Debut Album Alert!: Mic Little - "Put it in a Letter"


Mic Little is the future of R&B... hands down he is one of the most talented singers at the age of 14. However, recently it has come to my attention that Mic Little was dropped from the major recording label Def Jam. How? or Why? is beyond me... I don't understand why anyone would give up such a hot prospect. Mic Little, who released his expected 1st single "Put it in a Letter" featuring the lyrical master Ne-yo, had absolutely no push from Def jam which ultimately sums up why Mic Little was dropped from their label. Honestly, its a shame that such a new and upcoming artist such as Mic Little wasn't given the chance that he deserved.
However, it seems that Mic Little has released a debut album independently, which will be sold through digital downloading. The album is called "Put it in a Letter", which includes some amazing tracks such like "Put it in a Letter", "Don't Stop (I like It)", and the melodic ballad "Red Light, Green Light".
The album starts off with his 1st single "Put it in a letter", which features Ne-yo. The song is a great single choice, and lyrically wise fits his image/age. The next song on the album "Don't Stop(I Like it)" which was produced by Stargate, reveals a more risky side of Mic Little rather than his normal 14 year old sensual side. If your looking for an amazing ballad then make sure you check out track #3 on the album called "Red Light, Green Light", which shows his melodic/sensual side. "Who Need a Dime" is a different yet interesting song that shows Mic Little's creative lyrical side... (Who need a dime, I got a dollar... make me wanna pop my collar haha). #5 "Fresh & Fly" gives us a glimpse of Mic's gangsta side... but mainly just a filler on the album. #6 "Hey Girl" is a crazy club banga! It has a mesmerizing beat that will just make you wanna move. #7 "Let Me Get it", sort of has a southern type of snap beat with hard synths that make you just wanna lean and rock to it. #8 "Golden State" is kind of an obnoxious anthem about Cali and where he lives, but it doesn't take too much away from the album. #9 "Never Can Say Goodbye" is a remake of The Jackson 5's hit single, and Mic Little does an amazing job and sounds a lot like the great Michael Jackson himself. #10 "Make it out the Hood" is really just another one of those typical songs about getting out of the hood and going from the bottom to the top. #11 "My Song" is yet another slow jam ballad with a nice piano sound in the background... Mic will have the ladies eating out of his hand with this joint! #12 "Can I Be It" is a mid-tempo love song that is one of the best on the album. #13 "Hate On Us" is a slow jam that really reveals his image/age, which is good that he isn't trying to act older than he really is. #14 and the last song on the track "Before I Fail" is an interesting song with a weird intro... probaly a bad way to end the album... but overall an amazing album.
