Biography

Seez Mics earned his MC name during the late 1990's as a standard bearer in the DMV's exploding freestyle scene. As one of the youngest members in Freestyle Union, Washington DC's premier freestyle community, Seez Mics rapidly developed into a veteran of local open mics and battles during which he would quite literally seize every opportunity to rock the crowd. Now the latest signee to Strange Famous Records’ digital imprint SFdigi, Seez Mics is a familiar name to followers of SFR. His history with the label goes back nearly 20 years (when he first hosted Sage Francis on his college radio show) and spans all the way to the most recent Epic Beard Men tour in early 2018, where Seez held down the opening slot on the group’s mid-Atlantic dates. His body of work ranges from traditional hip hop (primarily from his long tenure as half of rap duo Educated Consumers) to progressive spoken word – and all facets of Seez’s verbal dexterity are on display in his latest work, "Live Long Enough To Learn." The respect and reputation earned by Seez during his decades around the industry is evidenced by the esteemed guests that appear on LLETL: Sage turns in a verse on “The End Has Begun”, and indie rap legend Slug (of Atmosphere) and Open Mike Eagle fill out the unorthodox posse cut “Figure ‘Em Out.” Production on the album includes beats from SFR labelmates Prolyphic and Aupheus, longtime collaborator Max Bent, and underground hip hop favorites Ecid, Ardamus, and The Doppelgangaz.
