Michaelangelo

Although his mic skills are universal, Michaelangelo, born Michael Andre' Willis, is from Griffin, GA, a small town 35 miles south of Atlanta. Rapping since the age of 13, he marveled at the lyrical complexities of the masters such as Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, King Sun, KRS-One, and LL Cool J, to name a few. He soon developed a style all his own. Mixing clever metaphors with raw straight to the point get in your a** battle rhymes, Michaelangelo is a force to be reckoned with, but the thing that makes Michaelangelo truly "Uneek" is his ability to adapt to any style, any subject matter, any topic. He is by no means one dimensional when it comes to this game, the game of Hip-Hop, the game of life.

Although Atlanta has been making a name for itself in recent years became of groups like OutKast, Goodie Mobb, and Jermaine Dupree, Michaelangelo feels that Atlanta still has not been represented to the fullest, and he's on a mission to show the world that if you got it, you got it. Geographical location shouldn't have any bearing on lyrical ability. He has had to prove himself time and time again in numerous late night after club cyphers with cats from up north who automatically assume that brothers from the south don't have the venacular to hold his own. They found out the hard way that it's the wrong thing to assume.

"I believe that Hip-Hop should remaine pure and true to the heart of the artist, but the artist still has to change with the times to be able to satisfy the new generation that grows up listening to it. but not to the point of making anything just to make money at the expense of the young generation's nievtity." - Michaelangelo
