"Leave
the guns alone!"
A Queens
rapper with a streetwise attitude as well as a few ties
to Puff Daddy's pop-rap empire of the late '90s,
Mic Geronimo grew up listening to LL Cool J and Big
Daddy Kane, plus soul acts like Stevie Wonder and Prince.
Discovered
by producer Irv Gotti (DJ Irv) at a talent show, Mic
Geronimo signed to Blunt/TVT and debuted with the 1995
LP The Natural.
TVT wasn't
exactly the most respected label in hip-hop, and the
album made few waves despite the presence of several
hard-hitting early singles, "Shit's Real"
and "Masta I.C." The 1997 album Vendetta saw
him with a higher profile, working with Puff Daddy-related
acts the LOX and the producer himself on the single
"Nothin' Move but the Money." ~ John Bush,
