Myka 9’s stuff from over 20 years ago, is cutting edge hip hop in any time. Dude can sing, chop, go deep, freestyle, and write lyrics at the highest levels. He also has so many unique styles and many really good albums. Absolute living legend, who still comes out with new material to this day. He lives hip hop. Few have been active in hip hop as long as him.
Bro you have a whole world of underground Hiphop to discover from the west coast. Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, Peace, Self Jupiter, 2mex, Bus Driver, Idea, and the list goes on.
Busta ciphered with Myka 9 in 1992... Myka was already freestyling and chopping, and Busta wasn't yet. Myka was in the crew where the term "chopping" was invented.
@@JPLMONEY23 It was a Rappinstine song so they took it off when they limited the album to NWA tracks. Myka not only wrote the lyrics, he taught them the cadence & flow. "Scream" was bubbling on LA radio and people were hearing about this high school kid Microphone Mike.
Definitely check out more from him & Freestyle Fellowship. His “7th Seal” and “5 o’clock Follies” from ‘91 were landmarks of style. Denzel Curry mentioned being inspired by “7th Seal”
if you didn't know Myka9 and Freestyle Fellowship set the foundation for Bone Thugs, Kendrick, Tech9, Slug, Hiero, Talib Kweli, etc. and they will ALL ADMIT IT.
JAZZ: here in our home of Africa Town aka Leimert Park Village - we are surround by and raised by (community-wise) many, many, many, great and notable jazz and blues pioneers. so Myka like many of us are also jazz enthusiasts. JMD, legendary jazz drummer of The Underground Railroad band, oversaw production + consulted on many of Myka + Kendrick Lamar's sessions. yes, K-Dot acknowledges Myka-9. as well as Kamasi Washington + that guy that sometimes does records records with Mos Def.
Myka 9 is from the Freestyle Fellowship.... definitely worth a listen. Early 90's LA, Sacramento and Bay Area Artists were wild.... FF, Pharcyde, Luniz, Souls of Mischief, Del, Casual, Hobo Junction, Blackalicious etc.. all dope. Overlooked due to the whole Gangsta Rap, West vs East, G-Funk flood that dominated the era.
Myka 9 is a hip hop GODfather! Bro created so many styles, one of the founders of “the chop” which you could say evolved into trap music. Also listen to his style on the song ‘Mary’, some say Bone thugs were heavily influenced and maybe even kinda bit Myka…learn more of Myka 9 and his story m.th-cam.com/users/MilkcratesMicrophones
I’m glad you found it interesting. I love Micah 9!! Try all the other early mid 90’s west coast underground it’s very diverse. I’m from L.A. so I might be bias 😂
People compare him to jazz because of the improvisation, and he can make his raps sound like instruments, especially his older work you hear it regularly.
The Goat .. also his crewmate AceyAlone from Freestyle Fellowship ! Myka is one of the greatest mc's of all time. Bizzy Bone and Bone Thugs N Harmony took that style from Freestyle Fellowship ! The only difference is the beats they rhyme over.
HM has an 'impossible level' of legwork and memorization. But. He's not dope. Like at all. I just feelin surly atm, lol, but myka - definitively dope. Original dope. All metrics together? Myka is really untouchable, as big a fan of aes, driver, dose etc I still gots to give it to the absurdly versatile o.g. who still puttin out pantheon crushing material. K. Got that off my chest. 🎧

He can even toast with a Jamaican patois decently

Especially Busdriver developed such a unique style. But yeah Aceyalone is my top1.

My man p !!!!
Yes this is true ... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Big up one love :)))
Plus he ghost wrote 1 track called Scream in a NWA record which was taken off from the album.
@@JPLMONEY23 It was a Rappinstine song so they took it off when they limited the album to NWA tracks. Myka not only wrote the lyrics, he taught them the cadence & flow. "Scream" was bubbling on LA radio and people were hearing about this high school kid Microphone Mike.
@@parker_pubs Yea and Myka was probably 18-20 years old when he wrote it.....glad he stayed underground cuz you know how greed can destroy a person.
Definitely check out more from him & Freestyle Fellowship. His “7th Seal” and “5 o’clock Follies” from ‘91 were landmarks of style. Denzel Curry mentioned being inspired by “7th Seal”
#projectblowed crew!
Mikah and everyone from the freestyle fellowship is where it’s at!!!
Funt fact: Reciting Myka 9's "Cadillac Nights" verbatim at an interview will land you a job at GM.
#projectblowed
if you didn't know Myka9 and Freestyle Fellowship set the foundation for Bone Thugs, Kendrick, Tech9, Slug, Hiero, Talib Kweli, etc. and they will ALL ADMIT IT.
Glad to see people finding Mikha 9 again.. Daddy Kev and mikha9 first things last
"Sixth sensibility to mix the instability of sinister soliloquies in Fellowship facilities..." AMAZING TRACK

Shouts out and bigg ups to O.G. Mikah 9 #L.A.INNOVATORS #FreestyleFellowship #PROJECTBLOWED
YOOOO I love Myka9, I love his lyrical style 100000%
Check out his song "First Things Last". Other emcees can't do what Mikah does. Plain and simple.
Myka 9 is one of my all time favorites. Another favorite is Ceschi, who credits Myka for showing him how to rap.
Mr.Troy is my bro & mic-GOD..
Respectfully West Blessed Indeed
I've been telling folks for years, Cousin Mike is the truth. #GoodlifeBlowedFamilyForever

This is the best reactions video!!! So true if you know you know 😉.
People compare him to jazz because of the improvisation, and he can make his raps sound like instruments, especially his older work you hear it regularly.
Try DECA, The Grouch and Eligh, Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, Swollen members, Moka Only
The GOAT
Please react to his verse in the song called "Can you find..."
Myka 9 is a trumpet player
Such an unique delivery
❤💯✊🏼✊🏼
Mikah 9 legend fosho
The Goat .. also his crewmate AceyAlone from Freestyle Fellowship ! Myka is one of the greatest mc's of all time. Bizzy Bone and Bone Thugs N Harmony took that style from Freestyle Fellowship ! The only difference is the beats they rhyme over.
Harry Mac can’t hold a candle to Mikah. Mikah would smoke him. Trust me. Harry knows who Mikah is. Busta considers him one of the GOATS.

Myka is really untouchable, as big a fan of aes, driver, dose etc I still gots to give it to the absurdly versatile o.g. who still puttin out pantheon crushing material. K. Got that off my chest. 🎧
Homie i hope you get more reaction on mykas tracks in the future :))) 7th seal for example☝️🙏🙏
