Band Website: myspace.com/mikereal
Signed in 2007 with independant production team/label Wide Range Music, LLC. MikeREAL birthed as Michael Hollis has heeded the compelling of the Lords love since 2001. With that love came the fellowship of other youths in the "FAITH."
MikeREAL encountered the typical self evaluation of his walk as a young believer in Christ. He definitely felt he found compromising acts and areas of growth in his character.
MikeREAL was were many young believers have found themselves. He had a gift; he had a healthy upbringing, yet still found himself uncommitted to the biblical teachings that came his way.
After Graduating high school Mike was faced with looking at his life. He heeded the tug of the Lord's Love and sacrifice compelling him to get his heavenly inheritance...NOW!
Mike loved rapping. He started in his freshman year of high school. He came across fellow St. Louisans and peers (now Crossmovement Recording Artists) FLAME and J.R. and was encouraged that rap had a place among the body of Christ. Mike was greatly inspired to lay his gift of Rapping before the Almighty Son of GOD, Christ Jesus.
Now...with years of obedience and submission under his belt and still going, MikeREAL has been granted the honor of sharing his gift, life, and faith with the near and the far. His signing with Wide Range Music has him ready to present his Debut album entitled "The Solid Foundation LP."
"The Solid Foundation LP" with release in March, featuring production by Wide Range Music, Brotha John, Rio, DJ WanablesU, and b.u.M.M.
"The Solid Foundation LP" will also feature blazing artist appearances by Rio, Antha "REdNOTE" Rodgers, Johnathan "fish.AMEN" Smith, and LeBeau.
It has been a highly anticipated time of release for MikeREAL's Debut album. MikeREAL has performed way before even dropping an EP. He has been an highlight on Jeremiah "KRy" Jackson's "My HOPE! Tour." He has also been the traveling host and MC on Antha "REdNOTE" Rodgers "SCOUT LAW" Tour. He has graced the stage with some of the most talented and faithful up coming Christian Artist such as Lea, Rio, REdNOTE, KRy, and he most recently performed as the opening act for up and comers "Heaven Sent Souljaz."
