INTERVIEW WITH MIC BOYD

Mic Boyd First off, thanks for taking the time to sit down and answer these questions. Now, for those that don't know, who is Mic Boyd?

Mic Boyd is a 26 year old male from Enfield, Nova Scotia. He enjoys the rapping.

Where does your family's musical ability come from?

I guess my dad - he's been in a band since high school and we've just been around it our whole lives.

Let's talk a bit about your album, "Lost in the Woods." Anything behind the title?

It just means I'm lost in life - like when it comes to me getting my shit together and growing up. And I live in Enfield - a small town in the woods, and the thing is you grow up and move away from the small town like most other people but I never did (yet)...so "lost in the woods."

What can people expect when they check out your CD?

Really just something different from most of the music coming out these days - it's not your typical rap but it's still got a good feel.

The album's been out for about a couple months now, what has the feedback been like so far?

Really good – I’ve been getting some good reviews both on the web and in magazines. And all my friends seem to like it - but they might just be being nice to me...

What would you say is the biggest difference between you and your brother?

Luke lives a more serious life and bases it on hip hop and you can tell that in his songs. My life is more of a joke and I try not to take hip hop too serious.

Knowing how brothers can be, did the two of you ever butt heads while working on the album?

Oh we're messed when it comes to making music (lol). We disagree so much and then agree on the same thing five seconds later.

Where do you think Canadian - and Nova Scotian - hip hop are headed?

I never really know how to answer this question just ‘cause it's hard to predict the future. Anyone could come out of nowhere with just a totally different sound that breaks through into America...but so far no one has really been selling major records down there.

What do you have in store as far as future projects go?

Just working on Luke's new album with him and we're shooting a video for the second single of my album "True Love."

Is there anything else you'd like to add before we call it an interview?

Stay fit and have fun.
