Oh, here is a review of the album:
Imagine k-os backed by Ben Harper’s band and you’ve got Kae Sun. The Steel Town singer fuses hip hop, soul and rock with a little folk in such a way that could please most anyone’s ears. However, he so finely strikes a balance between the genres that hard-core fans of any of them will be left wanting more and wishing Sun has pushed himself more. The stand-out track on this EP is Metropolis, which with its soulful bass line, poppy guitar riffs and funky chorus, deserves radio play." Maryam Siddiqi, National Post

Hiya,
The album is out, and the response has been really good. We're #2 on the CFMU charts right now along with charting at four other stations across Canada, and I woke up this morning to find us as a 'Fabulous New Indie Arrival' on the iTunes storefront.
Wow. Hope to see you out at the shows.

Hiya,

Now Kae Sun unveils the Ghost Town Prophecy EP, a deeply moving set of richly poetic, diverse statements. An incisive songwriter, each tune is a triumph, a sonic exploration that explores both sides of the globalization coin, urban sprawl and the lessons of both Africa and the West. A collage of styles, Kae Sun reinvigorates hip-hop with Church Gospel, springtime reggae, complex jazz, guitar rock and spoken word, creating a diverse collection built upon a foundation of clever musicianship and Kae's enrapturing delivery.
On "Where Did Everybody Go," a soulful exploration that borrows inspiration from Latin jazz and early funk, Kae Sun explores self worth from the perspective of a ballpoint pen scribbling poetry from the shaking hands of a tattered soul, while on "Kidnapped," arguably the loudest, rockiest exercise, Kae ponders life's worth if music's spirituality disappeared. "Stay Up," a radio-friendly reggae romp reminds us all how gorgeous life can be if we believe so, while closer "Angels By Day" is Kae Sun's tribute to his upbringing, fusing Gospel lyricism with intense, blues-quelled harmonies. Plus, a dedication to the beauty and traditions of conscious hip-hop drive the Ghost Town Prophecy EP, especially on Kae Sun's adopted hometown tribute "Living In The City" and spoken-word manifesto "Metropolis." An engaging, vastly mature work, Ghost Town Prophecy EP is the album Kae Sun has been meaning to make all his life, an evocative patchwork of ideas, images and contagious melodies that resonate with anyone in need of a pick me up, a good think or a good dance. Ghost Town Prophecy EP is a uniquely multicultural, expansive collection that transcends genres to create one of its own; part African, part Canadian, globalized but local, soulful but evocative and entirely glorious.
Ghost Town Prophecy has charted at #10 on CFMU and is being released in the UK by Last Press Label in February, with a European Vinyl Release on Wire Globe Recordings simultaneously. A European Tour will follow.

Bio:
In a city that struggles for its own identity, the MicLordz have grown into a group that can be distinguished amongst hip hop's elite. AlerG and Boots do not only have mass appeal to the mainstream they also appeal to the underground and in most instances fans scream for the gritty and wild performances to continue. Having developed a great stage presences the MicLordz treat crowds to a perfect mix of show and talent allowing everyone watching to feel apart of the performance.
The crew was officially formed less than 4 years ago, and the progression and maturity of their music is growing daily. From working together on talent shows in their teenage years, and now a full band rocking 10,000 people venues these entertainers have always had chemistry on the stage and meshing styles and vocals that leave the fans begging for more.
