From the streets of the metropolis of the world, when asked if he'll be bringing New York hip-hop back he simply replies, "Why bring it back, when I can move it forward." This progression forward, the evolution of the music is what he embodies, and the cultural embodiment of that movement is what he is the voice of; GFCnewyork.
Born in the Bronx, the birthplace of hip-hop, Mickey Factz was exposed to music at an early age. As a child his father would rap to him, untill soon enough Factz would start reciting his own rhymes. Mickey watched music videos, studying the performances of his favorite artists. This combination led Factz, at the early age of 8, into a love affair with hip-hop that continues to thrive till this day.
As hip-hop has culturally evolved from it's original days, of the b-boys to that of the d-boys and so forth. Mickey Factz has been steadily crafting what he's coined as "Uber" music. When asked what "Uber" music is, he gestures at the sky and says, "undeniable global music...I don't care where in the world you are, you're rockin' to this shit." To Factz hip-hop music in it's truest essence is about being able to rock out on any track like the forefathers did and currently that lack there of in the genre is what's stagnating its growth. "The music my generation and younger are listening to has expanded beyond funk and soul, we're listening to rock, electronic, house and so forth. I'm always going to be clever with the wordplay and lyrics, but very few rappers can do that on a Royskopp record. That's the lane I ride in. I'm going to do me, and trust, you'll love me for it."
Taking actions into his own hands, he and a several a like individuals, formed GFCnewyork to breed new blood and breath into New York street-culture. Instead of putting his music and career in the hands of folks who don't see the progression and lack the understanding of how to nurture the culture, GFCnewyork would be the movement that would. "We're in a new age of hip-hop where limitations are those imposed by the artist, themselves. Not the labels, not the radio, and not the mass merchant retailers. Everybody's looking to point fingers and blame the other one, instead of the man in the mirror. There are endless amounts of resources and networks at our disposal. My music will get to the masses whether it be through traditional or non-traditional mediums. It'll be the day when something or someone other than myself stops my progress." His confidence and destined outlook on his music and career, is why Mickey's in full control.
"In evolution, only the strong survive. Those unable to adapt to a changing platform or culture, will be left extinct. So I am what you would refer to as, Natural Selection." Having dropped 3 critically acclaimed mixtapes, currently being courted by labels seeking his energy and movement, and his work alongside cultural advocates and trendsetters, his intentions are for longevity as he focuses on building his music, persona and movement into a brand present in today and tomorrow's street and pop culture. His lyrical prowess and music has placed him in a class all on his own. Mickey Factz is determined on positioning himself amongst a league of legends. He's here to rep the true essence of hip-hop culture and expand upon it's definition worldwide, till the whole world is screaming, "IT'Z MICKEY!"
