.More Fresher Than The Produce Section.
Hola Digheads! This week, Mike and Josh are joined by rapper, beat maker extraordinaire, and comedian - Mickey Freeland aka Mickey Free!
Mickey started rapping in a suburb of Baltimore in his early teens. Although he didn’t fully dedicate himself to music until after he dropped out of college, Mickey quickly gained some notoriety in the underground hip hop scene when he produced the track, “C.O.D.,” for rapper Big Pooh in 2009. Mickey followed that up with his solo album, “The Last of the Tight Wiggers” under the moniker “Mickey Free” in 2010. Which is available for only 5 bones here!
2011 was the year Mickey joined the super-group “Shark Tank,” which featured longtime collaborator Height, Grunge of Pittsburgh’s Grand Buffet, and Canada’s Brendan Richmond. In 2012, Mickey helped produce tracks for Jen Wasner of Wye Oak’s solo project, Flock of Dimes. And along the way he started telling jokes into microphones. Busy man!
During this ep, Mickey discusses some of the aforementioned facts, and his plans for the future as comedian / musician / creative person as he wrestles with his anxiety of touring and the possibilities of “not making it.”
We also discuss a number of topics during this episode including, but not limited to: Kangol hats, rat tails, TV losing it’s middle class, how there ain’t no shame anymore, x-ray iPhones, rat tails, Batman symbol shaved in the back of Josh’s head, and so much more!
