Mikkey Halsted - The Exorcist
Artist: Mikkey Halsted
Producer: No I.D.
Album: DarkRoom LP
Label: Uncrowned City/Rich Kidz Ent.
Sometimes a song’s title tells you everything you need to know. For example, Mikkey Halsted‘s new single is called The Exorcist, and even a brief listen will easily reveal why. With a frightening organ solo that gives you an instantly eerie feeling, the song starts out like a mix of soundtracks from the Rocky Horror Picture Show and, well, The Exorcist. However, when producer No I.D‘s chopped up organ notes are introduced alongside a banging drum beat, it all comes together dopely. On the mic, with his vivid imagery and lyricism, you can almost picture the rap game being a possessed little girl, and Mikkey coming in to save her soul. But the Chicago vet doesn’t do this with prayers, but with a smooth flow mixed with raw lyrics and sharp punchlines. If Mikkey keeps dropping records like this as he prepares for the release of his DarkRoom LP, set to drop in December, than let me be the first to reserve my copy. With Mickey as the exorcist and the DarkRoom as his Bible, maybe we can finally chase away all of hip-hop’s demons after all.

Chicago connections or not, producer No I.D. doesn't just collaborate with anyone. You have to be DOPE. Period. This explains why the iconic beatsmith has taken such a liking to Mikkey, whose held down the Chi for what seems like forever these days.
"The Exorcist" probably won't be enough, by itself, to help Mik gather a heard of new fans, but for longtime supporters and educated hip hop fans it will be more than enough to suffice.

No I.D. was the highlight of the track, and if Mikkey keeps rappin like this, he'll be blowing up. Hip hop fans will love it, everyone else, no telling.

I have to say, I was a little disapointed by Mikkey's last effort, First Class. It sounded far too commercial for my tastes. But this? This is much more like what I was looking for. When the man comes with it, he's one of the best. Dopeness.

Solid Hip Hop shit. NO I.D. can do no wrong and Mik sounds good. Feel like you lose focus on what Mik's saying a lil bit. Lyrics are a lil wordy like not instantly catchy or easy to remember, over rapping a bit. This is dope though
