Hailing from the notorious “Wild 100″ section of Chicago’s Southside, Mikkey Halsted AKA “Money Making Mikk” is finally poised to make his mark and carve out his place amongst Hip-Hop’s elite. Discovered by Kanye West, Mikkey has worked closely with Lil’ Wayne & Cash Money Records and also had brief stint with [now defunct] Virgin Records through music mogul Jermaine Dupri. Through it all, Mikkey‘s talent has never been up for debate. He has recently been tapped by ground-breaking Chicago producers No ID and The Legendary Traxster who have already begun giving Mikkey the proper backdrop to bring his noteworthy talent to the surface and help make him a serious contender in Hip-Hop’s current landscape. No ID has garnered multi-platinum, Grammy award-winning success and has helped steer the careers of superstars Kanye West and Common. No ID is currently serving as the Senior Executive Vice-President of A&R at Def Jam Records and is one of the hottest young executives in the music industry. The Legendary Traxster is a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer who has crafted hits for the likes of Twista, Mariah Carey, Ludacris, Big Sean and others. With this kind of firepower backing such a talented emcee, one can understand why Halsted is one of the most anticipated artists in recent memory |
