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 most anticipated 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. The first single to drop will be “MikeyMo’s Theme” (produced by Dru) b/w “24/7-3sixty5" (produced by D-Cyde), which will be available in April. 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, Rass Kass, Planet Asia, Flii Stylz), Dru (Mitchy Slick, Yukmouth, Bun B), Abyss (West Bound), and Muse10. Other special quests include Dap Daniel, Abyss, Tiffany Bradford, Elaine Garduque, and all scratches by DJ Daeta (The Jimi Handtrix Crew).

In 2006 Mikey Mo got together with Dap Daniel and Abyss and put out an album titled WEST BOUND. Inspired by the West Bound Tour 2005, the West Bound album was one of the hottest hip-hop albums to come out of The Bay Area in 2006 and it 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. This year he will be headlining The West Bound Tour 2, coming late 2007.

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. |
