The much anticipated 11th annual BET Awards aired at 8:00 p.m. (EST) on Sunday, June 26, 2011 and was hosted by the hysterical and crazy comedian, Kevin Hart.  This year’s awards show was centered around who would Rock The Mic.  Everyone’s pre-show vote was Chris Brown and as expected, he did rock the mic with a killer performance.  However, viewers were not quite ready for what was yet to hit the stage.

Bringing More Recognition to Mississippi, It’s Michael Robinson

Back Story
Michael Robinson, affectionately referred to as Mike Rob is a native of Jackson, MS.  He is also the 10-year manager of Jackson’s very own recording group, Compozitionz.  Mike Rob became affiliated with the entertainment industry in 1989 when Derrick Martin (D’Mar) welcomed him into the band Full Circle, later renamed Infiniti.  Infiniti had the opportunity to record a demo and tour for six weeks with Jackson’s very own Dorothy Moore.  Determined to gain exposure, Infiniti traveled on this tour with absolutely no air conditioning.  However, this did not deter the group from this great experience.  Mike stated that although they returned home from the tour with less money than they left with, the exposure was priceless.  The group continued to perform at all types of local events for a while, but after not having much luck with being signed to a record label, the group eventually went their separate ways.  Not fully believing his own talents, Mike took a hiatus for a while.  However, in 2000 opportunity came knocking at his door.
