Scrap Metal Review In RIFT MAGAZINE
The album reveals the synergistic capacity of three boundless musicians. Everything about this record is pulsing, moving with grimacing force, revealing a deep seated inquisitiveness through an air of existential angst.

ESGC Review in RIFT MAGAZINE !
Just when the world thought hip hop was turning in its rotting grave; a young, lippy and fearless MC comes out of the woodwork to lay down the nearly criminal and lawless lyrics placed within the album “Economy Size goDD Costume.”

ESGC Review on UGSMAG.com (Canada)
Do you ever get that feeling that reality is out to destroy you? That most of your whole life has been a waste of time? That society breeds us to adopt and display personalities not our own? That our hero’s are false, life is nothing more than boring, and that even pessimists are full of crap?

Ecid Interview w/Midwest Underground
I sat down with the Bargain Junkie Himself at his Economy Sized Recording Studio on the Northern edge of Minneapolis during the early afternoon. Armed with only my Olymous_4100 Digital Voice Recorder a can of Green Tea and an objective I was unable to recall. Since he did not send me a press release I decided to do an interview and just have him explain it.

SLUG Magazine Review Of ESGC !
With a penchant for crafting sinister imagery and flipping American clichés into semiotic finger traps, Ecid shows a complex understanding of contemporary American identity.

The listener who does make the effort to understand his carefully crafted verbal tapestries will be justly rewarded.

Sounding like a busy factory with imagery taking you through different moods and environments while staying consistent to one overall atmosphere all the way through.

MidwestUnderground.org Reviews "Economy Size goDD Costume"
The lyrics are so next level you wish everyone in the room would shut up so you don't miss a line.

ESGC REVIEW IN CITY PAGES
Economy Size goDD Costume is all minor-key bass, claustrophobic drums, and zombie-film atmospherics, with Ecid's breathlessly manic voice—ranging from a low, seething snarl to an Eminem harangue minus the clownishness—providing the narrative. It's an album worth listening to mostly during those times when you're fucked-up and anxious, and wondering if there's anyone else on that same wavelength.

"Phantom Of The Operation" Review On Midwest Underground.com
The lyrics are real shit, Jordan Miche does a really good job illustrating his perception of this world. So pick one up soon it’s a good ass album.

"Blind Cinema Sessions" Review on Midwest Underground.com
Front to back this album is one of the best I have heard in my life. I do not bullshit this one is really that good. Anyone who sleeps on this album should be very ashamed of themselves.

Blind Cinema Review in City Pages
"He's got this angry-hornet buzz of a voice that makes Cypress Hill's B-Real sound as smooth as Ice T"

STYLE 43 Reviews Jordan Michés "Phantom Of The Operation"
At first listen I sat in a bar with my headphones on. I didn't leave my table until this debut album was over, then I found myself playing it all over again as I walked home....

Ecid's Biograffiti Reviewed By The Suicide Journalist
"Biograffiti" is definitely much more compelling than a lot of the underground stuff you might have to sift through to find decent music.

ECID Interview with Brady O'Rourke at DUnation.com
Enter “Biograffitti.” It's a complex blend of several things; personal tales, darkness and art. Music's somewhere in there too, if not only to work as a vehicle to carry Ecid's emotional brand of hip-hop. “It's artistic and it's hip-hop, so that's where the graffiti comes into it. I like what graffiti stands for. It's like they call ‘this' graffiti and this is bad, but then other things are considered art. Whatever,” said Ecid.
