Since COLORS first began running their iconic live performance series several years ago now we have seen a number of copycats across all genres, trying to trap the magic of a live show but in the most intimate setting possible with raw unadulterated vocals and legendary instances of breath control. As content creation, especially in the music world, is becoming more and more boilerplate and automized, it was zero suprise that many media companies hoped to take this live show format and run with it. Now A Zae’s ‘From the Block’ series definitely predates this ‘Mic Check’d’ session with VisualzByDee that surpasses the aforementioned in both location and overall visual and sound quality. It is very clear that a lot of effort is put into his videos on an organizational end and he has been giving a host of young artists across the south an opportunity to have their music heard by the masses, up close and personal. Arkanasas artist J1Hunnit is the artist in question today on the Mic Check’d platform and he floats and glides over the regal Detroit-tinged production, unloading bars about hustling, coming from a small town, and facing the hate that comes with that. I am looking forward to taking a deeper dive into J1Hunnit’s music but would definitely recommend this live performance to anyone.
