Mike Jones New Album Voice of The Streets

Mike Jones Reveals New Look, Preparing To Release Sophomore Album : Voice of The Streets.

“I speak for the people,” Jones explains about his choice of album title. “Everybody whose voice is important in their community and the game, they consider themselves a voice. My voice is very relevant in this game. I let them know my voice is still being heard and listened to by people in the streets.” Mike Jones

Check out the lead single below. Drop and Gimme 50 featuring Hurricane Chris. "Voice of The Streets" features all new tracks.

Listen to Mike Jones "Drop and Gimme 50" Feat. Hurricane Chris

DJ Smurf a.k.a. Mr. Collipark, producer for multiple Ying Yang Twins singles including “Wait (The Whisper Song)” collaborates with Jones on a few of his hot new songs, including the hypnotic first single, “Drop and Gimme 50” and the insanely catchy and hilarious MySpace-leaked joint, “Crunchin’ Munch.” On this classic weed cut, the South’s most lovable rhymesayer pays homage to the sweet snack he loves to eat while puffing.

Jones continues to flaunt his newfound success on “Anything But Broke,” produced by DJ Toomp (T.I., Kanye West). He serenades the ladies with the seductively sweet “Next To You,” crafted by J.R. Rotem (Snoop, Britney Spears), and beatsmiths Usual Suspects lace Jones with another ode to honeys, “Cuddy Buddy” featuring fellow Southern rap star Lil’ Wayne, Twista and a soulful hook from R&B artist T-Pain.

“I love the female songs,” shares Jones. “Mike Jones is one of many. I’m not nailed into one stereotype. Mike Jones can make all music. He’s not afraid to open up and let the world know who he is. I’m going to let you know the ups and downs of Mike Jones. Voice of the Streets is how I wanted my first album, Who Is Mike Jones ? to be. Now you can see my writing skills that I wrote for Lil’ Mo and LeToya Luckett. You will really be able to see another side to Mike Jones.

Despite the obvious odds stacked against him and the obstacles in his path, hip-hop’s hardest working MC overcame them all to become one of the most recognizable voices in rap music. “Nobody believed in me,” he tells. “They told me I couldn’t do it. I had to turn a negative into a positive. That’s what I did. I had to show the world that if you work and play and grind like me, you can turn any negative situation into a positive situation.”

Aided by a confident, charismatic flow, Mike Jones exploded onto the national scene in 2005 with his block-bending break out single, “Still Tippin’” and follow-up smash, “Back Then.” Introducing the world to Texas culture, Mike Jones went on to sell 1.5 million units of his Warner Bros/Asylum Records debut, Who Is Mike Jones ?

“I’m going to rep Houston forever,” he states. “We’ve always had the torch. The media just came and got on to what we were doing in 05’. We’ve been doing this for a long time, though”

Music isn’t the only scene Mike Jones has managed to infiltrate. He also runs two charity organizations, Ice Age for Kids and American Dream Foundation, and is the proud proprietor of one of Houston’s most popular nightclubs. “Club Ice Age gets celebrities in there every Sunday,” he says with pride. “Eva Pigford, Vivica Fox, Vida Guerra, Morris Chestnutt, Tracy McGrady and Meagan Good. You can see why I call myself the Mayor.”

Late Replica Rolex Watchesin the administration replica Watchesof Andrew Johnson, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant quarreled with Replica Rolex Watchesthe President and aligned himself with the Radical Republicans. He was, as the symbol of Union victory during the Civil War, their logical candidate Fake Watchesfor President in 1868.

When he Replica Rolex Watcheswas elected, the American Rolex Replicapeople hoped for an end to turmoil. Grant provided neither vigor nor reform. Looking to Congress for direction, he seemed bewildered. One visitor to the White House noted "a puzzled pathos, as of a man with a problem before him of which he does not understand the terms."

Born in 1822,Rolex Replica Grant was the son of an Ohio tanner. He went to West Point rather against his will and graduated in the middle of his class. In the Mexican War he fought Fake Watchesunder Gen. Zachary Taylor.

At the replica rolexoutbreak of the Civil War, Replica RolexGrant was working in his father’s leather store in Galena, Illinois. He Rolex Replicawas appointed by the Governor to command an unruly volunteer regiment. Grant whipped it into shape and by September 1861 he had risen to the rank ofreplica rolex brigadier general of volunteers.

He sought to winReplica Rolex Watches control of the Mississippi Valley. In February 1862 he took Fort Henry and attacked Fort Donelson. When the Confederate commander asked for terms, Grant replied, Fake Rolex Watches"No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted." The Confederates surrendered, Replica Rolexand President Lincoln promoted Grant to major general of volunteers.

At Shiloh in April,Replica Rolex Grant Replica Rolexfought one of the bloodiest battles in the West and came out less well.Replica Rolex President Replica RolexLincoln fended off demands for his removal by saying, "I can’t spare this Replica Watchman—he fights."

For hisreplica rolex watch next major replica rolexobjective, Grant maneuvered and fought skillfully to win Vicksburg, the key city on Replica Rolexthe Mississippi, and Replica Rolex Watchesthus cut the Confederacy in two. Then he broke the Replica Rolex watchesConfederate hold replica rolex daytonaon Chattanooga.

Lincolnreplica rolex appointedreplica rolex him General-in-Chief in March 1864. Grant directed Sherman to drive through the rolex replica watchesSouth whilereplica rolex he himself, with the Army of the Potomac, pinned down Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army fake rolex watchesof Northern Virginia.

Finally, on replica breitlingApril 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Lee surrendered. Grant wrote out magnanimous terms of surrender that would prevent treason trials.

As President, replica rolex submarinerGrant presided over the Government much as he had run the Army. Indeed he brought part of his Army Replica Rolex Submarinerstaff to the White House.

Although a man Replica Rolex Watchof scrupulous honesty, Grant as President accepted handsome presents from admirers. Worse, he allowed himself to be seen with two speculators, Jay Gould and James Fisk. When Grant realized their scheme to corner the market in gold, he authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to sell enough gold to wreck their plans, but the speculation had Replica Rolex Watchesalready wrought havoc with business.

hey mike, u been messing with us fans forever mane ! do u know how much "who is mike jones" changed the genre. Along with thousands of fans, I’ve been patiently waiting on american dreams. (movie & album)Yo ! it turned out there was no movie. and the album was a joke. Why would someone pay $13.95 for a 7 track disc, and at the same time half of the tracks are from the last album. WTF. anyways, forget all that, Ive been waiting on a new album ! U promised voice of the streets to be released in april. now im hearing july ? u did the same thing with american dreamz, it kept getting pushed. Hey im sure its not your fault, but yo, dont make promises and not follow through. because u do have fans as big as me, and i know there r thousand others that have been let down like me. Just keep doing your thing mike. and make it happen. just remember back then hos didnt want me know they all up on me. KEEP IT THAT WAY SON !
