Recently Gulf coast rapper MGM MIKE MIKE dropped his project, Stupid Genius.
Emerging from a wide open Hip-Hop scene rapper, MGM MIKE MIKE has broken through with a new take on what's going on in the world today .
Having made appearances on Shade45 via Kay-Slay and the Mississippi Gulf Coast Radio - 94.5, MGM MIKE MIKE is prepping for interviews to take things to the next level.
With his family being from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and the Mississippi area, MGM MIKE MIKE has roots in the South that run as deep as his music.
"I spent the majority of my life in Mississippi which is different because of racism and just being at the bottom of nearly every statistical category such as education, obesity, teenage pregnancy, wages, etc. So anyone who makes it out, I feel like owes back to tell their story to help the up and coming youngsters make it out," MGM MIKE MIKE said. "My brother set me up with a producer named Heartbeatz, out of Hattiesburg during a time that I was put in the middle of some BS. And I made my first song called Takeover, I created No Sleep Gang (NSG) And the rest is history!"
Inspired by the late Nipsey Hussle, MGM MIKE MIKE maintains a constant connection to the streets.
"I used the oxymoron just, based on who I am, for example, Malcom X is a stupid genius. Genius in so many ways. Speaking. Leading. Inspiring. But then the same person still put himself in a situation that allowed people to kill him. Nipsey Hussle is another example," he said. "NinoBrown305 gives his reality of the streets on two different songs on the project.
Combining the efforts of different producers like Heartbeatz, First Class Rossy, C-Sick, Richie Hardo, NFL Bigg Boy, Burns Beats and more, MGM MIKE MIKE says this is, "timeless music." Combined with the efforts and work of well known manager and music businessman Smit BDM CEO, MGM MIK MIKE is creating timeless music that will reach the masses.
Overview
Run the Jewels is a rap duo that consists of the rapper-producer El-P and rapper Killer Mike. Their music is up-beat, politically charged, conscious rap. Both rappers are consistent, but the interesting thing is they are extremely well-matched skill wise. They never show each other up on any song. They have an old-school sound with new age production. Run The Jewels 4 is extremely polished and well put-together. Their friendship has grown in good vibes and significance in this moment in history.
Defining Track
"Ooh La La" has a drum loop nearly identical to Earl Sweatshirt's Chum song. However, I feel silly pointing that out. This is a good song. It's well executed and it has their patented style all over it.
Final Thoughts
Run the Jewels is refreshing. They are sending the message that everyone should be but circumstantially can not. This album perfects their presentation while not introducing anything new. It's a bit to safe, but it's worth a listen.
