So far most of Mike Regal's notoriety has come from behind the boards. The 25-year-old producer won last year's Miltown Beat Down battle and provided the beat for last year's great Reggie Bonds single with Mick Jenkins "Ol' Dirty Bastard," but he's also a rapper, and a pretty good one at that. He's hoping to release two albums by the end of the year, though his latest single comes from neither. "Gold" pairs him Regal with one of the most consistently great Milwaukee rappers of the last year, Vonny Del Fresco, over a moody, mischievous beat that takes more than a few cues from the A$AP aesthetic. It may not actually appear on either of Regal's upcoming releases, but it does a fine job whetting appetites for them.
