The American Dream is the name of a second album and DVD movie by Mike Jones. It was released through Swishahouse, Asylum Records and Warner Bros. Records 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 originally scheduled for numerous releases between November 2006 and late 2007. His third album is called The Voice.[1]

Producers on the album are said to be 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.
