MIC BOYD RELEASES DEBUT FULL LENGTH ALBUM
LOST IN THE WOODS OUT FEBRUARY 26 ON HALFLIFE RECORDS/EMI
You might recognize Mic Boyd from his collaborations with big brother Classified on tracks like ‘Sibling Rivalry’, ‘Live It Up’, ‘Ain’t Hard To Find’ and fan favorite ‘It’s Sickening.’ Or perhaps you were lucky enough to catch him on the ‘While You Were Sleeping’ cross Canada tour that just wrapped up – selling out venues across thecountry. But what you definitely haven’t heard is his debut full-length album Lost in theWoods.
February 26 marks the release of Mic’s 14 track album that combines catchy hooks with pectacularly witty lyricism entirely produced by Class himself. Lost in the Woods and each of its brilliantly written songs invoke insight and emotion through the use of storytelling, clever raps and humor. With the launch of the first single and video for the track ‘Guess Who’s Back’ Mic Boyd is sure to become a standout figure in Canadian hip hop.After the success of his debut effort,
The Ten Bux EP (2003), Mic has been steadily perfecting his skills, performing on 3 nationwide tours, and has shared the stage with acts including Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, The Game, Maestro, Choclair, Good Charlotte, and Alexisonfire.‘If you’ve lost faith in rap music, if you want to listen to something that reminds you of the passion, intensity of the old-school, while still managing to be fresh, relevant, and withoutartifice, I wholeheartedly recommend Mic Boyd. 9/10” – Confront Magazinewww.halfliferecords.ca/micboydwww.myspace.com/themicboyd
