Be sure to check out Love, Lies, and Life, Mike Marshall’s first solo CD in 20 years. I can’t lie, I’m a fan, but you have to understand, I’m from the oldschool and I’m from the Bay Area. Mike Marshall aka Mike Meezy from Berkeley High scored big with the Timex Social Club smash “Rumors” in 1986, part of the classic music era for any oldschool hip hopper.
Unfortunately, due to politics and the issues that artists faced, Mike was forced out as his producers formed Club Nouveau. Mike resurfaced about 10 years later singing the famous hook with the Luniz on the Bay anthem, “I Got 5 On It.” He’s kept busy and has now dropped his latest CD.
Mike gives us the wise tales of a sage veteran in the game. He puts the soul back in the game. His songs deal with various issues such as love, life, and his personal experiences from a grown man’s perspective. There are many standouts on this album and I highly recommend it.
