To many music fans, Masspike Miles first came on their radar on Rick Ross’s “Get It Together.” Recording the smash with Ross in late 2008, Miles signed with Ross’s Maybach Music label. This connection has lead to videos with Yo Gotti (“Here We Go”), Shawty Lo (“Perfect Women”) and even more collaborations with Ross: “Cigar Music” and “Love Drunk.” He’s also released a new mixtape, The Pursuit of Happiness hosted by Rick Ross & DJ Khaled. Miles Wheeler is the product of Parisian mother and a father from Cape Verde, a collection of Portuguese-speaking islands off Africa’s West Coast. He was born in 1980 in Sacramento, California. As a child, Miles moved to Boston with his family to be closer to the city’s large Cape Verdean community.
