There is no gang violence in Mike Mess' world. No shooting or flashly jewels. That's not what his life is about, and that's not waht his hip hop is about. He rhymes about experiences, thoughts, and dreams.
"That's what makes it unique, is you see the passion come through the music." Mess Said.
Mess debuted his music at SoundClick.com, a warehouse ofr musicians with and without recording contracts. In the first month Mess' homepage had 15,000 hits, and his song "Get It Right" made the sites Top 5 list. - Potomac News

Rarely does hip-hop music headline at the heavy-metal rock venue Jaxx Concert Hall and Nightclub in Springfield. This Memorial Day weekend, however, marks one of the few exceptions.
Local artists Mike Mess (Woodbridge) and Southpaw (Dale City) as well as Virginia-based rappers Prime Minis, Yoni, and Grade A Material round out the roster of unsigned, up-and-coming rappers performing May 27 at Jaxx.
Mess, who coordinated and organized the acts for the event, said he even convinced Jaxx owner Jay Nedry to host the show.
"My goal right now is to develop the scene in this area," Mess said. "Each act should be 20 to 30 minutes," he said. "We have a DJ opening from 8 to 10 p.m., and then from 10 on, is the show."
Unlike some perceptions of rappers based on the exploitation of certain images in mainstream media, plenty of unsigned artists work regular nine-to-five jobs.
Mess is no exception and credits his current job for helping his music career.
"I work at Apple right now as a headhunter," Mess said. "It's giving me a lot of training. The key thing I've learned is networking. You have to have a group that believes in the product and will not accept no for an answer." That kind of thinking enabled Mess to get Ecko clothing in Potomac Mills Mall to sponsor the event.
Mess said each artist has their own style, which adds diversity to the show. He listed rap superstars Jay-Z and Eminem as influences.
If all continues to go well, Mess said he wants to start a tour of smaller venues in Washington, D.C., North Carolina and Georgia.
For now, hip-hop fans can support the local scene by checking out the performances this weekend at Jaxx.
