New Mexico Everythang

“When people ask where my roots are, I look down at my feet and I see the roots of my soul grasping the earth. They are here in the southwest…. I still live in New Mexico”

There is an immeasurable level level of pride one must have to carry their state with them everywhere. To believe that they are from a place and that place is also inherently tied back to them as well. That they are a mirror of that culture and are not separate from the culture but they contribute to it, in a profound and meaningful way.

The artist spoken of is M.I.C. and they are New Mexico hip hop. They have consistently been in figure in the New Mexico music scene and have paved the way for younger artists as well. Not only an OG in the scene but also a participant that has been a strong supporter of artists being paid their worth for shows. He has also been noted to give artists their flowers when respect is due. They are synonymous with New Mexico hip hop.

Their latest track New Mex Everythang has a sound that is reminiscent of an early 2000 era in which production had a unified Southern sound that traveled from the deep South all the way to West Texas and New Mexico. The content of the song is self referencing and is a narrative of the way of life in New Mexico for someone who is ride or die for their culture. Some Spanglish lyrics to appropriately represent the culture of the State. The hook is catchy and this could very easily be the anthem for the State. Check out the latest work from the man M.I.C. and show some New Mexico support for our very own homegrown artist.
