Mic-Nif Biography
- Mic-Nif (real name Jon Tarifa) was born and raised in Tirana, Albania in 1983. At the age of 10 he moved to North Carolina, US with his family which is where he got acquainted with Hip Hop music. Five years later, he followed his family to the Netherlands. After realising that he had a passion for rapping, he decided to step foot in the music scene himself.
It all started in the year 2000, when Mic-Nif formed a hip hop collective called Luminous Twinz with rhyme partner DNA, which is where he began his career as an MC. In 2002, the Luminous Twinz, were the winners of the Young Creative Minds Award on MTV (NL) with the song Stolen Lives. As time passed, Mic-Nif stepped foot in the Dutch freestyle battle scene, and in 2003, he was the winner of the Main Freestyle Battle Event of The Hague, NL.
In 2004, Mic-Nif began recording his debut solo album Distortion of the Truth (album released on September7, 2007), featuring artists such as Ahab, Pape Mann, Khaoz, Tommy 2 Times, and Vivian. That same year, he teamed up with a relatively well-known Hip Hop group from the Netherlands, called NuClear Family, and a year later, they released their second album Nucelar Fission where Mic-Nif played a steady role. The album was awarded best album of The Hague (NL) in 2005.
Together with the NuClear Family, Mic-Nif performed for fairly big crowds and has opened for numerous well known Hip Hop artists, namely; Guru (Gangstarr), Promoe (Loop Troop), Jus Allah (Jedi Mind Tricks), Insight, Wu Tang Killa Bees and Delinquent Habits, just to name a few. In 2006, stepped out of NuClear family and reunited with his former rhyme parter DNA and Mental Stamina (from the band R.O.O.O.M.) and created a new live Hip Hop band called L4 (Looking 4ward). At the moment, L4 is busy recording their first album ‘Counting Coins’ and taking on large festivals in the Netherlands.
In addition, Mic-Nif has performed on numerous large stages in different cities throughout the Netherlands (Park Pop Festival 2006 and 2008, Koninginnenach The Hague 2006 and 2008, Pure Jazz Festival 2008, Grote Prijs ZH 2005, The Hague Hip Hop Festival 2004 - 2008, Haschiba Festival 2006 and 2008, Paard van Troje, Melkweg, Asta, 013, LVC, Night Town and many more).

Es ist seit Tag eins Fakt , dass ich Dir nachwein.. Ich sitz die ganze Nacht allein vor einem Glas Wein Ich wollt doch stark sein - doch shit ich werd schon wieder schwach Ich weiss noch nichtmal ob es hilft , dass ich hier Lieder mach
Hörst Du mein Herz schlagen ? Es muss den Schmerz tragen. Es würd..Dir gern was sagen und Dir deinen Wert verraten Es will deinen Namen laut singen in jeder Melodie Doch mein Auge weint , weil es nichts an deiner Stelle sieht
Deine Lücke schliesst nie , das ist mir bewusst doch ich verfalle immer wieder tiefer in das gleiche Muster obwohl icvh keine Lust hab , werd..ich jeden Morgen wach Du fehlst und es quält mich stetig die enorme Last
Mich macht die Sorge schwach , dass ich Dich nie wieder seh.. Dass die Zeit ohne Dich und ohne Licht hier nie vergeht Mir tun die Füße weh - kann ich deine Flügel nehm.. Wie soll ich die Probleme in meim..Leben überstehen ?
Willst Du wissen , wie der Text weiter geht ? Dann schau doch in mein erstes Musikvideo rein :)
Schreib mir wenn Du Zeit und Lust hast , was du davon hälst :)
