This week on The Str8OutDaDen Podcast we sat down with creator of The Bar Exam, MICxSIC. The Virginia Beach emcee gives us game on how he first found hip-hop, what led him to Atlanta and why he started one of Atlanta's premier open mic series.

We also discuss "paying for play" and how it can be beneficial. As a bonus we included a new single from this month's winner of The Bar Exam, Mobile, Alabama native Big Brown.

So you know the drill...sit back...Relax and Listen!
