A name synonymous with the foundations of jungle music. Understanding jungle’s power to unite and break barriers, while weaving the positive affirmations of his spiritual life as a Rastafarian into his song writing, Mikail has been one of the most consistent protagonists in the uprising uprising since 1992, responsible for seminal tracks that have transcended trend and time and albums that are sculpted with meaning and visionary energy. His most recent album ‘Ancestorz (Rootz of Jungle)’ being the peak of his achievements. Forever humble, always seeking to spread more positivity and encourage unity, and giving voice to a new generation who will carry his torch into the future, Mikail continues to spread the Congo Natty message as a performer, a musician, a label owner, a pioneer, a revolutionary, a father.
