"Mykel Hawk – Elephant"

Mykel Hawk stomps over the beat like an elephant, dropping the most driving hook on the list. Boombap rap in its purest form - what more do hip-hop purists wish for? - TONSPION.DE


"Mykel Hawk – Elephant"

Mykel Hawk doesn’t take likely to upcoming emcees who try to play around with the culture he loves so much on his new hard-hitting jam titled “Elephant”. The gruff-voiced emcee employs a dark ominous beat to drive home his warning as he proceeds to land haymakers on unsuspecting fake emcees in the game. In his own words, the song is a “wake-up call to the next generation of would-be rappers. There are rules to this shit!” - THEWORDISBOND.COM


"Ratings: 4.5 out of 5"

“The beat hits first and sets up the ridiculous flow that follows. Lyrically this one stomps across the yard like a thousand pound ’Elephant.’ Attitude and righteous confidence are the trumpets that mark this sound. ”
— Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger) - LAonLock.com

Bio

Born in El Paso, Texas, Mykel Hawk is a Mexican American rapper best known for his raspy-voice, vivid storytelling, creative wordplay, pointed social commentary and unshakable reverence for the Hip-Hop culture. He is a self-produced rapper, crafting the majority of the beats in his songs himself. Mykel spent over a decade sharpening his abilities as an emcee by touring with and opening for legendary artists such as The Roots, De La Soul, Common, KRS One, The Beatnuts, The Arsonists and The Pharcyde. Although Mykel Hawk is heavily influenced by the “Golden Era” Hip-Hop of the 80’s and 90’s, he makes no attempt to emulate that sound. Or any sound for that matter. Instead, his music embraces Hip-Hop’s evolution while remaining true to the art of emceeing and the codes of Hip-Hop’s elements that he considers inseparable from the music itself. 

Mykel now resides on the East Coast, US. In 2019, he created a publishing company and independent label in order to self-release his future projects.
