Mic Geronimo (born Michael McDermon on September 14, 1973 in [placedformed]Flushing, Queens ) is a rapper of African american descent who was acquainted with Irv Gotti of Murder Inc. Irv and his brother discovered Mic Geronimo at a Queens high school talent show, but he disappeared before a deal could be offered. Irv eventually found him working at a Stern's in Long Island, and Mic agreed to record a single ("Shit's Real," which would become a moderate hit).
