Michael Myerz poses outside Atlanta’s historic Plaza Theatre when rapping to karaoke tracks in a friends’ basement, he could use his rap skills to impress girls. “I started rapping and making up stupid lyrics to the karaoke instrumental of ‘Slim Shady’. I used my so-called rap skills to get the girls and well, then it became an easy way for me to get friend-zoned really fast.” (If you were wondering where the moniker came from, his dad is named Fred, his brother is named Jason so you do the math…) When you talk to Myerz, he is animated and quick witted, as if Larry David were a member of the Beastie Boys. And what especially stands out is that he is a Jewish rapper living in what may be considered America’s hip hop mecca: Atlanta.
