Underground Artist of the Week: Mighty

This weeks underground artist of the week is Mighty. If you wonder how I come about my means to select the artist, its one of two ways. The preferred way is a suggestion from someone into my inbox, but if that is not found and all else fails, I Google it and select the first lucky one to pop up, which has yet to fail me in my mission.
Mighty's story states that he was once part of a group called DX (formerly Dynamix) and that this group was well known. I, myself, do not know who Dynamix was so I looked it up online and couldn't find anything. I looked on you-tube, Google, and found no traces of this group. His info on Facebook says that he still regularly does shows with DX but I could not find show info online either. This of course is not super important being I am focusing on Mighty, so let's get on with it. Mighty's name drop list features people like E-40, Down aka Kilo, and Mighty performed at Hot Portland Nights with Pitbull for Jammin 107.5 when that was still its name. Mighty has two CDs I found on CD Baby, One Way Ticket and Like A.
I started off listening to One Way Ticket, which was also the title of the first song. Mighty has the ability to be fast with his lyrics which was nice, but I wasn't expecting the voice I heard when he started. He does have a higher pitch voice then I would have assumed, but I am not knocking it. It was a breath of fresh air to not hear the same old bars and beat that most people put out anymore. Sometimes I feel like rappers are afraid to put inflection on their words, when that is what grabs my attention. As I continued to listen to the album I enjoyed song 3 " Like A" which was also the title of his second CD listed on CD Baby. It was fun, had a great beat, and kept my attention. I enjoyed "Bonnie and Clyde" as well, even though that concept has been done many times.
The songs I didn't find so appealing were "Your so high" mainly due to repetition as well as "Punchin" for the same reason. All in all the album was good and I would buy a copy if I had seen Mighty at a show slinging CDs after his set.
Album number 2, " Like A" was actually a single for sale on CD baby. This song is definitely my favorite, by Mighty, and I can understand why he showcases it by itself. The Whole CD can be found for $9.99 or you can buy individual songs for $0.99 a piece.
Mighty's look online showed me that again having the time and money to afford a good photographer and take some good pictures goes a long way. His pictures showed me a level of professionalism that is important in the business and that he was serious about the product he was selling, himself. I felt that Mighty was an underground Portland act that I would pay admission to see and I would recommend him to a friend. All in all I gave him an 8 out of 10 and look forward to what he has to come in the future. So look for Mighty coming to a local venue near you and maybe one day to pack a stadium far away. Good luck Mighty and I wish you the best. Just remember, all it takes is to bust your ass (and musical talent).
