Mike Jones “Grind like everyone else.”

Wizdom

Before his name and number became a national phenomenon Mike Jones had to grind like everyone else. His diamonds are gigantic and some will even say that his ego is the same way. However, in Mike’s eyes, he deserves more credit than he’s received and a little less criticism.

Placed in a Houston rap scene that already boasted a share of local heavyweights Mike Jones found the struggle to be overwhelming and truthfully wanted to quit pursuing his rap career. If it hadn’t been for his grandmother’s constant advice we wouldn’t even know who Mike Jones is. He gives his grandmother the credit for all his success and it would seem corny if he wasn’t so sincere about the matter. In fact, he sounds sincere about everything almost to the point where you might agree with him if you got the chance to speak with him.

Other talking about his grandmother’s influence on him Mr. Jones spoke on the Houston rap scene and his place on the totem pole. His perspective is almost Hollywood when he talks about himself, however there’s a presence or characteristic that keeps his opinions seemingly well-founded. It could leave you thinking that he was right for leaving Swishahouse and starting his own label. It could leave you with an understanding of why he made a movie to complement his album. You just might see why he wears all the jewelry. When you see where a man came from you can see where a man is coming from. Don’t you remember back then?
