Mike also performed, February 8, 2011, at New York’s Art Center during the Faces in the Crowd showcase.
Its lead single is "Away", which is an opening and introductory song about his family and troubled childhood. Mike raps, "Promised my Pop I wouldn’t cry a tear / but sometimes I get so tired, Goodyear / name the last time I had a good year with no dysfunction / guess it’s my curse conjunction / to stay in this pain of world I know / got so much pain I got to let it show/but I can’t live like this I got to let it go".
A video has been shot by the productive team Creative Control for "Away", who have also produced for Kanye West, Erykah Badu, and Curren$y. A fellow buzz track has been Mike’s collaboration with Def Jam’s Big K.R.I.T. for "Cruise Control".

The mixtape The Eleventh Hour has received Internet recognition and sponsorship from influential blogs and websites such as AllHipHop where they stated in reference to his story; "Often times it is through the story of others that we learn more about ourselves. Regardless of the relevance, there are simply those aspects of struggle and triumph that evoke emotion. When reading Mike Jaggerr’s 'story,' I became excited."
