Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 in My journey

Nanci O. Radio Show took the time to review a leaked track from the upcoming 50/50 collaborative EP with Kandi Cole and Miki Vale. She had some thoughts on female emcees in the game. Click HERE to see what all the fuss is about.

Miki Vale & Kandi Cole Book 1st Gig as 50/50!

Posted on Monday, January 26, 2009 in My journey

Miki Vale and I booked our first gig as the collabo 50/50. The EP will be out in a few weeks. I’m real excited about this show tho. It’s with those super dope cats also reppin the West Coast, BLU & Exile. If you don’t know about that collabo, go to youtube and get acquainted.

Anyways, if you are anywhere NEAR (within 50 miles) the Long Beach area on February 21st I advise you to make your way to one of the livest shows of ‘09 thus far. And you get to see how my partner in crime and I resurrect the “SuperDuo.” Think BlackStar. Or OutKast. Or Red&Meth….but with a little feminine energy!

Queen’s Counsel #5: Miki Vale

Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 in Queen's Counsel

QUEEN’S COUNSEL

Today and every Tuesday through the end of year I will be introducing female artists who I feel are putting out great music, show a respect for the game and take it seriously by putting their heart and soul into each song they release. These women will represent quality music, show great work ethic, and get a big thumbs up from me as an emcee and as a fan.


MIKI VALE

Representing San Diego by way of Oxnard, CA this emcee is a force to be reckoned with. Don’t let the laid-back vocals fool you. This Queen is a POWERHOUSE. With witty wordplay and a vocab that would make Talib jealous, Miki Vale is not new to this. She has collaborated with some of Hip Hop’s elite and earned her stripes and due praises by opening for such notable artists as Slick Rick, Mos Def, Bahamadia, Loot Pack, Declaime, Too $hort, Living Legends, Souls of Mischief, The Roots, and DJ Quik. I may be a bit biased, she is a part of the rockstar collective The (SIS)TEM, but you have to give props where props are due. She is an emcee young men and women can learn from, on and off the mic. She is the founder of The Upliftment Project as well as being an active member in the F.T.P (Feed The People) Movement. Some should take notes, with a definite buzz growing nationwide and overseas, she is definitely on the right path of success. She is set to drop her first full length album first quarter ‘09 titled “Love Dope: Pusha Woman Cometh…” I think it’s officially time for the brothers to step ya bars up. The ladies have been missing from the game long enough.

As always, you know the criteria to make Queen’s Counsel. These ranks are only held for those who take this ish seriously. Top notch emcees. It is not a game. Miki Vale, keep shinin’ Queen.


Support GOOD HIP-HOP!
