The Sky’s Star is the second released single by poet, and rapper Micah Peay from his upcoming EP The Violet Hotel. It details the story of a young man, going through a difficult period in his life; resulting from a lonely upbringing. Instead of a traditional chorus, this song uses a poem to enhance the effect of feeling, and poetic effect.
Micah Peay began writing music during the 6th grade and started recording music in the 9th grade. As time went on, he began to dive deeper into the poetic essence of hip-hop, and now writes poetry on a daily basis and intricate hip-hop verses for the benefit of the listener and himself. He fell deeply in love with music in the 7th grade after hearing J.Cole’s Friday Night Lights Mixtape and at at this point began to write more frequently then he had in previous years. Other major influences such as Nas, Tupac, Outkast, Common, Big L, and Kendrick Lamar have helped shape his writing styles. Poets such as Langston Hughes and Walt Whitman have also helped him to become the storyteller and poet he his today. He’s 17 and from Charlotte, NC.
