WHO MIKE JONES?

Mike Jones is a new fresh rapper with a great marketing plan: Ill do it myself. By forcing the impossible to avoid catchphrase "Who Is Mike Jones?" and his phone number in his albums he is proving with initiative and talent that he can to make it himfelf. By the time Kelefa Sanneh printed Mike Jones' phone number (281-330-8004) in The New York Times, the cut throat hard times of trying to make it by himself had paid off, he already sold mass amounts of records. And because Mike Jones released his major-label debut before any of his cohorts (Slim Thug, Chamillionaire, Paul Wall), he gets to be starting line-up for takeover.
