MIKE w/ Special Guests Sunday, April 21 Doors 7pm / Show 8pm $24 adv / $29 dos All Ages +$3 at door if under 21 MIKE is a quintessential old soul. The 24-year-old artists wisdom is evident in both his calm delivery and measured questioning, even if he doesn't always understand the depth of his words until they're written. All of these random ideas come to my head, but always end up making sense after its done, the NY-based rapper-producer says about his method. Known for introspective, subtly profound rhymes that explore grief, family, and identity, and melt over muffled, soul-seasoned samples, on his expansive new record Burning Desire MIKE reaches new heights far above the sonic foundation he laid with his previous project. As MIKE's career flourishes - already spanning numerous critically celebrated albums and tours with artists like Blood Orange, Earl Sweatshirt, The Alchemist, and Freddie Gibbs - his inner world demands nurturing. In a noisy metropolis, it can be hard to see beyond whats right in front you, to find stillness. So much shit is happening on surface level, its hard to have some idea of external shit outside of that, MIKE says.
