Well look what I was able to get my hands on.

Last night I was chatting with Mikk about his days on Cash Money Records, and we laughing about some of their old music videos and then we moved along to the Pen & Pixel album covers that were utilized by No Limit and Cash Money heavily in the late 90's and early 00's.  Mikk then informed me that he had his own Pen & Pixel cover for his indefinitely shelved Cash Money debut, Tears & Pain.  This was something I just had to see, but unfortunately, Mikk didn't have a copy of them anymore.  Well sure enough, I hit up Shawn who used to run Pen & Pixel (and now runs Smartface Media) to see if he had this mysterious cover in his stash, and sure enough, a few hours later I had both of them.

The original cover for Tears & Pain is above and was not approved by Mikkey, so they went back to the drawing board and reshot a second cover.   Now I just gotta get my hands on the album.  Ha!

LOL at the doo-rag!

The Mikk approved cover

Yep, he was in that. Mikkey was featured on a bunch of Cash Money albums actually, but his album unfortunately never came out. To me Mikkey is one of the best rappers alive and that's not a bold statement.

That www.fakeshoredrive.com website actually does a lot of updates on Mikkey, so search for his name and grab some of his music. It will not disappoint. I promise.

Mikkey and Gillie gave Lil Wayne lessons in rap and they ghost wrote a whole bunch of shit for Lil Wayne in the time they were on Cash Money.
