MIKE drops a new music video for the album’s title track, directed by Xin Wang.
Fresh from his tour alongside Earl Sweatshirt and The Alchemist, MIKE has also announced the release of vinyl editions of his ninth studio album, Burning Desire. The vinyl will be available in several editions, including the standard black, which will be available everywhere.
Burning Desire finds MIKE, né Michael Bonema, planting his flag as the benevolent leader of a vein of hip-hop he helped pioneer. Since first emerging on the scene in underground hip-hop circles with the [sLUms] collective in 2015, he’s never strayed from his distinct brand of introspective, subtly profound rhymes that explore grief, family, and identity and melt over muffled, soul-seasoned samples. Despite being just 25, MIKE has released numerous critically acclaimed albums, including Burning Desire.
This fall, the prolific artist released Faith Is A Rock, his collaborative album with The Alchemist and Wiki. MIKE was also recently featured on two of the most celebrated hip-hop albums of the year with verses on Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist’s VOIR DIRE and Danny Brown’s Quaranta.
