Mic Boogie
That's Me
By Omar Mouallem
'There’s Mick Boogie the mixtape king, Mike Boogie the reality show contestant and then there’s Mic Boogie, Oshawa MC. Backed by Universal, amongst a few other small labels, Mic Boogie’s That’s Me is everything a club DJ hopes to get in his or her weekly pile of promos. Virtually every song is a club banger, with percussive drums, synthesisers, R&B or reggae hooks and in-your-face raps.' (Costa)

Another Canadian to keep tabs on - Mic Boogie! Born and raised in Oshawa, Ontario, this young suburbanite fell in love with hip hop early in the game. He looked up to groups like Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five, The Boogie Boys, and Run DMC. As the music grew and changed, so did Mic Boogie. To make a long story short, his curiosity turned into a hobby, and then a passion.

Bio
Born and raised in Oshawa, 30 mins outside of Toronto, Michael Mic Boogie Lamourie grew up in a blue collar world defined by hockey, classic rock, and General Motors.
From an early age, it was clear that his love for Hip Hop music and culture, bolstered by musical groundbreakers like Grand Master Flash & the Furious Five, the Boogie Boys, and Run DMC, Mikes interest spread from what the music meant, to how the music was made.
In the time he didnt spend playing basketball and football in high school, Mike surrounded himself with local MCs and producers, building his talent and skills as a lyricist, producer, and entertainer.
Mentored in production by local DJ Rodney Rod C Woodman, Mike soon moved on to writing his own rhymes, and developing his style.
Mic Boogie is the product of the curiosity, passion, and dedication that Mike Lamourie brings to his music, mixing the sounds of 60s and 70s classic rock with the style and flair of 80s Hip Hop. Production that can shake the room mixed with a laid back delivery thats equally at home attacking current events and hyping the crowd.
A harsh dose of reality, a comic twist, and a guarantee that youll want more are the calling cards of Toronto MC Mic Boogie.
