Who Is Mickey Factz?
Mark Williams , also known by his stage name Mickey Factz, is an American hip hop artist from The Bronx, NY. Mickey Factz attended Adlai E. Stevenson High School, which is known for being the high school of hip hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa. For 2008's The Leak, Vol.1: The Understanding, Factz leaked one song every week on MySpace for 17 weeks. One of the songs, "I'm Sean (50 Shots More)", was written from the perspective of Sean Bell, who was killed by New York police in 2006.
In a 2008 interview Factz recalled, "I had heard a few records from some New York artists, whose names I won’t mention, and I wasn’t very pleased with what they were doing. I decided that I was going to get in the shoes of Sean Bell and talk about the night of him dying, him at his funeral, him seeing the press conferences and him just talking to the youth and letting them know that we have to come together and do better than what’s going on right now." Factz's song-per-week release strategy was also used for The Leak, Vol.2: The Inspiration, which contains guest appearances by Drake, Travie McCoy, and Tanya Morgan. The music video for "Rockin' N Rollin'", featuring The Cool Kids and produced by Precize, was added to rotation at MTV. Factz was named to XXL magazine's "Freshmen Class of '09" issue in 2008.

Mickey MauSe Mixtape Review
“I knew I had talent. I knew I could draw. I knew I could make work come to life on the wall. I knew I was creative… but my overall goal wasn’t to be the best. I just wanted respect from my peers. A sense of admiration from people who’d see my work…”
As the introduction plays, it’s almost impossible to distinguish between Mickey Factz and “MauSe,” the character that he portrays in his latest project. The aspiration to be respected is something that should drive any person who’s been in the limelight, and Factz is no different. He’s had all of the motivation in the world in the last few years; from seeing several of the artists from his respective XXL covers blossom into notable stars or fade into the background, Mickey’s somehow stuck right in the middle. He’s been releasing quality projects, but as far as garnering the attention needed for his career to reach the heights of some of his peers? It hasn’t happened.
So it seems that out of that realization, “MauSe” was born. A character created by Factz to parallel his personal thoughts, feelings, emotions, and more in another attempt to garner the recognition he (and others) feels that he so righteously deserves. Mickey MauSe, according to Factz, isn’t a mixtape; it’s a soundtrack based around the life of this created character/street artist, and the moment you approach the project with open ears is the moment you realize how different this soundtrack is from anything else. In this case, that’s a great thing. (Read More)
