Mike Martin The 1

Mike Martin. The attitude of a gangsta rapper. The cockiness of Jay Z and Kanye, with the lyrical intelligence of Common and Talib Kweli.

Band/artist history
Umm. Well I started rappin as a hobby back in 2001. Fucked up thing is I was writin one of my first few rhymes while the whole 9/11 shit was goin down. But anyway, I decided I was gonna chase rap as a career back in May of 2005. Then I started writin songs, just tryna get my skills up. And finally I recorded my first ever song, which was Definition of Greatness, on January 4, 2006.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
So far i've only done one live performance. It was a talent show at Drexel University in philly. I'll never forget that night, cuz i fucked my knee up like CRAZY lol.
Your musical influences
I'm influenced by almost everything man. But my main influences are Jay-Z, Kanye West, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli. My style is similar to a spoken word, like Talib Kweli, but with attitude, more like a modern day 2pac.
What equipment do you use?
My brain, my fingers, and Microsoft Word lol
