Fresh off a surprise appearance at the Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme last Friday (audio of his live freestyles over Madlib – Beat Konducta 6 beats coming soon, in the meantime you can stream one of the tracks at myspace.com/djlowkey), Mickey Factz can be found alongside the homey Blu (who’s also performed at the Solution) & Corey Gunz on the cover of the new XXL. It’s the magazine’s yearly freshman ten issue and both Blu & Mickey are featured (B.O.B., who was at our Rock The Bells afterparty, is on there too).  Congrats guys, you deserve it and Denver, just another reason to be checking out the Solution every Friday night on the Funky Buddha’s Rooftop (776 Lincoln).  You gotta love the Solution, we’re the Colbert bump of rap (apparently…ahahahahaha).
