  Mikkey Halsted Teaches a Class on “Obamanomics” (Listen & Download)

  Filed under Download, Mikkey Halsted, No I.D.

  First and foremost, holy shit that's a dope beat from No I.D. I'd love to know when it was made, because it sounds like something that could have come straight off Kanye's "Graduation". Considering his work on Common's album, Nas' album and now this, No I.D.'s killing if. Listen and download...See more...

• Off the Bench: Mikkey Halsted Talks NBA, Celts vs. Heat Goes 7 Games & More (Podcast)

  In Game 6 of the Boston/Miami series, Lebron did something that no one else has done since Wilt did it in 1964, he went for 45 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assist. Now I’m not sure if he was on bath salts or what, but despite all the Lebron slander that goes on, the boy deserves his props. See more...See more...

  Music That Means Something: Mikkey Halsted ft. Lupe Fiasco “Gone” (Listen & Download)

  Filed under Downloads, Lupe Fiasco, Mikkey Halsted

  I don't need fellow Chicago veterans Mikkey Halsted and Lupe Fiasco to be constantly serious, there's nothing wrong with a good time, but let's be real - both emcees are at their best when tackling subjects that truly matter - and it's hard to find a subject that matters more than "Gone".

  I was perusing the interwebs late last night when I cam across the tweet above from Chicago emcee Mikkey Halsted. If you don't think that's the kind of statement I'm going to take way too seriously and break down in-depth, you're obviously not a citizen of RefinedHype Nation. See more...See more...

  SMKA, Bobby Creekwater, Mikkey Halsted & Donny Goines Do it “For the People” (Listen & Download)

  I can't front, I'm a big fan of what Atlanta crew SMKA is doing. They've essentially turned themselves into a small label, except they do all the smart things the labels are too old and big to figure out - like releasing giant compilation projects featuring all in-house production from 808s Blake.

  I know, I know, not another weekly series. While I'm as tired of WhatEverTheFuckYourNameIs Thursdays as anyone, The Kidz in the Hall have made too much dope music not to be given the benefit of the doubt, and weekly series or not, their new joint 'I Pledge Allegiance to the Dope".

  Getting in just under the wire, Mikkey Halsted comes through with a Posse Cut of the Year nominee (goddamnit, that totally should have been a RF Awards category) in the form of "Runnin' My City", a good old fashioned posse cut featuring Bun B, Killer Mike, Crooked I, Chip Tha Ripper, Mistah F.A.B & Gillie Da Kid. Gillie's obviously the Chris Bosh of this situation, right? Listen and download....

  Mikkey Halsted is the “Best you nEver Heard” (Mixtape Listen & Download)

  I know my Chicago people will want to revoke my hip-hop pass for saying this, but it wasn't until the "On My Own" video that Mikkey Halsted really popped up on my rhyme radar. Apparently I'm not the only one who's been sleeping on Mikkey because the man's now released "Best You nEver Heard", a mixtape that recaps the last few years of Mikkey's catalog, from his short-lived Cash Money days to Kanye West producer tracks.

  Freddie Gibbs & Mikkey Halsted Can Make It “On My Own” (Video)

  In just the last couple of months Freddie Gibbs has gone from an unknown to one oy personal favorite up-and-comers, and if I have to explain why after you watch his new collabo video with Mikkey Halsted "On My Own", I don't know what to tell you. The first official release of Maja 7th's upcoming album "The Breakout", "On My Own" is easily my favorite track of the day, and the video, filmed in the emcees' respective hometowns of Chicago and Gary, Indiana, ain't too shabby either.
