{"product_id":"878390004188","title":"Mike – Black Soap - New Vinyl EP 2018 Lex Records Pressing - NYC Rap \/ Hip Hop","description":"\u003ch2\u003eStreet Date: 8\/10\/18\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMIKE’s music carries age beyond his years. Born in New Jersey, MIKE moved to London with his mother before settling in The Bronx for the remainder of his teenage years. Both regions have had an audible influence on the young rapper’s music – in London he was immersed in grime and the music of King Krule, and in the Bronx he was turned on to Earl Sweatshirt and MF Doom. Through his mixtapes Winter New York, Longest Day, Shortest Night, May God Bless Your Hustle and his EP By The Water, he has made a definitive statement on the current state of youth in New York. The releases turned heads outside of MIKE’s immediate community in the city, earning praise from The Fader, the New Yorker, and being selected as Bets New Music by Pitchfork. MIKE raps over characteristically lo-fi, and soulfully hazy, self produced beats. Themes about the depression and anxiety that accompany being young and African American abound throughout his music, but a muted sense of hopefulness and certainty that he is moving towards ultimate triumph is the motor quietly propelling things forward. In New York, he discovered several artists with a similar ear and style, and formed his collective [sLUms]. Consisting of sixpress, dj ???, King Carter, Jazz Jodi, and DJ Mason, the group is a diverse range of producers and rappers who each make music about the tribulations of coming of age and being black in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tracklist\" class=\"section tracklist\" data-toggle=\"tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"group\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section_content\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"playlist\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicGroup\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"A1\" itemprop=\"track\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicRecording\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_pos\"\u003eA1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title \"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eIpari\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" width=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\" tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"A2\" itemprop=\"track\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicRecording\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_pos\"\u003eA2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title \"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eLike Mask\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" width=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\" tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"A3\" itemprop=\"track\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicRecording\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_pos\"\u003eA3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title \"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eMinistry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" width=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\" tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"B1\" itemprop=\"track\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicRecording\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_pos\"\u003eB1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title \"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eOf Home\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" width=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\" tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"B2\" itemprop=\"track\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicRecording\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_pos\"\u003eB2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title \"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eTime Ain´t Enough\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" width=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\" tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"B3\" itemprop=\"track\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicRecording\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_pos\"\u003eB3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title \"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eGod Save The Queen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" width=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\" tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"B4\" itemprop=\"track\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicRecording\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_pos\"\u003eB4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title \"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eComfort Ajoke\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" width=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"toggle_section_control float_fix\" data-for=\".notes\"\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in Tottenham, UK \u0026amp; Marcus Garvey Blvd, NY\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WEA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12397500465269,"sku":"878390004188","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1377\/6983\/products\/36a27b81989ba27e59c54b297d54871a71bad187.jpg?v=1533751495","url":"https:\/\/www.shugarecords.com\/products\/878390004188","provider":"Shuga Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
