It may have seemed like a lofty goal for an independent rapper to get Lil Scrappy and Iam of Soul Mafia on his first single. Not for Mike Petrone, whose breakthrough record "Crank It" is heating up the streets of his native Atlanta on the strength of spitfire verses and an insanely catchy hook.
The independent release of the epic LP "The Last Hundred Yards" is just the most recent accomplishment from this multifaceted individual who served two tours in Iraq, was wounded twice, and received his Purple Heart, all before the age of 22. The remarkable story of how Petrone received his Purple Heart is detailed in his music video for his song "Baghdad" (http://www.mikepetronemusic.com/) which was filmed overseas during Petrone's second tour in Iraq.
