Biography
Biography
His song "Wherever You Are" was sampled by Moby for the track "Jam for the Ladies" in 2002. The 1997 album Vendetta saw him with a higher profile, working with Jay-Z, Ja Rule, DMX, the LOX and Puff Daddy on the single "Nothin' Move but the Money", the video for which featured porn star Heather Hunter. The video was supposed to be shot by director Hype Williams, but Hype was filming an Usher video, so instead this became the first video directed by Christopher Erskin, who later directed the 2004 film Johnson Family Vacation. In 2003, Mic Geronimo released Long Road Back, followed by Alive 9/14/73 in 2007.
