Mike - Showbiz! (2025)
"Showbiz!" has been lauded for its introspective depth and innovative production. Critics highlight MIKE's stream-of-consciousness lyricism, delivered over self-produced, sample-rich beats that create a hazy, immersive atmosphere. The album's tracks are concise, often under two minutes, yet densely packed with emotional and sonic detail. Themes of personal loss, particularly the passing of MIKE's mother, are poignantly explored, with tracks like "The Weight (2k20)" featuring anxious saxophone loops that underscore the album's contemplative mood. Overall, "Showbiz!" is considered MIKE's most refined and spiritually resonant work to date, solidifying his place as a master craftsman in the rap genre.
