What's good? It's your friendly neighborhood MiC K!NG (aka iCON the Mic King) here with an update on the progress of the new album "Flavor Ade" featuring Slug of Atmosphere, eLZHi of Slum Village and Has-Lo!
Good afternoon folks! It's another one of those lazy Sundays. Actually, being lazy on Sunday is still kinda new to me to be honest. Without a 9 to 5 everyday essentially has the same value so really I have no excuse to take a day off hahha!
I was thinking that I could explain this but what's the fun in that? One of the things I love the most about how I write is that different people can get different things from it. It's like I make jigsaw puzzles and deliver them without the box so you have to come up with your own idea of how it's supposed to look ultimately or you can figure out exactly what it was to me when I wrote it. Making a video adds a whole new dimension to it though...makes it more definitive...but even so I feel like the video is still kinda open ended... I said all of that to say this: We're in a very interactive internet world so instead of explaining it...what I'm gonna do is post the rhyme and you guys can just ask me whatever you want about the verse and video and we can discuss it. So, let's see what happens! Hit me! peace -M-i-C to the K-!-N-G

Anyway I'm here to tell you about my new video "Drifting with the Tide" ft. Awar. It dropped on Thursday and the song is produced by the homey Vanderslice. The video is directed by Matt Hobbs. The enchanting Lilibeth Perez plays the mermaid and Natalia Estevez plays herself but doesn't really "play herself"...what I mean is she plays Awar's girl which she also is in real life hahahhaa. Jonathan Eckels handles both of their makeup. Tony Fazio and a bunch of other heads that who ain't on my facebook friends list helped out as well. Chum was moral support as well hahahaha. Oh and Awar is driving my car - holla! If you haven't seen it yet, you can check for it here:
Choices are: Sink or Swim her way when trying to follow a mermaid I'm breathing underwater, didn't prep for an earthquake Observe fate, my ship had wrecked in the first place Caught in the undertow, attempting to turn the tide Tide turned to a tsunami, sucked in my sunken ghost Now cursing my birth date, black holes for star qualities Converted in flawed alchemy, drowned in "he doesn't know"s Really?....Fuck it though Love ahoy and it's first rate right, or was it a "must avoid?" The tip of the iceberg, stuck from the Crux of Joy Nosedives from so high, water morphed to concrete Lovebirds take flight, only to crash soft-ly Surfs up, Riding the wave despite Moon's mercy pleas Combing ore from the ocean floor, but produced Mercury So until she find a way to come up from the mist Catch me, drifting away, on water under the bridge Oh yeah, also feel free to leave feedback on the song and video as well...I very much would like to know what you guys think!
p.s. Feel free to post the video and share it...that's what we made it for hahaha
