He has performed in front of crowds of over 30,000 admiring fans along side the likes of KRS-ONE, Talib Kweli, Super Nat, Del the Funky Homosapien, and of course his Coup de Tat cohorts Acey Alone, and Ab Rude. 
The latter whom appears as a featured emcee on the Citrus Sessions as well as P.E.A.C.E. . 

California has long been home for some of the finest talent in music. Continuing this tradition is L.A.'s own Myka Nyne (Michael Troy) the founding member of legendary group FREESTYLE FELLOWSHIP.

Here's some information on the new release by Myka Nyne, "The Citrus Sessions Vol. 1": This album will have 22-23 tracks, including some tracks from the "Citrus Sessions" EP. 

The album expands far beyond the concepts started on the EP with solid production and guests including P.E.A.C.E., Kits, Abstract Rude and many more. Featuring the live, unrehearsed performance by Myka Nyne and The Citrus Sessions Band (Josef Leimberg, Spider Fingers, Dale Hauskins, Mike Meeker...) + the freestyle session w/ P.E.A.C.E., Kits and others + Extra rare studio and behind the scene footage taken during the creation of the Citrus Sessions Project (yes, more freestyles and guests), will be included with the CD.

With the Citrus Sessions all-star band, consisting of members from Macy Gray, Raphael Saadiq, and Anthony Hamilton's bands, Myka 9..s live performances and tours are breaking through the barriers of hip hop and setting a new bar for artists worldwide. 

Myka champions his often-imitated, never-duplicated lyrical style around the world.

Originally known as Microphone Mike, in the 80s he was a member of the MC Aces with Aceyalone and Spoon Iodine. As one of the founding members of Freestyle Fellowship, Myka 9 was instrumental in the scene at the Good Life Cafe in the early 90s. (Timetable contains some of his live recordings from the Good Life Cafe open-mic.) As one of the most stylistically advanced rappers at the Good Life, Myka 9 has had a profound influence on L.A. underground hip hop and freestyle rapping in general. Discussing the influence of Myka 9's song "7th Seal," released in 1991 on Freestyle Fellowship's To Whom It May Concern, Ellay Khule said, " '7th Seal' blew everybody's mind for at least 2 years straight. People studied that shit backwards and forwards -- even we don't know all those words. That made everybody say like 'I gotta get a tape out' or 'I can't rap like so-and-so no more. I can't be in 80s, now we movin' to the 90s.' That totally transferred our musical thought." Drummer and producer JMD said, "Mike was like the Charlie Parker of all these motherfuckers."

He is known for rapid-fire, jazz-influenced, melodic rapping, often incorporating singing and occasionally scatting into his songs. Myka has said of his style, “My rhymes take the direction of a jazz trumpet or sax solo, like Miles or Trane, if I was to rhyme in the same meter as those notes . . . that’s my concept.”
