In 1995, Mike did a feature for a rap-group Luniz and sang the chorus on their hit "I Got 5 On It." Mike is the only currently active member of the Timex Social Club.

The compilation went on to hit the Top 25 rap albums on Billboard its first week. Mike lives now in Northern California and has completed his second solo R&B album, Soul Of The Bay.
