Mic Terror Voted Best Hip-Hop Act of 2009 by Chicago Reader

via. FSD.

A big congratulatory toast is in order for Mic Terror who was voted Chicago's Best Hip-Hop Act of 2009 by the Chicago Reader. This is definitely a nice honor and accolade from the Reader.

“Swagger” has to be the most overused word in hip-hop today—your mom’s probably waiting for a good moment to drop it into conversation—and even after it goes out of style, the ineffable combination of skill, style, and braggadocio will remain the single most crucial quality of a good MC. Mic Terror has swagger to spare. He had it when was just some dude catching a bit of reflected shine off the Cool Kids; he had it when he got his first bump of national exposure via a beef with east-coast rapper Mazzi, who was dissing the tight-pants-wearing ungangsta hip-hop scene that Terror’s part of; and he really started swinging it around after a consensus emerged that the battle had been a Mic Terror victory.

I also noticed that the readers (not to be confused with the Reader) placed Project Mayhem as their top choice. So congrats to Lennon and the crew as well!
