If you look up the expression ‘Live fast, die young and leave a good looking corpse’, there is surely to be a picture of Hollywood based rapper Mickey Avalon right next to it. Avalon’s life story plays out like an episode of VH1’s ‘Behind The Music’, marred by personal tragedy, triumphs and intense pain. Using his life experiences as fuel for his intense rhymes, Mickey Avalon is now inviting listeners to step into his world with the release of his new studio album Loaded.
Avalon sprung to prominence with his debut self-titled album released through Interscope in 2007, featuring the hit single ’Jane Fonda’. He has had tracks appear in ’Harold & Kumar Go To Guantanamo Bay’, the TV series ’Entourage’ and ’American Dad’, and his track ’Stroke Me’ was used in the trailers for the Cameron Diaz movie ’Bad Teacher’ and the ads for the video game ’Duke Nukem Forever’. He also co-wrote the Unwritten Law hit ’Shoulda Known Better’.
