1. MIKE (born Michael Jordan Bonema on October 13th, 1998) is a rapper originally from New Jersey but currently based out of New York City. He usually drops his projects on either of the solstices (June 21st or December 21st) each year.
2. MIKE is a punk rock band from Stockholm, Sweden.
MIKE started in January 2006 by Joel, Fredrik, Viktor and Jesper. The four guys from the southern part of Stockholm/Sweden had all played in different bands for years. Back in 1996 Viktor started a band called No Division with a friend. Jesper joined the band in 2000 (then called Pronoid), where they both played for five years. Joel played in the band Dechas, who released an EP on DayGlo Records in 2000 and an album on Shutdown Records in Australia in 2002. Fredrik had been playing in the band In Memory Of Me and in different bands before that. Jesper and Joel played together from time to time for a while and they both love punk rock, and when Jesper quit Pronoid they started talking about playing punk together. They talked to their old friends Viktor and Fredrik and started jamming some of Jespers songs and the result is what today is known as the band MIKE. After about a year our good friend Fredrik decided to quit the band to play with a reggae band from Uppsala. We then tried out two drummers but decided to pick one of Joel's old friends, Totte. He'd earlier been the drummer in bands like Milk bar, Devoured, Songea and Simpleton. Experience and routine was a fact. He'd actually only been in the band for about a week when he performed his first show with MIKE, and a week after that we went into the studio to record a couple of songs.

This my only chance left
To prove to y'all
I'm the best rapper in the fuckin' world, ayy, ayy
Said, thank God I'm living, I ain't go to prison
For my brother and my sis, I'll make the ugliest decisions
Banked on the feeling, told mama what the deal is
Had a hunch and done did it, there's money in the written
They fronted, I ain't trippin'
It's funny you don't gotta tell a dummy his position
It be the spirits, tell 'em keep it quick and stay the fuck up out the business
Give a fuck about a critic, wasn't in the trenches
All the thunder in my chest, niggas wasn't interfering
Cop a bunch if I could spare it, struggle with appearance
Ain't much I could repair, but I still muscle through the errands
Said, enough the with the comparing, a love I couldn't cherish
Through the tunnel seen a glare, all that cluster isn't karats
I know it touch you when you hear it
One up in the air, ayy, my love I be embarrassed
You only stumble when you caring, one the wonders of the ferris
Huddles in despair, I overcome and been apparent
No more muzzle full of fear, running into terror
Uh, I said, thank God I'm living, I ain't go to prison
For my brother and my sis I'll make the ugliest decis-
