From the moment that Michael Eric Hill was born he was different. Brooklyn hospital doctors told his parents that he would only live three weeks, a thyroid condition his mother had was believed to have been passed along to her son. But Odie Hill had faith. She not only believed her son would survive spending three weeks hooked up to tubes in the hospital, but being a deeply religious woman, she believed her son was meant for nothing less than greatness.
Raised in the neighborhood of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Michael was surrounded by an undeniable energy that he couldn't escape. At an early age hip hop not only found its way into his home, but in to his blood. Throwing concerts for his toys by gathering them around the portable turntable in the living room of his parents' home, young Mike would play a mixture of songs by U.T.F.O., Roxanne Shante, Rod Stewart and Rick Springfield. These varied selections of records would stay with him and help him develop his production and deejaying style in the future.
In 2003 Black Panther put out his debut album on Third Earth Music, "The Darkest Night Ever". All 17 tracks received nothing but positive feedback and publicity from fans and critics. From the hottest MCs working over Panther's always original and consistent beats, it showcased a talent that has yet to be discovered.
Now, in 2007, after getting back behind the turntables this past year at clubs and making a name for himself amongst the underground hip hop world of the city streets of New York, Panther is back with the new album, "My Eternal Winter". This one will prove to be not just a follow-up album, but a step above what we have already heard from him. Once again plan to be blown away by raw and explosive lyrics from some of the best unknown and known MCs out there and beats that can not be ignored.
