MIKE has become my favorite hip hop artist this past year. I was having a hard time finding new hip hop that I really liked every element from production, lyricism, delivery, etc. When first hearing MIKE, instantly that feeling was quelled. His release, Tears of Joy was my introduction and it was on repeat most of last winter. Weight of the World came out at the beginning of the summer and feels a lot heavier to me. Maybe itās just the timing and everything going on, but itās felt much more welcoming recently.

This is my AOTY. MIKE went 24/24.
Each track is unique and equally heartfelt, lyrics are straight poetry, and there's variety but still within a consistent theme.
I've listened to this album front to back at least 50 times since it was released.
Can't wait to hear it live in May.

had a hard time falling asleep last night, so i made some sleepytime tea (with immune-boosting echinacea!) and managed to finally wind down with the help of MIKEās latest solo release. his languid delivery has always been a source of comfort for me, and his ability to pack entire lives of emotion into a handful of bars is paralleled only by frequent collaborator, earl sweatshirt. itās one of his best works, but āsnake charmā is a highlight for me :)

It follows is one of my favorite horror movies and ātis the season. The music and atmosphere of it follows are serious business that suck you into a world with no specific era, spotless vintage cars and old film & television from the 60ās while the set design and clothing feels very 90ās, also Yaraās clam e-reader fascinated me as the teens donāt use cellphones. Lots of homage to John Carpenter in this one (for Halloween and The Thing fans). Itās a nail biter folks, the panic is thick in the air from the start.

Iām recommending the brand I work for, itās most of what I wear and Iām really excited about what we are working on. The crew necks fit cozy like a sweater and look good with a slim fit or baggy pant. The pants come in a linen, corduroy and what I describe as a more comfortable karate pant. The yellow linens are great at home or spring/summer wears, navy cords are lightweight but thick & warm and perfect for the colder months and the black pants are the year-rounder. We are finishing up our board designs for the spring and looking forward to getting those out.

I found this through one of the members other projects, Dead Sullivan, who is definitely worth checking out as well. I love this record, slowcore and indie pop collide super well on this one like as if hovvdy and early tegan & sara were vibing. Madelineās voice feels familiar throughout like youāve heard the songs before while still feeling original. Good autumn record.
