About 1200 Money: 1200 Money was born on November 26, 1988 and raised by his parents in an area saturated with crime and sub-standard living conditions he was met with many street challenges. He embraced hip-hop and started to rap at the impressionable age of fourteen years old and at that time is when he knew the dream he wished to pursue. He began writing rhymes at fifteen years old and simultaneously performing and winning local talent shows at age sixteen. Establishing a diverse fan base in his Tyler House neighborhood Money Mike connected with childhood friends and formed the group "Tyler Fly". From there, he stepped to the forefront with his unique delivery and quickly birthed catchy verses, and a distinguished voice. With lyricism playing a major role in his music, it was now obvious why 1200Money stood out as he as developed a style unlike anyone in the (DMV) D.C, Maryland and Virginia area. He spits with a confidence and bravado that puts all competition on notice. Simply put his style is unmatched. Money Mike was featured on DCTV in April 2008, every Monday for winning a local talent competition in which he gained more recognition and was officially a force to be reckoned with in the D.C. area for 2010. In an effort to build his rap "resume" 1200Money gave the consumers some insight to his ability as a feature on Garvey The Chosen One's album Hard Hat Area Vol.1, which was one of the top selling CD's highlighting any DMV artist at one of DC areas most reputable stores Downtown Locker Room. The CD also featured Memphis superstar Yo Gotti. Now working on his mixtape and a much anticipated debut album, Money Mike is focused, driven and relevant as he continues to perfect his craft.
