Originally
from Jamaica Queens, NY, MIKEY
MO THE MC, now resides in
the Bay Area. From East Coast to West
Coast, Mikey Mo brings lyrical knowledge
and real life content through his
music, which he calls “Reality
Rap”. Mikey Mo’s life
speaks through his music and his music
speaks to all those living in that
everyday hustle. His natural rhyming
skills and stage presence makes him
an “MC” that stands out
above the rest.
After consistently putting out some
of the hottest mixtapes over the past
couple of years and creating a huge
buzz for himself, Mikey Mo “The
MC” is finally releasing one
of the dopest independent hip-hop
albums of the year titled FOCUSED.
Drawn from the struggles and sacrifices
in his life, this album is full of
personal experiences with lyrics and
beats that complements each other
perfectly. With his debut single &
video, “Mikey Mo’s Theme”,
already getting major buzz in the
streets and play on college radio,
his album is guaranteed to leave no
one disappointed. FOCUSED is definitely
hip-hop in its rawest form. No cookie
cutter lyrics or water down beats,
just straight raw hip-hop! Finally
an album that lives up to it‘s
expectations.
FOCUSED features
bangin’ production from D-Cyde
(Ya Boy, Big Rich, Planet Asia), Dru
(Mitchy Slick, Yukmouth, Bun B), Abyss,
Dap Daniel, and Muse10. Other special
guests include Dap Daniel, Abyss,
Tiffany Bradford, Elaine Garduque,
and cuts by DJ Daeta (The Jimi Handtrix
Crew).
Mikey Mo may be new to the game but
his status as an MC has reached the
heights of those established artists
that have been around for years. He’s
made a name for himself during the
past couple of years with the release
of several mixtapes; HUNGER PAINZ
1 (2005), MUFFIN MAN (2006), and currently
HUNGER PAINZ 2 “Still Hungry”
(2007), which he collaborated with
Dap Daniel. He’s made appearances
on several other mixtapes as well,
including Dap Daniel – Storm
Watch, DJ Deuce Ace – Dear Tara
Hill, and Hoeks & Viseone –
PlayBay. Other notable projects he’s
appeared on are Abyss’s debut
album From Now On and Xienhow presents
The Bay Connect.
In 2006 Mikey Mo got together with
Dap Daniel and Abyss and released
an album titled WEST BOUND. Inspired
by the West Bound Tour 2005, the West
Bound album was one of the most slept
on hip-hop albums to come out of The
Bay Area in 2006, but it definitely
gave Mikey Mo more recognition as
an MC. As part of the West Bound Tour
2005, Mikey Mo was doing shows throughout
the West Coast with Abyss, Dap Daniel,
Artson, & The Jimi Handtrix Crew.
Last year he opened up for the GCM
Tour, which featured Planet Asia,
Casual, Rasco, Cali Agents, &
Flii Stylz. Mikey Mo will be headlining
The West Bound Tour 2, coming 2008.
Mikey Mo has opened up and shared
the same stage with such artists as;
Strong Arm Steady, Tha Alkaholiks,
Wyclef, Planet Asia, Casual, Huey,
Self Scientific, Opio, A Plus, Baby
Jaymes, Abstract Rude and many more.
Look out for Mikey Mo “The MC”
on Dap Daniel’s debut album
RAWDICULOUS (2008), Abyss’s
sophomore album THE BRAINSTORM (2008),
& West Bound’s follow up
album WEST BOUND pt. 2 (2008). He’s
also working on HUNGER PAINZ 3, a
double disc mixtape due out in 2008.
Influenced by many different artists,
Mikey Mo “The MC” sets
himself apart by being himself and
not conforming to the water-down hip-hop
we hear today. With 3sixty5 Records
behind him one-hundred percent, Mikey
Mo “The MC” will continue
to bring that raw hip-hop and establish
a new platform for himself. |
