Mickey Factz & Pendulum Ink Present: The Dean’s List Vol. 1
The Dean’s List Vol. 1 is Here to Remind the World Why Lyricism Still Matters.
Curated by Grammy-winning songwriter and Hip Hop educator Mickey Factz, this album isn’t just a collection of songs, it’s a showcase of elite rap technique, featuring graduates from Pendulum Ink, the first school dedicated to the science of Hip Hop lyricism. From intricate rhyme patterns to layered storytelling, The Dean’s List Vol. 1 is a must-listen for Hip Hop purists, rap fans, educators, and even newcomers eager to understand what separates great rap from the rest.
“This isn’t just an album, it’s proof that rap, at its highest level, is an art form that deserves study, respect, and appreciation,” says Mickey Factz. “These artists have trained in the techniques that shaped Hip Hop’s greatest lyricists, and now they’re applying those skills on a professional level.”
Whether you’re a DJ, longtime rap fan, a music journalist, a platform, a college professor teaching Hip Hop studies, or just someone who appreciates wordplay and ingenious songwriting, this project delivers. Standout tracks like “For Sale” showcase Phd level creativity and critical commentary about commercialism, while “Memories of the Future” packages vivid storytelling with a soulful vibe, and “Dean’s List” serves as a lyrical flex of technical mastery. With Hip Hop expanding into academia and new spaces, The Dean’s List Vol. 1 is proof that rapping is a craft that can be studied, sharpened, mastered, and this album is a front-row seat to that process. Now streaming on all platforms, The Dean’s List Vol. 1 is for anyone who respects Hip Hop as an art form.
