[WHAT]

“It’s time to strap on your Compton hats and locs and celebrate the music and legacy of one of the greatest Hip-Hop artists of all time, the icon responsible for introducing the world to acts as diverse asN.W.A., Snoop Dogg, The D.O.C., Eminem, J.J. Fad, 50 Cent, Arabian Prince, and so many more. It’s Dre Day 2010 and everybody’s celebratin’!” - Ground Lift Media

If you hear the signature “Hiiiooooo” Mic Terror aka “Black Bart Simpson” is in the house. Known for his real life lyricism that is based on his everyday thoughts and encounters, Mic Terror’s flow is comedic, energetic and straight forward. Catching the eye of MIA, Travis from Gym Class Heroes and Flosstradamus, we’re looking forward to the collabs and new tracks Mic Terror will bring us in 2011. Grab the newest joint The Late Pass album mixed by the homie MattBoyWhite from the Midnight Rockers Crew.

“There is an eclectic contingent of jazz heads, hip hop kids, vinyl junkies, and classic rockers that frequented the infamous parties and late-night studio sessions held within the smoke filled, brick-walled confines of Chicago’s West Town Recording. The Jordan Years’ dusty, smoky, soulful grooves became the unofficial soundtrack. They are an ode to the golden age of Motown, the DIY ethic of the new music business, and the winning spirit held within their city’s heritage.” – A few words from GLM about The Jordan Years.

Shouts to Fly Kite Media for the footage.
