Mike & Keys (formerly known as The Futuristiks) are the 5x Grammy-nominated, luxury production group based in Los Angeles, California. With similar beginnings, their musical skills were born in the church but sharpened in the studio. This multidimensional duo consisting of Money Mike (born Michael Ray Cox, Jr.) and J-Keys (born John Groover) have been partnered for over a decade, and possess the ability to unlock new sounds and put a shine on any collaborator.
Their production contributions span from viral sensations to their multi-genre Grammy nominations, confirming that the Mike & Keys’ formula of “focus on sound not song” more than delivers. Mike & Keys have cultivated platinum-selling releases from artists like BJ The Chicago Kid, Guapdad 4000, Jidenna, Jay Rock, Tito Lopez, as well as Eminem and 50 Cent and countless others. Having done the vast majority of the production on Nipsey Hussle’s critically acclaimed “Victory Lap,” along with a catalog spanning before their production on Dom Kennedy’s “Get Home Safely,” the duo has been a major component within the new ear of the West-coast sound.
