about

On the back of the Bangalore-based hip-hop artist's latest single, 'SWISHES', comes his 6-track EP titled ‘FLASH WARNING’, released on the 25th of February. This larger body of work is a testament to Micah's signature flow and production capabilities as the entire production was done entirely by him - with assistance in mixing/mastering by Amrith Raghunathan. It is precise - packed with measured production and pointed verses. Teaming up with Rohan Johnson, Micah also presents visualizers for each of the tracks, shot with the same cohesive aesthetic that prevails through the entire EP. With booming kick drums and Micah's signature laid-back vocals, Micah taps into the narrative-fuelled street aesthetics of Bangalore with this lead single, highlighting his lyrical prowess and production capabilities.
