Mickey Factz to

Mark Anthony Williams Jr. (born July 13, 1982), better known by his stage name Mickey Factz, is an American hip hop recording artist from the Bronx borough of New York City, New York.

Early life Mickey Factz attended Adlai E. Stevenson High School, which is known for being the high school that hip hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa attended. The school is notable for delivering students of musical prowess.

Factz was exposed to music at an early age and his father would frequently rap to him. In return, he began reciting his very own rhymes, watching music videos, and studying the performances of his favorite music artists. After high school, Factz went to New York University School of Law where he dropped out to pursue music

Music career In Search of N*E*R*D (2006) Mickey Factz did many freestyles over N.E.R.D instrumentals on In Search of N*E*R*D (2006) in which he specifically rapped over N*E*R*D instrumentals. Here Mickey Factz collaborated with Steve-O who pushed him to really begin to listen to N*E*R*D and served as creative inspiration. Factz then worked to chop up the beats and make the project unique, gaining the attention of Pharrell himself.

Flashback Volume: 1: Back to the Future Flashback Vol.1: Back to the Future (2007), which was created in order to pay homage to the type of music that Factz grew up with. Mickey recorded about 40 tracks in total for this album and even after recording, he entered into another process that included the remix of over half the songs and instrumentals.

The Leak, Volume 1: The Understanding For 2008's The Leak, Vol.1: The Understanding, Factz leaked one song every week on MySpace for 17 weeks. Factz's song-per-week release strategy was also used for The Leak, Vol.2: The Inspiration, The music video for "Rockin' N Rollin'", featuring The Cool Kids and produced by Precize, was added to rotation at MTV.

Battery Records & The Achievement (2010-2011) Factz contributed a song, "Rocker", to the soundtrack of the Fight Night Round 4 video game, and he signed to Battery Records in May 2010. Mickey Factz became the new member of All City Chess Club when Lupe Fiasco said at a radio station "Mickey Factz is part of All City Chess Club." "I’m Better Than You" (2010) was Mickey’s way of expressing his sense of confidence and recognition of the competitiveness of music. Love.Lust.Lost (2011) was an album based on one of Factz’s past relationships.

Mickey Mause In 2012, Factz tried to release Mickey MauSe under his label, but they considered it to be too artistic and did not back it up. Factz went on to release this experimental project himself and in the album, Mickey Mause became his pseudo character, thrown into the 1980s as a graffiti writer who was later kicked out by his parents for being a troubled youth. This project represented what it truly meant to be an artist and much research was done in order to learn about Mickey Mouse and that era of time. Lyrically, this mixtape is known for being one of Factz’ best and gained him the opportunity to become closer to Lupe Fiasco.

In a 2015 interview with hip hop blog The Music Stash, Factz said a sequel to Mickey Mause called Mau2e was scheduled for Christmas.

Other ventures Television Factz appeared in a Honda commercial later that year as a spokesman for the Accord.
