About Mike Whitsett

Mike’ Whitsett is a young hip-hop artist from Detroit, MI, who seeks a dream like no other. Surrounding his self with a ton of music such as David Ruffin to Big Daddy Kane and Rakem at a young age, Mike’ has developed his own approach towards this hip-hop game. With support from his family and pilot gang his movement to the majors is just steps away. Mike’ moved to Inkster, MI when he was going to the seventh grade, didn’t like it at all but moving out of Detroit was a must for my family. “I didn’t start creating tracks until I was about 11 years old but stopped and started it again when I was about 16; This was always a dream for me but where I was from, I never thought I could find my self and make something out of me.  I was so different when I was young because I went to the most popular school, and well honestly I was the lame and was the one being picked on all of the time but that all stopped when I hit high school haahaa. But being picked on really helped me become stronger with everything I do in life. So with everything I do it’s all from the heart twenty times your force.” ~P.G.L.L.F.~
