As the stars align in their cosmic dance, have you ever wondered how music and astrology intertwine to create something truly extraordinary? Well, hold onto your headphones, because MIKE, the underground gem of the 2020s, is at it again! Known for his eclectic samples and stream-of-consciousness bars that seem to tip their hat to the old-school vibe—think MF Doom but with a twist—MIKE proves he can still surprise us. With his latest track “Dolemite,” in collaboration with producer Tony Seltzer, it seems the rapper is exploring new sonic territories. But don’t let the title fool you; this isn’t the retro nod you might expect! Instead, MIKE dives headfirst into a conventional trap instrumental, complete with those snappy hi-hats, shaking up our perceptions and inviting us to reconsider what comes next. So, grab your astrological coffee, settle in, and let’s unpack this unexpected sonic journey that pushes the boundaries of his artistry!
MIKE has become an underground hero in the 2020s. The rapper has really cornered the market when it comes to eclectic samples, stream of consciousness bars, and an aesthetic that just screams old school cool. MIKE is from the MF Doom school, which is what makes the sound of his new song such a surprise. MIKE reteams with producer Tony Seltzer for “Dolemite,” a song who’s title suggests a retro sample and a classic MIKE sound, but actually diverts pretty far from the rapper’s playbook. “Dolemite” is the sound of the rapper getting on a conventional instrumental with trap hi-hats.
To make matters even more surprising, MIKE doesn’t even appear during the first half of the song. Instead, we are treating to a sung verse and hook by the artist Lunchbox. He sounds good over the Seltzer beat. Again, just unexpected. By the time MIKE gets on the song, we are completely thrown. “Dolemite” sounds good in a vacuum, but it’s going to take Pinball fans a little while to get used to it. Seltzer and MIKE are clearly branching out and trying new things musically, which makes the notion of Pinball 2 pretty intriguing. We’ve no clue what it’s going to sound like, but we can’t deny that MIKE is rapping his face off on the track.

Quotable Lyrics:
Yeah, I’m Tekken, bro, on God, it cost an arm and leg
I can’t settle, need it larger, need no partnership
All you got to start is seein’ the star, I gave your heart a skip
I take it far, you play your card and I make comma quick
