This year Mikey Mo is getting ready to drop his new album, RULE BY DECREE, which is a collaboration project between Mikey Mo and producer Sanabria from Venezuela. Sanabria produced the entire album with beats that take you back to the golden era of hip-hop. On this album, Mikey Mo gets more political and uses it as a platform for him to speak out about the present conditions of society, the struggling economy, and the misappropriation of wealth. Nowhere is this more evident than on lead single “Freedom Ain’t Free”.
"Freedom Ain't Free is a politically driven song about making it in this world”, says Mikey Mo The MC. “Everything has a price and you can't do what you want to do unless you have money. Freedom has a price!"
Mikey Mo The MC has been putting it down for years and has made a name for himself by releasing numerous mixtapes, collaborated and appeared on many projects, rocking shows throughout the west coast and releasing some classic underground albums.
In 2006 Mikey Mo got together with Abyss and Dap Daniel and released an album titled WEST BOUND. Inspired by the West Bound Tour 2005, the West Bound album was a small independent release but it definitely gave Mikey Mo more recognition as an MC. Aside from the West Bound Tour in 2005 Mikey Mo also opened up for the GCM Tour that year, which featured Planet Asia, Casual, Rasco, Cali Agents, & Flii Stylz.
In 2007 Mikey Mo released his debut album titled FOCUSED. Drawn from the struggles and sacrifices in his life, FOCUSED is full of personal experiences with lyrics and beats that complements each other perfectly. The first single and video, “Mikey Mo’s Theme”, was featured on HipHopGame.com. Also Urb Magazine’s website featured Mikey Mo and nominated him for “Urb Magazine Next 1000” and Okayplayer.com gave FOCUSED 3 afros out of 5 saying, “Mikey Mo The MC is one of the most balanced rappers I’ve came across in quite a while”.
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 in 2011 and beyond!
