Who is this rapper MIKE and why does he sound just like Earl Sweatshirt?

He’s pretty dope tbh far from bad

If New Yorkers still had taste, these guys (along with Navy Blue plus the Upstate FBAs) would be proudly carrying the torch.


Always loved this song

Side note: Edan is one of the most underrated hip-hop artists period

'beauty and the beat ' is a classic album

Earl was around for mad years before MIKE.

MIKE always talked about how he got started and was inspired by Tyler and Earl. By the time he met Earl, Earl was almost 10 years into his career. But he always says that Earl is his favorite rapper and that Earl is his mentor and taught him how to express himself. He's dude's student. They're both dope, but he credits Earl for his style and expression.
Seems like a Kid Cudi and Kanye thing

Earl mentored MKE and increased his reach but he definitely ran with MKE's style. Which is a mystery to me, because more boring and monotone could not a style be.

On paper I was beyond hyped for earl x alchemist


Then it came...and I found it to be rather tedious to listen to. Earl has ran that delivery into the ground imo
