“Rock The Mic” - The UK Female Allstars & Mikey J

So after last years excellent stage performance it was only right that they follow it up with a video. “Rock The Mic” features the UK Female Allstars which are A Dot, Baby Blue, Lioness, RoxXxan, Mz Bratt and Lady Leshurr and production from Mikey J.

Each artist has been busy for a number of years working on their own solo projects and building a name for themselves so It's nice to see them getting together to collaborate, . I feel female mc's don't get as much love here as they do in the States, but that's slowly changing with these mc's.

So sit back and check out the video produced by the The Soul Culture media power house.
