English rapper Mic Righteous headlines The Poetry Club on Thursday 9 May 2024.
The product of a tough upbringing, Mic Righteous began rapping to help deal with pent-up anger and frustration. He started to pen his own lyrics and record his own tracks at a recording studio near his brother's house, and quickly began to experience success, with his mixtapes receiving downloads in the thousands and his tracks becoming YouTube hits. With his popularity continuing to increase, he also began receiving recognition from fellow artists on the scene, namely The Game Devlin, and Wretch 32. Collaborations with household names such as Emeli Sandé and Ed Sheeran helped propel the rapper, with his hard-hitting, gritty lyrics to a wider audience, helped him become one of the most well respected MCs in the UK scene.
