Mickey factz

Mickey Williams (born July 13, 1985), also known by his stage name Mickey Factz, is an American hip hop artist from Bronx, NY.
History
Mickey Factz has been releasing free downloadable mixtapes since 2006. In the winter of 2007, he broke out reaching worldwide praises with the release of “Heaven’s Fallout.” On “Heaven’s Fallout,” Mickey Factz took us on his internal search for clarity and meaning in his journey towards self-enlightenment. We listened intently as the abstract psyche of an artist came into full focus as he confided in us about his aspirations, relationships, and vices. Laying his narrative over an eclectic array of music from alternative to rock to electronic while still embracing his foundations, Mickey Factz christens “Heaven’s Fallout” as the genesis of the new sound of hip-hop for a new generation.
To follow up “Heaven’s Fallout” success, at the top of ’08 Mickey Factz began to virally release a track every week for free, as part of a series called “The Leak.” The buzz from “The Leak” grew tremendously as every blogger and media outlet from Nahright.com, Hypebeast.com, XXLmag.com and so forth began covering and following it, waiting to see what new music Mickey had for the public. “The Leak” series would soon manifest, “The Leak Vol. 1: The Understanding” and “The Leak Vol. 2: The Inspiration” mixtapes. A 1 standing for Mickey’s “Machine Gun” on the list of “Songs to Download Now” in the August 2008 SPIN Magazine, topping the likes of songs by RadioHead, Maino, and others. A campaign entitled “Incredible,” where artists such as Tyga, The Mad Rapper, Naledge of Kidz N The Hall, and others jumped on Mickey’s “Incredible” instrumental; having it proclaimed freestyle beat of the year, second to only Lil Wayne’s “A Milli.”
Outside of his onslaught of free music for the people, Mickey Factz collaborated with The Cool Kids on his unofficial single, “Rockin N Rollin (Remix)” which made its way onto MTV2, MTVjams, MTVu, and Music Choice. He’s performed at notable venues such as BB Kings, SOBs, The Knitting Factory, and others. Also Mickey’s been chosen to be one of the faces for Rocksmith Tokyo, a Japanese clothing brand. He’s begun cementing the Supra sneaker brand as this generation’s, “My Adidas.” And has graced the pages of several national publications such as VIBE, the Fader, SPIN, GIANT, and XXL which named him one of ten artists to check for in 2009 along with Kid Cudi, Wale, Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth, Ace Hood, , Blu, B.o.B, and Cory Gunz. All of this while continuing to build a brand and movement, GFCnewyork, which people can once again champion like they did the Bad Boys and Rocafellas.
Current career
Mickey Factz is currently working on his album The New Museum, which was previously known as The Achievement.
