STRAIGHT FROM NYC - EMCEE MIKEY D FROM MAIN SOURCE + KING OF THE BEATS CHALLENGE - LIVE!
Mikey D is one the greatest MC’s that ever blessed the mic. A legend from Queens New York.
Why is he so important? It was Mikey D who’s famed New Music Seminar battle with Melle Mel paved the way for the newness and change in style of MC’s in Hip Hop. It was that landmark moment that let the world know that MC’s like himself KRS-1, Rakim & Kool G Rap were here & here to stay.
