The boys of Prime Example are back at it again. This time, they're spreading their wings and flying the coop, but not permanently. Each artist is pursuing their own solo projects, and making the first debut is Iron Mic's The Mic Check. Known as an encyclopedia of hip hop knowledge to his comrades, Mike "Iron Mic" Kane puts together a list of seemingly harmless track names such as "Jedi" and "Raw,",but the punches come from the hard-hitting lyrics and powerfully pounding beats, making the project, produced by Marc Mostro Coppola and Ian Riquelme Olivos, a guaranteed knockout. Watch out for this one. Copies of the album will be available for $5 tonight at McGarret's. The party starts at 10 pm and will feature instrumental stylings from the live hip hop band Type Relevant. DJ Optimus Prime, who provided cuts for the album, will also be spinning. Cover is $5.
