Mic Geronimo (born Michael McDermon on September 14, 1973 in Flushing, Queens) is a rapper of African American and Dominican descent who was acquainted with Irv Gotti of Murder Inc. Irv and his brother discovered Mic Geronimo at a Queens high school talent show, but he disappeared before a deal could be offered. Irv eventually found him working at a Stern's in Long Island, and Mic agreed to record a single ("Shit's Real," which would become a classic underground hit). With Irv's help Mic Geronimo landed a deal with Blunt/TVT Records and debuted with the 1995 LP The Natural.

Geronimo's work with the Cash Money Click led Irv to form a relationship with rapper Ja Rule. The 1999 album Vendetta saw him with a higher profile, working with Ja Rule, DMX Puff Daddy-related acts the LOX and Puffy himself on the single "Nothin' Move but the Money which featured porn star Heather Hunter. The video was supposed to be shot by super director Hype Williams but Hype was filming an Usher video and instead this became the first video directed by future video/film director Chris Robinson. In 2003, he released his album Long Road Back. After releasing three albums to some critical acclaim and moderate commercial sales, Mic began to fade into rap's background. In 2007, he released Alive.[1]
