Hip-Hop is about paying your dues. Adhering to a strict and rigorous work ethic, constantly refining your craft, and believing that the art you are creating can sustain legitimacy in this business. Middle is an artist who fully understands the grind. The 26 year old Salem MC has been following the aforementioned paradigm for years, and his talent is finally gaining the recognition it rightfully deserves. He is an artist that relies heavily on his lyrical talent, which stands to good reason. He's got bars. Plenty of them. There are no gimmicks involved in his music, just raw lyricism, which is a delicacy that the rap game often misses. Even with catchy hooks, the Top Shelf member demonstrates that good hip-hop is built on the foundation of lyrical aptitude. Middle is a workaholic. With four projects released, and three on the way, he is able to properly manage a blossoming solo career as well as his tandem with fellow rapper Amsterdam. He's a true grinder, a true MC, and a true artist. The Northwest isn't best known for hip-hop, but artists like Middle are altering that limited market perception by letting his music and dedication speak for itself. Middle a.k.a. Bank Sinatra's word- play and uninhibited loyalty to hip-hop are the truth, in an often falsified genre. His music, ability, and potential are finally gaining a full head of steam that is long overdue, and for Middle, there is no sign of slowing down.
