Underground NYC rapper Mickey Factz is way cooler than you are.
The video for a new track, “Rockin’ N’ Rollin’,” featuring The Cool Kids leaked onto youtube (and we hear Mickey is not happy about it). You can download Mickey’s new album, Heaven’s Fallout, for free here, and his latest, The Leak Vol 1: The Understanding, [...]
