Prior to gaining mainstream exposure during late 2004 and early 2005 with his single "Still Tippin'," Houston-based MC and self-promoter extraordinaire Mike Jones had long been a stalwart of the Swishahouse label, with a handful of releases under his belt. His breakout album, Who Is Mike Jones?, was released in April of 2005, distributed via Warner Brothers. It topped out at number three on the Billboard 200 chart. His second full-length on a major label, The American Dream, followed in July 2007, but not before another series of mixtape releases. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Michael Andrew Jones, better known by his stage name Mike Jones is an American southern rap artist and actor, who initially was affiliated with the record label Swishahouse, then left to be the owner of Ice Age Entertainment. Mike Jones has a little brother who is an artist and part of Ice Age who goes by "Lil Soulja". Recently, Jones announced his return to Swishahouse to distribute Ice Age. Mike Jones owns a nightclub which is managed by "Celebrity Sundays" in which a well-known celebrity will make an appearance.

His major promotional gimmick is to sell and hand out shirts reading "Property of Mike Jones" on the front and his cell phone number on the back, as well as shouting out his name and cell phone number throughout his mixtapes and albums, encouraging fans to call him on his mobile phone. Although most people get a "this number has been changed, disconnected, or is no longer in service" message more recently, Jones says (when asked in several interviews) the number "still works, it is just extremely busy". Jones's AOL screen name is also noted on his official website. On August 23, 2008 on his official myspace page, he tells everyone that he has a new number.

His song "Houston Dynamo (Don't Play)." is the official team anthem of the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer. Produced by Mannie Fresh, the song is a version of Jones' song "Don't Play Around," which was originally set to be on his CD The American Dream before it was changed from an LP to an EP.

Before he was on Swishahouse he was in a group called Souf Folk and his alias was "Sache". He has released one album with Souf Folk called Country Thuggin. He is also coming out with a new album voice of the streets sometime early next year.

He is the cousin of Howard Jones, the frontman and lead vocalist of Killswitch Engage.
