The Insomniac release (a division of the insider publication of the same name) delivers performances from artists with solid followings such as Kool Keith, MF Doom, Mystic, Bahamadia, Planet Asia, Styles of Beyond and others. Top-of-the-line battle emcees who have made names for themselves, such as Blaze Battle champ Breez Evahflowin, make appearances. Immortal Technique who was featured in last month’s issue of The Source are featured as well. The project’s executive producer, who was originally signed to B Boy Records in the Bronx back in the 80’s and is also the founder of Insomniac Magazine, Iz-Real, also lays down some lyrical gems along side some of the artists. He comments to AllHipHop.com, "this is a collection of some of the top lyrical talent on the planet. These artists are favorites among fans who crave quality hip hop and top notch lyrics." Each copy of The Mic Planet Sessions comes with a limited edition hip-hop trading card that features info and stats on select artists from the release. Insomniac also gives purchasers the ability to get more cards free by mail. As a side note, Insomniac, the long time quarterly magazine is also celebrating its 7-Year Anniversary with a new issue that features a "Where Are They Now" theme with interviews with 80’s hip-hop stars such as stars as T La Rock, Just-Ice and MC Shan. The special issue also features an engaging interview with radio drama queen Wendy Williams, hip-hop business articles and other items of interest. Both the 7 Year Anniversary Issue and The Mic Planet Sessions CD and vinyl are available in stores such as Tower and Virgin and also on Insomniac’s websites www.InsomniacMagazine.com and www.InsomniacMusic.com.
