It’s no question “the game” needs changing and Mic-Check is trying his best with his well produced mixtape full of big beats and lyrical dexterity. “Operation: Change The Game” is this Westside Atlanta native’s latest offering which is hosted by Gutta Kamp DJ’s, and presented by High Maintenance Entertainment.
Mic-Check comes out hard and doesn’t let up. “Operation: Change
The Game” starts off with an original track (the majority are) called “The Construction” which gives us an intro into Mic-Check’s superior wordplay, distinct voice, and agile delivery. “Pigpin on 26’s” sounds like it would be a monster in the club with it’s heavy horns, and verbal imagery full of stuntin’ and shinin’. Then comes “Crownholder” which is on a borrowed beat but shows how Mic-Check can pick up the pace with his flow. “Promise” is another banger whose hook owes itself to a line from Snoop-Dogg’s classic “Doggy Dog World”.
