Mic Hog

 

  • Mic Hog was born on the third day of the sixth month in 1983, the year of the Hog, in Phoenix Arizona. He was a very troubled child. He spent quite a few of his younger year locked away in mental health and correction facilities in the valley of the sun. When he turned 18 he set out to take the world by storm... through hip hop music. He started almost immediatly on his first record in Flagstaff with his new found friend Zack (Znd of the Dez Ratz). They played around with freestlying and making beats for a few months, then Kris moved from Flag. to Phoenix. Kris stayed in the valley for a few months then returned to Flag. Upon his return he met Troy, DESTROY, and began the transformation from Kris to Mic Hog. Everyday freestyling over ill ass cuts from roomate Kyle, DJ ENRMS.But like all good things in life; shit happens.Troy got arrested and Kyle got drunk, so Mic Hog set out alone to Phx, again. It was the second time he was then Mic met up with Zack again. Together again the two made the 'Radio Riot' album.

  • Well that was five years ago, today Mic Hog has worked with many different producers (Konsent, Foundation of the Drunken Immortals, Beta 7 of the Orcestra Crew, NON Verbal, DJ Kool Zic, Midwest Monopoly,MG The Visionary,etc...) as wells producing intrumentals himself as well and recenlty working on tracks with DESTROY again!

  • On a side note Mic has been "homeless" for 3 of the last 5 year. Working side jobs when he can and selling his albums hand to hand on the hot streets of Phoenix, AZ. is how he gets by. Also with the help of friends floors and couches to sleep on. So with 3 albums under his belt and a 4th on the horizon, good things are going to happen.

Review for 'Year of the Hog'

"Like Minded presents Mic Hog, a spaztik kid out of Arizona with a lot to say. Now don't get me wrong, this isn't some Eminem wannabe who thinks just because he's got a few tracks on a myspace account means he's a bona fide rapper. With upbeat production to compliment his sarcastic sense of humor as he tries to keep a straight face about being from a place you wouldn't expect to hear good hip hop from, Year of the Hog is definitely an honest man's take on looking at this music from the outside in...and being aware of it rather than faking the fuck out of it. He's not unlike a lot of your favorite underground rappers...he's a professional couch surfer at this point, he slangs his cd's on the streets of Phoenix, he hands people their asses in a cypher, complains about everything and walks around with a backpack and a chip on his shoulder. Jokes aside when the content calls for a more serious tone on the album Mic Hog switches it up nicely talking about his personal life, love and lies, the government and the daily struggle just to get heard. Apparently there's an EP coming out with An Hobbes (of Awkwords) and Mic Hog called Hog and Hobbes...hopefully that'll be next for Like Minded in '08!" - accesshiphop.com
