Mic Tyson

Longstanding indie-rap favorite Sean Price has been around since the mid-\'90s, when he debuted (under the name Ruck) as half of the Boot Camp Clik group Heltah Skeltah. Both of his previous solo albums (*Monkey Barz* and *Jesus Price Superstar*) were embraced by the underground, which is still intoxicated by P\'s relentlessly ruffneck verses. Effortlessly balancing Brooklyn trash talk and chuckle-inducing punchlines, he\'s one of New York\'s most charismatic emcees. And he keeps getting better with each release. On *Mic Tyson*, he hits us with another batch of hardcore but funny and streetwise wordplay, attacking corny rappers and tight pants–wearing cheeseballs. He rides neck-bending beats while collaborating with like-minded homies Buckshot, Ill Bill, Ruste Juxx, Pumpkinhead, Pharoahe Monch, and Torae. If you\'re already a fan, this has everything you know and love about P. If you\'re new to his BK style, this is a perfect intro. Don\'t miss \"Price & Shining Armor,\" \"Frankenberry,\" \"Bar-Barian,\" and \"The Hardest N\*gga Out.\"

The long wait for Sean Price's solo effort Mic Tyson was due to the birth of the rapper's son, but career-wise, plenty happened between this one and 2007's Jesus Price Supastar.
