Mic’s music is a soulful, socially conscious, smoked out mesh of impossible rhyme patterns, smooth party vibes and introspective thoughts on top of an array of incredible production.

Also with a strong following in the battle rap culture as an established battler, Mic Phelps stretches his talents to the max, and prides himself in being a master in all areas of his art form.

When not ripping up stages or writing the fire, he’s teaching creative writing, drama, poetry and hip hop in various schools in the Detroit Public School system.

Mic Phelps is a renaissance artist and the future of not only Michigan hip hop, but Hip hop nationally and abroad.
