Name: Mike West
Reppin’: Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Genre: Rap
The name Mike West is synonymous with Florida hip-hop. With a resume that includes working with international superstar Pitbull, multi-platinum crooner Jason Derulo, even Luke Records and Films and various other notable record labels, this multi-talented songwriter/ rapper/ composer has achieved legendary status in the game.
He turned his company Big Fro Music into an independent music distributor for his catalogue of albums and mixtapes and established industry relationships that stretch from his native Broward County to his Los Angeles second home.
Classic cuts such as “Keep It Going” featuring Jason Derulo, “Grand Finale” featuring Pitbull, “Till The Morning Rise” featuring Urban Mystic and the electrifying Jibba Jaw-produced “Get Your Money” kept his name ringing on the underground with a cult-like following of fans. For his next move, this registered Grammy voter/ musician is on the verge of releasing long-awaited EP A West Side Story: Chapter One and mixtape Divide & Conquer 4.
“The music I create now has to be perfected far better than how I used to put records out—from recording to delivery to mixing and mastering each song,” West points out. “The older music is good too, but my old fans will be able to hear the growth. And the new fans will appreciated it too.”
