M.I. or as he is also known - 'Mr. Impossible' is one half of the legendary duo Constant Deviants. Alongside DJ Cutt the group released four well received albums that contained several underground hits. Although they have had little to no mainstream success in the U.S, with the exception of the song "Competition Catch Speed Knots", a 1996 Vestry Records  release. They reached the Top 40 of the CMJ and Billboard Charts with two singles, "Can't Stop" and "8th Wonder." in 1999 and 2000 on Brooklyn Pipeline Records. Their music reached the ears of famed manager Mark Pitts. By 2000, M.I. signed a deal with Arista Records, with Cutt aiding in production while solidifying his career as a DJ and engineer. The next few years showed M.I. as an emcee on the rise, Cutt working heavily with rap heavyweight N.O.R.E. as his engineer and touring DJ, plus working with Jay-Z’s famed Roc-A-Fella Records. By 2006, their worlds came together, again, as M.I. featured N.O.R.E. on the remix to the track “Yup” alongside Rick Ross, co-produced by Cutt.
