MIKE

MIKE is a quintessential old soul. His wisdom shines through in both his calm delivery and thoughtful questioning. Known for his introspective and subtly profound rhymes, he often explores themes of grief, family, and identity, laid over muffled, soul-infused samples. The beloved rapper has come a long way since making waves in underground hip-hop with the [sLUms] collective, which formed in New York in 2015. Since then, he’s released numerous critically acclaimed albums, earned Pitchfork’s Best New Music accolade twice, and toured with artists like Blood Orange, Earl Sweatshirt, The Alchemist, and Freddie Gibbs. One thing is certain about this next chapter for MIKE: it will unfold on his own terms.
