MIKE
MIKE is the quintessential old soul. The 26-year-old's wisdom is evident in both his calm delivery and his measured questions. Known for his introspective and subtly deep rhymes that explore grief, family and identity, set against hushed, soul-seasoned samples, MIKE reaches new heights on his new album 'Burning Desire', far beyond the sonic foundations he laid with his previous project.
MIKE's latest album, Burning Desire, is his biggest yet: both in terms of length, but above all from an artistic point of view. For the first time in his career, MIKE is truly stepping outside his immediate circle of collaborators, calling on everyone from LarryJune and Liv.e to Lila Ramani (of Crumb fame), Earl Sweatshirt and many more. The beloved rapper has come a long way since making waves in underground hip-hop circles with the collective [sLUms] formed in New York in 2015. Since then, he's released numerous critically acclaimed albums, won Pitchfork's Best New Music award twice and toured with the likes of Blood Orange, Earl Sweatshirt, TheAlchemist and Freddie Gibbs. With Burning Desire, MIKE has confidently established himself as the leader of a new movement within hip-hop, breaking through the underground ceiling and introducing the style of rap he originated to a wider audience. If there's one thing that's certain about this new chapter for MIKE, it's that it will unfold on his own terms.
