Records and Mike's label Machine Shop Recordings.

Composition
Mike produced the album himself but asked Jay-Z, who collaborated with Linkin Park on 2004’s Collision Course EP, to serve as the executive producer for the album. Mike also had Linkin Park’s guitarist Brad Delson, who gave Mike his old nickname “The Glue”, help with the project as the album’s A&R.
On The Rising Tied, Mike asked some of his longtime friends to join him in the recording process. Local LA rap group Styles Of Beyond, who Mike knew for over six years, ended up being featured on six songs. Other guests included Jonah Matranga, Holly Brook, Linkin Park’s own Joe Hahn, and hip hop artists Common, John Legend, Black Thought, Lupe Fiasco, Kenna, Eric Bobo from Cypress Hill, Sixx John, and Celph Titled.
