Over the past two decades, Nickel City MC Mickey O’Brien has been an inspired voice in the Canadian rap scene with his boundary-defying, concept-heavy music. Even prior to his emergence as a solo artist in 2019, while still a member of rap-rock outfit Kill the Autocrat, O’Brien proved himself a powerful voice of the north for hip-hop. Whether he’s expressing his failures and triumphs in love (Twin Flame), taking a deep dive into his experience with addiction (Shift Change), or tackling the spectrum of emotions (Orebody), O’Brien’s effortless vulnerability is a key component in the cultivation of a new wave in honest, emotional hip hop. Now with tours in Japan, Australia, Ireland, the UK, a few American cities, and twice across Canada, he is delivering his message of recovery and positivity worldwide. Mickey O’Brien prides himself on pushing his own personal boundaries in his relentless pursuit to make art that is both impactful and as real as possible.
