In honor of Freedom Sunday, Mickey Cho just dropped a new song and MV called “Justice Has a Name”. The song deals with the topic of modern day slavery and human trafficking and how it should be addressed from the perspective of the Church. It’s a powerful message about a dark topic. You can DL the song for free via Bandcamp, here. Lyrics are available after the break.
Unfortunately, this visual for “Celebrate”, off of Mickey Cho‘s Joy EP from last December, isn’t a full fledged production, but rather more like a promotional lyric video. It’s only a couple minutes long so you don’t even get the whole song, but what you do get is a seizure inducing combination of quick fades and flashes of colors to help kick off that migraine. In reality, it’s not that bad, we’re just disappointed we didn’t get a full video.
California rapper Mickey Cho is joined by Sam Cho and Diane Lee for an unplugged rendition of his songs “Arms of Love” from his 2010 album, PTL. This is a pretty dope acoustic performance video though the video is fairly uneventful. Perhaps a wider shot would have helped but it all left me feeling a bit claustrophobic. But the strength of the material is definitely the song itself – “a song portraying the cries of real-life inner city children from Daejeon, Korea”.
California artist Mickey Cho has dropped a new EP in time for the Holidays called Joy that also serves as a fundraising tool for I Heart Justice, a faith based organization. The 5 track release has a couple collaborations on there with a starting price of $5, though more is accepted. You can check out the album and purchase it via the bandcamp widget below. If you would like to know more about the cause Mickey is supporting, check just after the break for the info.
It’s only been a couple days since they released the track but AMP & Mickey Cho have also dropped the official MV for their collaborative song “Blessed”. The video is clean and a fun match to the song though it’s more of a compilation of behind the scenes footage than an actual proper video. Can’t complain too much though cause it’s still an enjoyable watch. It’s still a free DL and lyrics are available after the break.
It may be early Saturday morning but this ain’t too bad of a way to start off your day. AMP & Mickey Cho have teamed up again on this new track entitled “Blessed” – appropriate for this season of Thanksgiving. The four artists all trade raps over a bossa nova infused track for a somewhat refreshing sound – they even mix in a little Spanish here and there. You can DL the faith inspired song by Sam Ock, CL (aka Chung), J. Han & Mickey for free here.
It’s officially the day before Thanksgiving. Not that has anything to do with this post… but regardless! Today we have a collection of Youtube covers by male artists that are actually showcasing their rendition of songs by Top 40 female artists. Mickey Cho, Mike Isberto, New Heights, Andrew Huang, and Oak & Gorski have all made roll call and give their best to do the original artists justice. Which one is your favorite?

It’s only been a few days since the single dropped, but AMP has released the official MV for their collab with Gowe & Mickey Cho – “Inspired” (shot on location at Inspire Cali 2011). Clean, sharp video combined with some candid footage make for a fun video though still in the lane of your standard single-cam affair. Mickey kills his verse though, where did this Sam Ock doppelganger come from? The dude can flow!
In a cross-country collaboration, AMP has dropped a new track featuring Gowe & Mickey Cho in a song appropriately titled “Inspired”. The song was recorded during the recent Inspire Cali 2011 event when everyone was able to come together and record this track. The 5 artists all take turns on a classic, soul-inspired beat and best of all… it’s a free DL. Well, sort of – it’ll cost you a tweet or facebook post. Hopefully you’re on one of those social networks. Get the song here for free.
After kicking off the year with an incredible event in the East Coast, Inspire is returning back to their SoCal roots for a new show on October 22nd in Torrance, California. The faith inspired concert features talent from all over the country including AMP, Gowe, Jason Min, The Lawft, Mickey Cho, Descry (of the Nehemiah Band) and more! SoCal folk, I highly encourage you check this one out. This is music for the ears, heart and soul. Tickets are available via Eventbrite.
