease
Label: Unsigned
Plenty of rappers play up their lyrical aggression by comparing themselves to various ferocious animal, but when Booth newcomer Mike Check describes himself as Beastly, he means it literally. The Big Apple underground spitter’s latest single and music video finds him taking the “monster rapper” trope to its logical conclusion, painting himself (also literally) as the kind of malevolent creature that inspires villagers to bust out the pitchforks and torches. As he chronicles his murderous rampage, producer Will Guardian amps up the atmosphere with sinister piano loops and sampled screams, and The Graphyte drives the point home with his old-school horror flick inspired visuals. Stars, Dreams & Elbow Grease currently lacks a solid release date, but fans can expect the project before the end of the year.

 I half-heartedly (yes, I just made that word up) watched this video the first time and thought it was unusual, bizarre and mediocre. I decided to let it run a second time, without watching the video and it was like I was listening to a different record. Dude can spit, but the insane visuals are slightly distracting. Watch... twice if you have time haha.

Song is fire, and I'm a HARD sell. I hear a lot running a record label. It's the unorthodox style and technique that definitely makes this a great listen and watch.

This video is a Beast!!! Mike Check is a monster with lyrical skills to back it up. He has talent,presence and is a superstar in the making.This video beats most of the garbage on BET and Youtube. It has crazy value, I wonder what the budget was to make it. 5stars goes to Mike Check-5stars goes to the director and 5stars goes to the director of photography who captured the visuals.
Keep doing what your doing!!! |

this song is not only lyrically ill, but its video was entertaining and original. I thought he really spit with authority and gave the audience something new and hott...it also sticks to hip hops roots and doesnt find itself falling into the same hole most new radio rap does. I find myself looking for records like this one because i find that todays rap is so repetitive and lame...The newest and realest thing i've heard in a while. Keep it coming.

Mike is not only incredibly talented, but an all around amazing guy, especially to work with! I got to hear the song a bit earlier than most, being the makeup artist in this project, and I couldn't get the lyrics out of my head for days! Keep it up, Mike, you're awesome!

Love the track. Love the dude. Very strong team and very talented. If Mike Check put as much work into anything else he could be an astronaut. He breathes, eats and shits the music. Never lets anyone say shit to slow him down. Seriously we should envy this kids drive. I know I do. Don't stop now my friend.

Whats a song without the video to help illustrate the story. "Beastly" is a throwback to when videos where still considered an art form, not a show and tell of who's got the biggest yacht or the most exotic car. With a little imagination and a lot of elbow grease, we created a blend of off the wall visuals, classic story telling and sexy horror. To sum it up…its Mike Check open the door!

Beastly lives up to its name--beat is sick, flow is tight, and the video does not disappoint. Like Check himself, the track is pure energy from the jump. Mix in fresh visuals, a skillful edit, and plenty of elbow grease, and you’ve got a video you can’t take your eyes off. Mike Check is a beast. And if you don’t know, now you know...

Anyone watching this video or hearing Mike Check for the first time is sure to be caught off guard . The lyrical talent of Mike Check meshed into another sick track by Will Guardian is what hit songs are made of . The Visuals and story line of this video bring a different element into hip hop videos as we've known them .
This sends " the bottle of Henny on the table " into Caveman times and can very well spark a trend in the Hip Hop underground as well as The Mainstream. |

Michael Check is an iron-fisted titan of the art form. He is a very kind dude as well. I saw him open the door for an elderly person and it was complete selflessness in action. Zero ego. Back to the music; he slays many an artist. He is an EMT of the game. He will fix this broken game of brand-name dropping and car advertisements. Love his passion and creativity.
Nuff' respect. |

The video great, and the song is great. Would have added the last star if the themes of the two connected.
