Mick Boogie and Curtis Santiago - HAVE MERCCYY!
I love to wake up and see some free goodies waiting for me in my mailbox. Today’s auditory treasure came in the form of a download link and a swanky press release from Mick Boogie and Curtis Santiago promoting their mixtape HAVE MERCCYY! Being as I saw that Uncle Jesse and Michelle were featured, I just had to give this a shot…and I am glad I did.
Any artist that can take a song that was already written and perfected by another artist, and put their own stamp on it, has my respect. These 2 musical juggernauts earned my respect 10 fold. Whether it’s taking Kings Of Leon’s Sex On Fire and giving it a Prince like flair, or recreating The Killers’ track Human and recording it as it should have been the first time, you are never really able to pinpoint a distinct style that these 2 have. As was noticed in a post track interview that each song seems to have, each song has it’s own “character”, which keeps things interesting.
Just to keep you all busy, there’s a promo video below, a stream and download of one of my favorite cuts from the album, and a link that’ll let you download it all in it’s entirity. HAVE MERCCYY!
