Album Review: Sean Price’s “Mic Tyson”
Hard punches, outrageous brags, menacing stature, and of course, the trademark lisp. These are the traits that made Brooklyn, New York’s Mike Tyson one of the most electric personalities in recent memory. And Sean Price’s Mic Tyson embodies all of it.
Over gritty bass and sped up looping samples, “Bar-Barian” sets the tone for the first round of word whooping. But, just like how the former heavyweight champion would toy with his prey, Price seems to toy with DJ Premier-sounding boom bap and scratches from upcoming producer Amp on the track “Pyrex”.
