Yep — the Treated Crown Wearers have linked with Mr. Halsted, and turn Eric B and Ra’s “Paid In Full” into a certified club banger. Didn’t see that coming did you? Looking forward to getting all of these together as one project.

Money Making Mikkey’s MMM Season Coming In May
You may know him as Mikkey Halsted, but as of May, you’ll be calling him Money Making Mikkey. MMM’s project, MMM Season, is being helmed by The Legendary Traxster and No I.D., and is going to be a free mixtape, likely available in May. The project is also rumored to be hosted by Don Cannon.
Mikk’s recently been in the studio with everyone from Young Chop to Yung Berg to Twista, so expect big things from these sessions. Above we have a sneak peak of the tracklist, including one of the most anticipated tracks, “Chopper Music,” featuring Lil Durk and King Louie. Stay tuned for more details.

Recently, Chicago’s own Mikkey Halsted and Young Chop hit the studio with Don Cannon to work on an unknown track. I don’t know about you, but any track that’s produced by Chop and Don Cannon has my attention. Hopefully, we’ll hear this one soon.
Psalm One x Mikkey Halsted – Kids Right Now
Psalm and Halsted go tit for tat about kids these days. Not the group, though. Both Mikkey and Pslam cook up a blessing for the youth on this one. Short, sweet and to the point.

Mikkey Halsted x Lupe Fiasco – Gone
Produced by David D.A. Doman. Jim Lavigne on the hook.
In light of all the recent violence in Chicago, Mikkey Halsted has decided to release his heartfelt collaboration with Lupe Fiasco, the eye-opening “Gone.” It’s a poignant reminder of what’s happening in the streets, and further explores the grim outlook a lot of children in Chicago (and across the US) have. A big salute to both emcees for putting this together.
Mikkey also wrote something to further expound on the subject matter:
In light of “37 SHOOTINGS, 46 VICTIMS & 9 MURDERS” during Chicago’s first ‘warm’ weekend, the Trayvon travesty, 6-year old Aliyah Shell, and in honor of my cousins Ismail & Malik that were gunned down last summer…I felt as though this was the time to drop this song. Shouts to Lupe for helping me paint a vivid picture of what goes on everyday in Chicago and every other ghetto in America. Also, shouts to David ‘D.A.’ Doman & Jim LaVigne for providing us the perfect canvas to paint upon.
Special Dedication to Blair Holt and the hundreds of CPS students lost to senseless violence.
WE CAN NO LONGER WAIT FOR OTHERS, SEEMINGLY UNAFFECTED BY OUR ISSUES, TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS FOR US. SPEAK OUT AND SAY SOMETHING, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO SOMETHING.

New Mikk is always welcome and that’s just what we have in the form of this joint featuring windy city songstress Tia London. Consider this track the second official offering from Mikkey’s No I.D. and Traxster-helmed album, The Force. This one goes.

Mikkey Halsted – Money Making Mikkey
Oh this is ridiculous.
The first leak from Mikk’s Legendary Traxster & No I.D. helmed album, The Force. This first leak was produced by Traxster.
Video: No I.D. & The Legendary Traxster To Produce Entire Mikkey Halsted Album
Well, it looks like the cat is out of the bag. Mikkey Halsted has uprooted and moved out to LA to finish his upcoming album, The Force, which is entirely produced by No I.D. and The Legendary Traxster. Monumental to say the least.
If you know No I.D. and Traxster’s history, then you know these two are highly regarded as the Godfather’s of Chicago hip-hop. No I.D. repping the Southside, with Trax crafting the sound of the Westside. Over the past few years, the production duo has come together to craft smashes for Big Sean and Twista; and now it’s time join forces to produce for one artist–and luckily that artist is Chicago’s own Mikkey Halsted.
Here, No I.D., Traxster and Mikkey discuss the project, and give us some insight as to how it all came together. No word on what label this project will be released on, but best believe there will be a big announcement soon.
The stuff you hear playing in the background? Forget about it. Serious. Most anticipated album of 2012?
