Mickey Factz is renowned for his freestyle skills. The Bronx, New Yorker seems to just get better with these kind of bars with age—in addition to releasing some quality projects that show a different gift from the veteran MC. He battles beats like so many opponents left duffed out in his decorated past.

Appearing on the L.A. Leakers’ show, the DJ Sourmilk and Justin Credible had the B-X in mind when they provided M.F. with Showbiz & A.G.’s “Next Level (Nyte Time Remix)” instrumental (embedded below), as produced by DJ Premier.

It’s in the same hand / Gary Pay-ton / I’m in the alley with spray-cans / I can snipe, but I’m good with the knife, that’s a Blade fan / You straight playin’ / Ask my bro’ Kendrick, he’ll say ‘damn’ / Ask Caitlin Jenner, she’ll say ‘man’ / Raw with the Rap moves / Steady goin’ off with the bars / No-pause / I wouldn’t stall in a bathroom / Broad in a chatroom / Got her in my ride, she my car-pet and she treat my balls a vacuum / Suck-ups with a lot of guilt / I got a MILF who head just incredible so her face got sour milk,” he spits, weaving in the hosts’ names.
