We all long to hear those songs that can bring us back to the roots of true American artistry; when it was about who we are, where we&#8217;ve been, and where we were heading. The kind of music you heard from the backseat of your parents&#8217; station wagon, full of life and originality, harkening back to its beginnings while still being fresh and new. That&#8217;s where Mick Hayes comes in today. He melds our history, our present, and creates the future of the genre with his somehow familiar yet innovative sound influenced by styles from across America.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Having been recognized by The Grammy Awards Committee in 2016 in the &#8220;Best Traditional R&amp;B Performance&#8221; and &#8220;Best R&amp;B Song&#8221; categories for his single &#8220;For Realski&#8217;s,&#8221; Mick is looking forward to what the future brings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mick Hayes Releases Official Music Video for \u201cHard 2 Explain\u201d \u201cHard 2 Explain\u201d Premiered on Huffington Post FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE &#8211; March 8, 2017 &#8211; Hot off the heels of his recognition by The Grammy Awards Committee in 2016 in the &#8220;Best Traditional R&amp;B Performance&#8221; and &#8220;Best R&amp;B Song&#8221; categories for his single &#8220;For Realski&#8217;s,&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7103,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7019","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-video","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-radio-guests","8":"post_format-post-format-video"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7019"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7033,"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7019\/revisions\/7033"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjagradio.com\/themic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
