Mike Jones (born January 6, 1981[citation needed] in Aldine, Texas, U.S.) 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, 281-330-8004, 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.
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. [1]
