Melissa Czarnik with Eric Mire Band

Local Live: Live on 91.7 WMSE June 2 2009

By Jamie Lee Rake
 
Melissa Czarnik and Eric Mire are among East Side Milwaukee's more verbally dexterous rappers. Their sociopolitical M.C.-ing and the organic soul/jazz vibes on their latest studio projects transfer well to a live setting in one of the city's favorite noncommercial radio stations, WMSE. Saxophone, bass, guitar and a battery of percussion wend around Czarnik's often staccato flow. YouTube clips demonstrate that Czarnik and Mire's head-nodding, slinky combination of musical talent and adept rhyme spitting works masterfully in coffeehouse settings as well as more traditional hip-hop stages. These four songs deliver that point as well. It’s the next best thing to being there live.

You gotta be kidding me here. Clearly you just type words with no understanding of the subject. Verbally dexterous? Have you ever listened to an emcee that was good? Can someone please start using a standard for referencing quality in hip hop?
