Sound-off! An Underage Battle: Micah B

Micah B spits syllables through cinderblock phrasings, carves smooth grafs on a solid hip-hop foundation, and keeps sure-footed on skittered meters. He's a samurai mountain goat with spray paint, ever on the climb, tagging his way for others to follow.

A Lakewood cat, Micah is producer and lyricist, architect and ornamentalist, city planner and population, building gritty structures and peopling them with evocative narratives. This Saturday he faces his toughest battle when he takes on Kids and Animals, Land of Pines, and The Oh Wells during the third semi-final for EMP's Sound-Off! The four-way rumble will determine the last competitor in the Final, and Micah B is looking sharp running smart for the spot.

Saturday 7:00 p.m. // EMP/SFM // $10 ($7 students / EMP|SFM members)
