Rhyme Time and College of Hip Hop Knowledge emcee Big Mic goes for a fittingly retro sound and look for “My Boombox,” his new tribute to the golden age of hip hop’s accessory of choice. Featuring Mic roaming around Austin with the titular boombox in hand, the song is an affectionate and laidback ode to the comfort and passion music brings. Mic told us “The song & video represent how my roots and love for hip hop were birthed as my first Boombox was handed down to me by my big sister Mercedes Pereida Lopez,” and the love Mic has for the medium and the technology is clear in every frame of Richard Santos’ video. “My Boombox” comes from Mic’s new album Optimus Rhyme, which you can download for free here, and you’ll be able to catch him live Friday, December 2nd at Flamingo Cantina with Sertified, Dat Boy Supa, Anya, Stat 1, CHHK Crew and more.
