Michael "Laws" Maldonado is a Brazilian-born, Florida raised hip hop artist who signed with the Grammy award winning producer trio J.U.S.T.I.C.E League in 2009.  Laws started rhyming when he was 16 and made his way into the rapping realm by competing in and winning lyrical face-offs.  He eventually elevated from battler to songwriter and crafted music that caught the attention of Rook, a member of  J.U.S.T.I.C.E League's production team.  After conversing via AOL Instant Messenger, the two met up, hit the studio, and produced Laws' first mixtape that earned him comparisons to iconic rapper Eminem.

Today Laws released his third mixtape, Yesterday's Future, hosted by DJs Con Cannon and Mick Boogie.  The project was entirely inspired by the legendary Paul McCartney, in which Laws has taken 13 of McCartney's songs and remixed them with hip hop infused renditions, which have been recreated by J.U.S.T.I.C.E League and Hypertrak. As far as creativity and ambition goes, Laws has certainly raised the bar for today's rappers and music artists in general.  This underground emcee is making serious moves in the hip hop scene and with his innovative knack for blending different genres he continues to excite industry insiders and hardcore hip hop fans alike.  This visionary mixtape speaks for itself and we can only expect even more impressive productions to come.
