Listen up hustlers if you still living, still grinding, still on the pursuit of being on top shining. The Black Apple represents you, the grind, the ambition that keeps dollar signs on your mind. From Hollywood to Harlem, B+ students working on A’s, rappers trying to sell their tape to cabbies riding around for days. From freelancer’s trying to get paid to barbers up early giving the whole block fades. The Black Apple is you, it’s us, it’s the past, present & future. GFCnewyork’s Kwasi & Ronin/SS designed it in collaboration with GoodWood. The Black Apple piece embody’s all of us, so that we dream bigger & become legendary.

Mickey Factz Signs to Battery/Jive Records
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Music, Talk
Rising Hip-Hop artist Mickey Factz has found a home at Battery Records, the label revealed to AllHipHop.com today (May 13th).
After releasing six mixtapes independently and landing spots in advertising campaigns with Honda, the 24-year-old New Yorker signed with Battery because of the label’s “creative vision.”
“My career as an artist has been a grand journey up to this point for my team GFCnewyork, and myself,“ Mickey Factz told AllHipHop.com. “Battery is the greatest compromise as they understand my vision and where we will be taking it. I’m glad to welcome them as a part of my team and The Black Apple experience. Truthfully, let the games begin.”
Mickey Factz was one of the most sought after unsigned artists before inking his deal with Battery.
According to Neil Levine, GM and Senior Vice President of Battery Records, Mickey Factz is a complete artist.
“He’s really put the work in to be a real star and Battery is very pleased to welcome him as our newest signing,” Neil Levine said of Factz’ independent hustle.
Mickey Factz left NYU Law School in order to pursue his career as a rapper.
According to Jeff Sledge, Battery’s VP of A&R, the rapper has developed his skills considerably while honing a unique sound.
“I have been working with Mickey for four years now. He has grown as an artist and developed a sound that separates him from other artists,” Sledge said. “I am excited to sign Mickey and have the opportunity to show the world the amazing artist that he has become.”
