Its like all I ever wanted was a girl with respect and a 3rd eye, see DKNY ain't what makes you fly

About Me

Sorry if I hit you up by what seems like randomness, but obviously you must know someone I do...6 degrees of sep right? Anyways, say hello or drop me a message. I'll hit you back. My name is Mike, and I run a music management company and a promotions company as well. I'm currently in the process of helping start up a record label with two of the artists I work with. Oh No and Roc C. With one of the illest Producers ever, and a dope MC, its bout to be on. Music is my lifeline. I started off with nothing but the drive to make it. Learning everything along the way. Learning from both my mistakes and successes. I love everything that is involved with music. The feeling, the work, and the people that I am blessed to work with. From Oh No(Stones Throw) to the dj crew IF2 (P-Trix, StillWil, Spinobi (who's also holding it down for Ozomatli), ClenzRoc,Aslan and Dynamix) among others. The love and the passion is what drives me. We all have a good time doing what we do, and we're good at it. I don't like to talk too much about myself, then again who does but since this is about me...haha. I'm a very humbled, respectful, and sincere person. I believe that everyone should be treated as equals until they lose that right. There have been certain people that have lost that right. Loyalty is key in the life that I live. As is respect. Self-respect is needed first tho, before you can respect others. I've found that self-respect and in turn I've found my loyalty. I dunno, maybe just a tangent thought. In a social setting, I enjoy watching and soaking in what the people around me are doing. You'd be surprised how much you can learn by just watching and observing. Until I've assessed the scene, I prefer to keep to myself. Perhaps thats why some call me an introvert, I prefer to think as it being my analytical self, and from there I can play my cards. Most recently I've come to realize who the real players in my life are. We've been down too many times to stay that way. And now that we're all up, we are still down. As a whole we're all in this together, and my true fam knows where we be...Anything else you wanna know or if you just wanna wax a lil hit me up! Real Talk!!! haha...
