MIKE

With a floating, woozy baritone flow and dreamlike self-produced beats, rapper MIKE continues pushing rap in more experimental directions. He began reaching more listeners near the end of the 2010s, frequently releasing mixtapes, collaborating with Earl Sweatshirt, and finding critical acclaim with his heavy, grieving 2019 album Tears of Joy, its 2020 follow-up Weight of the World, 2021's Disco!, and more.
