About Me:
These days it's hard out here for a rapper. Being lyrical is not enough. You have to make up the complete package. You have to look the part, act the part, and be the part. The girls have to love you and the guys have to want to be you. You have to have that swagger, energy, attitude and talent all combined into the perfect package to make today's rap star. And that's exactly what RED SQUAD GENERAL MIKE DUBS brings to the hip-hop world.

Mike Dubs was born Malcolm Makoni 20 years ago in Zimbabwe, AFR. He grew up hard, living with his single mother, sisters and brother in Zimbabwe. At the same time he began a new hobby: rapping, which soon became a major focus in the young hustler's life. The hip-hop scene was just beginning to bubble in Manchester and Dubs wanted to be a part of it.

LISTENING TO RAP/HIP HOP MUSIC WAS ALL AROUND HIM CONSTANTLY, FROM HIS BROTHER, TO COUSINS AND FRIENDS. YET IT WASN’T UNTIL 2007-2009 HE LEAPED INTO WHAT WOULD BECOME THE BEGINNING OF HIS MUSICAL CAREER. AFTER WRITING LITTLE RAPS OF HIS OWN DURING SCHOOL TO COMMERCIAL ARTIST BEATS, AS WELL AS POEMS OCCASIONALLY, MIKE DUBS FOUND HIS LOVE FOR MUSIC. GRADUALLY INCLINING FROM WRITTEN TEXT TO VOCAL EXPRESSION. MIKE DUBS BECAME MORE AND MORE AWARE OF THE HIP-HOP CULTURE AS WELL AS THE LYRICS AS HE WAS WRITING AND LISTENING TO THE WORDS OF OTHERS SPEAKING ABOUT WHAT HE WAS SEEING. AS ¬MIKE DUBS (MALCOLM) WAS LIVING IN BAD NEIGHBORHOODS FOR THE MAJORITY OF HIS LIFE MIKE DUBS HAD THE CHANCE FIRST HAND TO SEE THE THINGS THAT ARE NOW FOUND IN HIS MUSIC. NOW 2YEARS LATER MIKE DUBS IS STILL DOING HIS MUSIC, MOVING FROM A STREET FREE STYLING , TO HOME MADE STUDIO'S, ALL THE WAY TO THE LATEST COMPUTER SOFTWARE FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL HOME STUDIO IN 2005, WHICH WAS A LONG TRANSITION THAT TOOK PLACE OVER YEARS AND IS CURRENTLY STILL A UNDERGOING DEVELOPMENT. TRIALS AND TRIBULATION MAKES YOU STRONGER, LIKOMA ISLAND SHOUT TO THEM BUT THE TIME I LINKED UP WITH THIS CLICK THINGS DID NOT GO DOWN SO WELL. MIKE DUBS MOVED ON AND LEARNT FROM IT. I'M PURSUING INTO LEGENDARY STATUS, WITH RED SQUAD ENT MOVEMENT WE CAN DO IT. PACO AND MYSELF ARE HOLDING IT DOWN. SHOUT OUT REPROHEADZ, DON RECORDS AND A FEW THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE. AFTER A LONG TRANSITION OF TRIALS AND FAILURE MIKE DUBS DECIDED TO START HIS OWN TEAM WHICH CONSISTED OF ME MIKE AND ABRAM KOROMA BORN THE 28 MAY OF 1991, IN GALLARATE (ITALY) THE PLACE WHERE HE GREW UP. HE GOT INTO HIP-HOP WHEN HE MOVED TO CASSANO MAGNAGO A CITY NEAR MILAN WHERE HE STARTED TO GET INFLUENCED BY LISTENING TO FAMOUS OLD-SCHOOL RAP ARTIST LIKE RUN-DMC, ICE CUBE, SNOOP DOGG, AND MORE VARIOUS ARTISTS. HE THEN MOVED TO START WRITING HIS OWN RHYMES, AND UNTIL HE MOVED TO MANCHESTER IN THE U.K BECAUSE OF EDUCATION, SO HE STARTED TO RAP IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH HIS FRIENDS BUT HE NEVER TOOK RAPPING SERIOUS UNTIL, MIKE DUBS SCOUTED HIM AND GAVE HIM A CHANCE TO SHOW HIS SKILL IN THEIR FIRST TRACK ENTITLED “MONEY CHASERS”. HIS NICKNAME IN THAT TRACK WAS AK 47 BECAUSE OF HIS STRONG GANGSTER FLOW, HOWEVER HE THEN DECIDED TO CHANGE HIS ARTIST NAME AS P.A.C.O DUE TO HIS ITALIAN ORIGINS, AND BECAUSE HE THEN STARTED TO GO MORE DEEP ON HIP-HOP, LEARN TECHNIQUES AND APPLY THEM ON TRACKS OR FREESTYLES.
