The Eleventh Hour could potentially top our favorite mixtape of 2011 list. Mike Jaggerr took on as many roles as he possibly could with this project–producing, writing and, of course, performing while bringing to life the stories that made him the lyricist he is today. He was featured in The Source’s Unsigned Hype in April and has gone on to leave a lasting impression on DJs on both sides of the country, including DJ Skee (West) and Angela Yee (East). Mike Jaggerr is undoubtedly label bound in 2012. With the re-release of his coveted mixtape to precede his next project (aptly titled Midnight), to savor next year, this humble wordsmith will be accompanied by the likes of Big K.R.I.T and STS on his journey to stardom. - Roc4Life.com
On 1/11/11, the 21-year-old product simultaneously released his story and debut mixtape, The Eleventh Hour, which is equal parts aspirational ("Morning, Noon & Night), inspirational ("Rainy Days") and autobiographical ("Away"). - The Source
Often times it is through the story of others that we learn more about ourselves. Regardless of the relevance, there are simply those aspects of struggle and triumph that evoke emotion. When reading Mike Jaggerr’s “story,” I became excited. The kind of excitement that is usually felt when watching a movie, about someone, somewhere in a not so good situation. The underdog, that’s what we call them. Although we have never met them, we root for them. We want them to win because they represent something universal. If they win, we win. - AllHipHop.com
Stylistically, Mike Jaggerr is far from one dimensional, as you’ll see. He’s a hybrid. It’s like Drake, Kanye West, and J.Cole had a baby. - WhoMag.net

Bio
Born in New York (recently relocated back), raised in Delaware, and educated in Florida (Full Sail University), Mike Jaggerr, 22, is a rapper/producer/songwriter with a life story that’s as hard as his rhymes. His self-produced track “Away” is inspired by his late father and is a true story that will make you hit rewind over and over again to pick up every detail of the stirring narrative. The record is the first offering from Mike Jaggerr’s debut mixtape, "The Eleventh Hour," hosted by Shade 45's DJ Wonder and co-sponsored by ALLHIPHOP.COM. Creative Control (Kanye West, Erykah Badu) shot the video for "Away." In April 2011, The Source tapped Mike Jaggerr as the latest "Unsigned Hype" pick.
