Canadian rap artist Mickey O’Brien spent the past few years focused on one thing: crafting great art. 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. Representing Sudbury, ON, his music captures a fresh and exciting perspective – one that is both universally human and distinctly Northern Ontario. And as a hard-rock miner working thousands of feet underground, O’Brien is a blue-collar worker who also excels at compelling stories, ‘no BS’ observations, and skilful, conversational lyricism.
