The Book Of Michael, Chapter 1: Reign Maker
Reviewed by: Joe Andrew
The Book Of Michael, Chapter 1: Reign Maker is a completely new look from Levittown’s own, Mike Voss. From street battles to BET’s Freestyle Friday, the rapper has been known for his witty punch lines. This CD breaks that mold while yet staying true to his roots.
Songs like “Tarantino” and “Ghost Town” showcase Voss’s ability to write a catchy chorus, all while staying underground in his style. Any neigh-sayers who believe battle rappers can’t write hit songs will be proven wrong with this project. In fact, don’t expect to be skipping any songs like you may do on most albums. Despite only being six songs long, this EP packs a punch with every track.
The production on “Berzerker” make this song surely crazy to watch him perform live. The high energy, unique instrumental flows perfect with Voss’s delivery on his lyrics.
Listeners can be on the look out for a new music video for the single, “All Hail”, coming soon. In the meantime be sure to check out the video for “Tarantino” out now. And, also be sure to attend one of Voss’s upcoming shows: Thursday January 30th at The Fire, February 13th at WXPN’s Winter Festival also at The Fire, and February 14th at Rio in Levittown, PA.
