Nah we can keep his shit west coast on this one. Love his work on C-Bo's Enemy Of The State. Really complimented Daz's production well on D&YG. Really wish Daz would get back with him to mix and mastered his albums.

A personal classic..... some real hardcore shit. 

Oh man that album was sick. Probably my favorite C-Bo album. But yeah Mike put his foot in that production on there.

[Rick McCrank]

what a coincidence, all I've been playin recently is Rap-A-Lot stuff

he is definitely one of the sickest from all coasts

when it's him, Scarface and N.O. Joe, it's hard to go against that team

[Muhfukka]

gas chamber is definitely better it doesnt get much more westcoast gangsta shit than that but enemy of the state is good too

i started rappin' at around 9, and when i say started i mean writing and the whole nine.
i was always surrounded by music through out my life,
and at around 13 my step dad Mike Dean started working for rap-a-lot.
i've seen rappers come and go, rise and fall. i myself have had label offers, none good enough to take.
shortly after releasing my first album independently the distrubution company went out of business, and basically left me screwed.
it was at that point i went back to the street with mixtapes featuring me, Tex Mex, and a bunch of the homeboys from the Camp.
years later i still wreck it with Tex, we hooked up with Big Harold Cash and formed the War Camp.
Big Harold just dropped a solo project and Tex and i are workin' on a few things ourselves.

Love his work on C-Bo's Enemy Of The State.

Oh man that album was sick.
Probably my favorite C-Bo album. But yeah Mike put his foot in that production on there.

It's his best! NO competition (in my book.)
Some might say C-Bo Gas Chamber is better.....
But for me Mike's beats was a big step up for C-BO and fit his style perfect.

what a coincidence, all I've been playing recently is Rap-A-Lot stuff

Then you should check out these threads;
It's a shame that when the south made a resurgence Rap-A-Lot records was not at the forefront.
