Effective period / Period of releases: 1993

Mike T started his career as a professional DJ in the late 80's working with the underground rapper Quicksand (2). Soon afterwards, Mike T became acquainted with MC Eiht & CMW (Comptons Most Wanted) after Quicksand and CMW both appeared on the The Compton Compilation - The Sound Control Mob "Under Investigation" album. Although Comptons Most Wanted already had a DJ (Ant Capone), he was later fired and Mike T was asked to be the group's replacement. Mike T laid down cuts and scratches over the group's first three albums, the MC Eiht solo releases, and hooked up with various underground west coast hip-hop groups as a DJ. Aside from his turntable trickery, Mike T also programmed and produced many of the classic CMW beats alongside DJ Slip (3). Today Mike is still busy DJing at local venues in Los Angeles.
