“I’m kosher…I don’t even watch movies with Kevin Bacon.”
Cookin’ Soul dropped the first single from their Nah Right assisted EPish project. Mickey Factz is on the mic on “Flyin’ Balloons”, a song that contradicts Forrest Gump’s mom and accompanies Mickey’s flow with a somewhat unorthodox beat (that’s really the best way to describe it now)…More info about the project and the track is below.
So late last year, the gentleman from Cookin Soul reached out to your boy about doing a mixtape/album/EP type of thing with all original beats and lyrics. The premise was simple: they would provide their legendary production expertise, and we would all reach out to artists we know and respect for bars. Sounds straightforward enough right? So what took so long? Well, honestly, most of the joints were done months ago, but the planets weren’t properly aligned, so we had to let it marinate.
But now, I am happy to present to you the first leak off Cookin Soul & Nah Right’s 1:00 A.M. And Rising. The title is obviously a play on the title of De La Soul’s classic debut, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end. Our project consists of 12 cuts, one to correspond with each hour on the clock. I guess you can say it’s a nod to the late night grind that has become the standard MO for so many of us midnight marauders. No subliminal shots.
