About Me |

Mike West- Rapper,Songwriter Grinding and Hustling his way to the top of Hip Hop.Mike West has what it takes to be a formidable artist in the game. He believes in his skills, has the drive and determination of a tiger, and will not take “no” for an answer.Mike West is a product of two completely different environments- the gang bang warfare in Los Angeles,Ca and the booty shake scene of the Dirty South. He is apart of and has strong ties with the late great Tupac’s “Thug Life Family” and Miami’s own “Luke Records & Films”."The people in my life growing up were all street hustlers. Most of them lived hard and died young. My father wasn’t around so these were the people that I gravitated to. Thank god I had the chance to get out of there and saw that the world was bigger when I left South Florida” Says Mike about his upbringing.While in Miami he had his chance encounter with the Dirty South’s 1st musical legend and King of Miami, Luther Campbell. There he was given the opportunity to work side by side for his Independent Label, “Luke Records & Films” as the Head of Promotions. He also guest DJ’d various clubs throughout the area and started building his underground fan base. This is when he knew that day he wanted to step out of the shadows and jump into the limelight as a recording artist.“I went on the road with Luke and that’s where I saw how he got nothing but love from his fans. Pitbull and I came from that era. We were young, aggressive, and hungry to succeed in this business. Even today, Luke still encourages me not to give up and showed me the Love/Hate relationship of the music industry.”While Pitbull, Rick Ross, and others from South Florida finally got the respect and notoriety that they deserved, Mike West’s career seemed to stall. But his determination finally paid off when he got his own distribution for his 2000 debut album, “They Never Knew.” Sam Goody’s Music and other stores throughout South Florida sold his album locally and Mike West hit the streets with promotions. He was able to move 10,000 units between those stores and his trunk and got enough money to start his label, Hangtime Entertainment.The next few years found Mike West continuing to do heavy promotions and media features in national magazines such as The Source, XXL, Hip Hop Weekly, Ozone, and many others.on the road doing a series of shows in clubs throughout the South. Mike West also spent time recording a flurry of new songs for his upcoming album, “A Westside Story: Chapter 1” due out in Spring 2008. With the help of musical Impresarios and West Coast legends Daz Dillinger and the Diaz Bros they have been more determined to ensure that Mike West will be the next hottest lyricist to come out of Florida and California.Mike West is continuing to hit the streets selling his mixtapes, in the studios collaborating with some of hip hop’s finest, and is also out and about hitting red carpet events from Miami to Los Angeles. Mike West is more determined than ever to also show the world that he belongs in the rankings of the greatest lyricists of all time.
