Info

Soulfully inclined producer, MC, and turntablist ST/MiC (pronounced ‘saint mike’) was a musical prodigy at a young age, learning to play the bass, guitar, and drums all by the time he was 14. Using the spelled out moniker ‘St. Michael,’ he cut his teeth as a DJ on the East Coast’s electronic dance scene, performing his hip-hop and drum’n’bass productions throughout the 90s.

Collaborations
At a later date he worked close with DJ Ragz and M.U.D.D. of Jazz Addixx. He devoted his time to honing his production and audio engineering skills, and he eventually settled down in Virginia. In that time, he was responsible for mixing down songs for Skillz, Rass Kass, C-Rayz Walz and Cris Prolific (featuring artists such as: Guilty Simpson, Baatin of Slum Village, Illa J, Phat Kat, Black Milk and more).

Music

After ‘Life’s Work‘ in 2008, St/Mic dropped a new album called ‘Honest Music‘ last year on Domination Records. For your pleasure, we selected a track called ‘Karyu (1st Build)’ off the Jazz City Series compilation ‘Dope Days & Nights‘. This mellow compilation was released last month on Digi Crates Records, featuring artists such as Hus (Tha Connection), The Essentials, St/Mic, Kyo Atachi and more.
