It feels good to finally release this track; it’s been a really long time coming. The beat was produced by my very good friend Coolzey. He gave me a disc containing eleven beats sometime in late 2010 and this was the only one I wrote on. I eventually let my crew hear the beats and they all said this beat was for me. Later I approached Coolzey about letting us pick and choose beats to use for a Mic Hand x Coolzey project. He agreed under the condition that we kept him updated on what beats we were using so he didn’t give them to other friends. We accepted the conditions and got to work, and I had the verse for this finished in April of 2011. The day I finished writing I made a promotional video for Deuce Ellis & Prhyme8’s Peanut Butter Crotch Tour that had a stop in Cedar Rapids. In the video I spit this verse over the beat played from my cell phone and I got a really good response from the people; they seem to like it when I rap fast. I went on to perform this for the first time at the Coopacabana in Cedar Rapids during the Peanut Butter Crotch Tour show. Unfortunately, the crew and I lost our motivation and momentum for the Mic Hand x Coolzey project and it got pushed to the side. Out of the 11 beats, CasetheJoint, Opt Rhyme and I all wrote one solo song each, and we had also been working on an intro song for the project with all of us including Colorless, but it never panned out. I kept performing this song to many people’s amazement and enjoyment, but I didn’t record it until 2013. Sorry for the delay, I’m working on recording and releasing my music in a more timely fashion….

On The Case

Beat 0130

Michael Mic Check presents: Camp Cam Fam, which consist of myself and my two eldest sons FireAnt & Genesis the GodSun. Once I found out that they (my sons)were writing and focusing energy into verses, I had to invite them to the studio with me. It makes me proud to have something in common and to be able to use it as a bonding moment with my children, I'm such a proud father. I hope you dig the 1st of many records from Camp Cam Fam.

Goodwill beats feb 3rd 2012

I got sore and boarded up the door of my cave
Been restorin my force for forty whole days
Forty foot waves or warnins of world war
Couldnt force me out
I ignore what I've heard before
Solo
Free from interruptions
Lackin the grace for meaningless discussions
Lackin the face to be fake for introductions
They tell me who I look like
And then I look disgusted
The bar's Darwinian 
I do the limbo
Starved for your opinion
Not
So miss me at the function
I'd Fail to find the kindness to entertain assumptions
I can't smile or or even feel somethin
At the pinnacle of cynical regard for these bumpkins
Ive quarantined my tongue and teeth
Been underground see underneath


I gotta reconfigure
Fell into my cycle once the loop had gotten triggered
I'm shiftin bitter to bigger
Little by little I think I'm gettin the picture 
But I still flinch at every camera flash
Photophobic ruin photos cuz I cant relax
I hold no candle to a man of wax
Back in action all my vanity's a handicap
Between fate and genetics
Tryna shape an aesthetic
I can feel for a day or so
Reveal what I've vetted
Conceal whats pathetic 
Protect it the way i know
Is it real if I edit
I just feel I'd regret it
If i said what should stay below
I appeal for your credit
And the feel when I get it
Is just somethin i hate to show
Feelin my fatal flaws
Feelin whats not evolved
Feelin I lost a gift
Feelin I dropped the ball
Feelin I oughta quit
Feelin I lost the call
Some of us get a lift
Some of us got to crawl
Lots of impediments
Blockin my resonance
Locked in my residence
I Spit futility
All of the evidence
All of my precedents
Say that the lesson I'll get is
Humility

PERFORMANCE BIO -Skate attire and blond locks flowing from beneath his hat, an unexpected look takes the stage with no introduction. Curious crowds assemble to see and hear if the "head nodding hype" is true. With an apparent confidence he begins pounding out a riveting live beat production on his MP2000XL. His fingers and hands moving fiercely, completing the most rugged baseline and eerie, urgent samples, he definitely has your attention now. His skillful mastery of the machine is smooth and seemingly effortless. Bouncing to his own beat production before you, he snatches the microphone from its impending stand, and in true artistic hip hop form, begins rhyming over the aforementioned head nodding beat. An extremely enthusiastic delivery with a rapid lyrical flow soon ensues. He's almost cocky but way too likeable, todays' kids would call it swagger. From the Twista-remininscent "impcredible" fast raps, to analogy filled cyborg references, to the grit and honesty in "Game of Life" he seems to leave no stone unturned in his lyrical prowess. Add just the right amount of quirky banter to leave you smiling, Imperfekt's live stage show is becoming something audiences are talking about for weeks after the show.
