A synchronicity this week at JAC's Judo involving two players named Mike got me thinking. I blogged before about "Double" "L's" but not about Mike's.
It was around 1991 when "Nomad" released their classic " (I wanna give you) Devotion" featuring MC "Mikee Freedom" from my hometown of Bristol. It was around this time I first met someone in person, who identified as a "rapper". He was also called "Mike" aka MC Chillum.
A few years prior The Beastie Boys had released their 1st LP "Licensed to ill" and inspired by them Chillum had worn a VW badge around his neck on a chain. The classic line up of the Beastie Boys comprised of three MC's and a DJ, two Adam's and two Mike's (Mix Master Mike , Mike D , Ad Rock & MCA )
