The American Dream is the name of the planned second studio album, debut EP and first DVD movie by Mike Jones. It was released through Swishahouse, Asylum Records, Warner Bros. Records and his own label Ice Age Entertainment on November 20, 2007. It was originally supposed to be released as an album but was down graded to an EP due to low confidence from the label. The EP includes two songs, "Still Tippin'" and "Back Then", from Mike Jones' last album Who Is Mike Jones?.
The release date of the album was moved between numerous points from November 2006 and late 2007. His third album is called The Voice.[3]
The album was produced by Salih Williams of Carnival Beats and Myke Diesel.
The album successfully charted on multiple Billboard music charts, having been featured on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 183. It performed considerably better on the Top Rap Albums chart, peaking at number 10, and number 28 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
