Kevin Nottingham helps the best rapper take aim

The good folks at KevinNottingham.com help introduce you to MiC K!NG!

They say:

Hailing from Philadelphia,  MiC K!NG (formerly iCON the Mic King) has had a long career and first gained notoriety on the battle circuit. Winner of several rap battle competitions around the globe, MiC K!NG proved his ability to create lyrics on the spot, and achieved success in this arena until 2001, when he officially retired from battling to pursue composition and recording as a solo artist. In 2004, he released his first studio album Intricate Spectrum and has since released Mike and the Fatman and Rent Money Music II: C-Notes for the Car Note. His latest release, Flavor Ade with producer Chum as the group Cool Aide, MiC K!NG shows that he’s in this game for good.

Skope Mag gives Flavor Ade a 4 out of 5

The music industry may be asleep…well on vacation…they sleep on us even when they are are at work…but the reviews for Flavor Ade keep coming in! The good folks at Skope Magazine gave us a 4 out of 5!

Cool Aide, a refreshing hip-hop duo featuring MiC K!NG (f/k/a iCON the Mic King) and Chum (f/k/a Chum the Skrilla Guerilla),  now holds a permanent spot in my iTunes library.  In what will hopefully be the first of many releases by Cool Aide, “Flavor Ade” starts with “Snake Oil”, a track that wastes little time before hitting the ground running with a fun, upbeat feel…and even a mention of Cobra Commander!

They go on to give an pretty thorough play by play of the album only faltering when they fail to realize “I’m All That 2009″ is in fact a remake of a Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince track.

Shouts to Skope Magazine. Thanks for the love!

MiC K!NG tells you why you can't find the album

Last week on the eve of our release date I stayed up all night making a video explaining what I don’t like about dealing with indie distributors. This was certainly not a direct shot at my current distribution, because I did it the night before our album came out.

However, here it is a week later and a lot of the things I said in this video do unfortunately stand true. I’m not complaining right now because a lot of people have gone out of their way to find the record in whatever way it took them to do so and I very much appreciate them for it.

With that said, head over to Urb.com and check out the “Top 5 Reasons Indie Distro Sucks.”

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support us and the new record!

DJ Booth.Net Loves "Snake Oil"

The good folks at DJBooth.Net showed big love to “Snake Oil” ft. Slug of Atmosphere on our new “Flavor Ade” release.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to hop in the DeLorean and take a trip back to the ‘90s. MiC K!ng & Chum, making their first appearance on the Booth, are here to deliver their new single, Snake Oil, a Marty McFly joint off their recently released album, Flavorade. K!ng puts his rhyming skills to use over some throwback production from Chum, keeping the energy high with witty, lyrical content that at times can get pretty heavy…

Head over to DJBooth.net and leave your comments on the track!
