By Paul Glanting

Peep an MC who fuses the rough-and-tumble tales that'd be expected from a Jamaica Queens upbringing with Hyphy tales of Bay Area grinding. The lyrical wizard who melds both the Golden Gate and the Brooklyn bridges, is Mikey Mo The MC, who's spent considerable time on both coasts perfecting a style that is what he calls "Reality Rap." Building his reputation through several heavily hyped mixtapes, Mikey Mo is now ready to drop his debut banger Focused featuring production from the same beatsmiths who've worked with Bun B and Yukmouth. The album is full of what Mo calls "West Coast vibe and East Coast sway." "24/7-3 Sixty 5" is a joint exemplary of Mikey Mo's revolutionary hip-hop hybrid, that showcases the Mo's ability to spit that grimy ish' yet still lay out Hyphy party anthems. So throw on your Timberlands, your stunner shades and your Giants cap (baseball or football) and bump Mikey Mo, a man of many coasts.
