Michael Marshall (born October 6, 1965), also known and credited as Mike Marshall and Mike Meezy,[1] is the former lead singer of American R&B group Timex Social Club. In 1986, he had taken an offer to join Run DMC's Raising Hell Tour, before leaving the group. In the 1990s, Marshall worked with the group called Mo'fessionals. In 1995, he did a feature for rap group Luniz and sang the chorus on their hit "I Got 5 On It", which samples Club Nouveau's "Why You Treat Me So Bad" from 1987. Marshall is the only currently active member of the Timex Social Club. He completed the album K.I.M. with rapper Equipto in 2004. He also had an international top 10 dance hit, "Your Body", with DJ Tom Novy in 2005.[2] He released a solo album, Love, Lies & Life [3] with the hit song "So Young" featuring San Quinn in 2006. In 2008, Psychopathic Records sub-label Hatchet House released the Tunnel Runners compilation featuring Marshall alongside Bay Area horrorcore rap artist Mars on the song "They Watchin Me". The compilation entered the Top 25 rap albums on Billboard in its first week. Michael Marshall still tours and has completed his second solo R&B album,[4] Right Where I'm 'posed 2 Be.[5]
