Mickey Factz on Gamespot Sound Byte
Like the sims themselves, the music in the Sims games has evolved over time. Now that they are moving out of suburbia and into the big city, the sims need their own soundtrack to dance and thrive to. There are many artists that lend their talents to the soundtracks, and we caught up with some of them to see how they got involved in their music and how they stumbled into making music for games.
Below we have Mickey Factz who did "Dreamland" for The Sims 3 on console, along with King Fantastic (artists Killer Reese One and Troublemaker), Hadag Nahash (Guy Mar), and Electrolightz (Eroc, Name Brand, Rami Dearest, and Barry Romance) for The Sims 3: Late Night.
For the interview, check it out here.

What up moolie... Factz of life, shunned tootie
No veins cause the cross bronx run thru me
I'm unruly, word to freeway's sunie
Fela Kuti with the bars, disagree, sue me
Come to groupies I pass off like bob cousy
Your Ralph Cramden don't be mad if your honey moon me
You aint tough wouldn't shoot me playing call of duty
Enforcer, don't care how barbara walters would view me
Word to my aunt ima start the bronx renaissance,
I talk to puns mural listening for a response
Black apple state of mind, I think good,
Got it sitting on my chest, black ink wood
Me and nakim we flip birds on ya, whip swerve on ya,
Slick performer, rich personna
Quick word former, kick dirt on ya,
I'm Neo looking for Lawrence Fishburne's Daughter

Mickey Factz AllHipHop Interview
Everybody knows that music is not the most stable career, in any sense of the word, especially in this day and time. Being a new artist, it’s even worse, because there are so many other artists that are trying to make it in this game. The biggest fears I really had were just being homeless and out on the street.

Cory Gunz x Mickey Factz on BET's The Deal
This is a new blogger here! Online I got by the name Vigilante and I'm a big, big Mickey Factz fan. I'll be bringing to you guys the latest Mickey Factz news, videos, and other things. I have also interviewed Mickey Factz himself so be on the watch out for that!
They rhyme over an LL Cool J track and then a Pharrell produced track. I think Cory is spitting written though and I know Mick is. Still love them both though. Mickey spits "Mick James"/"Scream Loud" and a little freestyle at the end.
Throwback Part 1
Back in 2005, Mickey was known as Renegade. This music video is from that time. You can find this track on The Leak Vol. 1: The Understanding. Maybe one day you guys will hear some Renegade stuff like the following freestyle battle which is not the best example, I admit. The music from that time is retty interesting, I must say. It's so not the guy you all know now, but he still can rap his ass off as he showed in the promo tracks for the upcoming I'm Better Than You mixtape.
He sure has come a long way.

Back to Take the World!
In 2009, Mickey was laying low, but he's been working on his debut album, with EA Sports and doing more stuff with Honda. This blog has been ghosting itself for the past few months. Mick's back, and the blog's back. This is going to be a semi-long post, so, keep up.
Back in January, Mickey dropped a mixtape/EP called thedarkphoenix: ALPHA to promote his first single up for sale "Alpha." The project previews the single and blends Mick's rapping skills with the music of French bands Phoenix and Justice. Click here to download it.
Two months later, Mickey dropped his first single "Alpha" on iTunes. Today, the video dropped:
MICKEY FACTZ: ALPHA from Creative Control on Vimeo.
GFCnewyork presents Mickey Factz who brings you his hot new song, Alpha. Directed by Kwesi James and produced by Kwesi James and Alex Bittan. Another production from LOOSEWORLD NYC, edited by Aaron Bennett. Director of Photography by Minka and VFX/Motion Graphics by Ronin/SS.
Feeling the single? Cop it for 99 cents.
In addition to dropping the video, he announced his signing to a major label. What label? Battery Records/Jive. Peep it. The debut album is dropping this Fall. To hold people over, Mick's dropping a mixtape called I'm Better Than You next month with great features. Be on the lookout for that right here.
Remember this? Well, Vol. 2: The Return is coming real soon. It features tracks from the time the blog was away and maybe some other goodies. Stay tuned for that!
