DJ Mike T (born Michael Bryant) started his career as a professional DJ in the late 80's working with the underground rap group Quicksand. Soon afterwards, Mike T became acquainted with MC Eiht & Compton's Most Wanted as Quicksand and C.M.W. both appeared on the compilation album. Although Compton's Most Wanted already had a DJ (Ant Capone), he was later fired and Mike T was asked to be the group's replacement. Mike T laid down cuts and scratches over the group's first three albums, the MC Eiht solo releases, and hooked up with various underground West Coast hip-hop groups as a DJ. In 1993 Mike T and Inglewood-based rapper Loon-E-Toon co-released a full-lengthened album. Aside from his turntable trickery, Mike T also programmed and produced many of the classic CMW beats alongside DJ Slip.
