Mikel Rondeau

Upon first glance Mikel Rondeau appears to be a perfectly healthy adult male. One would assume that Mikel Rondeau, a mountain of a man, with fists the size of Christmas Hams, is well fed. He is not. He is, above all else, hungry. And a hungry man is an angry man.

Mikel Rondeau, former boxing champ, current skull-cracking rapper's new album Extremist Rap, is the manifesto of an angry man. Rondeau's stint as lead vocalist of hardcore band Mandatory Death, serves him well as he powers through track after track of hard hitting vitriol. With a style that can only accurately be described as B-Boy-on-bath-salts, enemies of all stripes take their licks, with extraggression reserved for the masses of inept MCs. Producer Kutdown's hard-knock drums and vintage loops provide the perfect canvas for the spilled blood of Rondeau's vanquished foes. This is rap as pugilism, fans of fustigation rejoice; those with weak chins and weak constitutions should treat it like a tourist eyeballing a darkened alleyway- that is to say, avoid Extremist Rap, at all costs.
