TWO FIVE

Two Five, born Michael Francis, hails from the dangerous streets of Southside Jamaica Queens. Being born and raised in the same house as superstar cousin, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has been both a gift and a curse for the 22 year old rapper. Two Five credits the inheritance of his talent as a reflection of being the direct protégé of his cousin. Neither had siblings, which led their relationship to be compared to that of brothers more so than cousins. Given his moniker by G-Unit's Tony Yayo, Two Five was able to learn the ins and outs of the music industry which has allowed him to stay one step ahead of the craft that takes most entertainers years to learn.

In early 2004, Two Five and his music were featured by on-air personality Wendy Williams on her #1 rated radio show along with 100,000 downloads of Two Five’s street single “Illest Turned Iller” on HipHopGame.com. Despite being made a lucrative offer by his cousin’s enemy, The Game, and his BWS Imprint, Two Five chose to continue pursuing his own career and spotlight without the help, means or controversy surrounding his cousin. Since that time, Two Five’s name has been on everyone’s lips due to the amount of energy, lyrical prowess, and smooth delivery he brings to the microphone.

Two Five represents the streets of New York with an intensity that has been lacking in New York’s hip hop market for some time. With his current single “What’s Good” as his introduction to the hip hop game burning up the mixtape circuit nationally, Two Five has been coined the Prince of New York who is ready to take his crown, by any means necessary.
