Mikkey Halsted feat. Miss Criss – “Mikkey Is Back”
Mikkey.Is.Back. Didn’t I tell you that Mikkey was coming? I got my hands on a slew of new and unreleased Mikkey material last night, so FSD is definitely along for the ride of Mikk’s quest for domination. “No sicker Go-Getter, ask Mr. West I’m synonymous with fresh/The best – out the city/I know the truths…
