DAILY FIX: Mikealis

by | Dec 14, 2011 | MUSIC

Here’s your introduction, in video form, to a hot new rapper coming out of the RVA: Mikealis. His debut EP, American Tourist, just dropped from local hip-hop label Charged Up Entertainment, and the video features short previews from two songs off the EP: “The New Rat Pack” and “Loud Spinning Rooms,” both of which feature guest verses from Yung Yankee. You can download the EP from datpiff HERE, and be sure to check out Mikealis online at mikealis.com and xxtourist.com. We expect to hear a lot more from this kid in the new year, so keep your ears open!
