Mike Zoot

NYC head Mike Zoot may not be a full-fledged superstar yet, but he's been a key player in the East Coast underground for the past few years. He has yet to release a full-length album, but has dropped singles and cameos at a prolific rate. A card-carrying member of the Rawkus Records new-school emcee posse, he has collaborated with the likes of Mos Def, High and Mighty, Pharoahe Monch, Thirstin Howl III, and Polyrhythm Addicts to name a few; he's also appeared on Nervous' Independent's Day and Rawkus' Lyricist Lounge compilations. His rhyme style is fast, furious and funny, with an extensive vocab.
