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.

Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Them niggas on my body like some bedbugs
Me and Dhane tryna find who
Got the best tucks
Speak to mommy and she proud of me
She sent love
I paint pictures with his blood
The same nigga act a fool off
Need to stick it in the mud
Reapers kicking it with us for tonight
We was chilling by the dust 'til the night
Ain't too many niggas that I trust
So I keep a couple niggas down
To rush by my side my niggas jump
Stop acting like you never seen
Doves in the sky
Yeah, we clutched on the prize
I been searching where there's
Nothing to find
But distrust in myself and disgust in my eyes
I'll be lucky if time slow down
Slow down, it'd be funny if MIKE hold crown
Whole town gon' run from me, gotta slow down
Slow down i been searching where there's
Nothing to find
But distrust in myself and disgust in my eyes
I'll be lucky if time slow down
The lyrics of "GNATS" by MIKE convey a sense of detachment and disillusionment. The opening lines suggest a struggle to find the motivation to leave the comfort of bed, while also feeling burdened by the presence of others who constantly demand attention and drain energy, likened to bedbugs. The lyrics "Me and Dhane tryna find who, Got the best tucks" could be interpreted as a search for authenticity and meaningful connections in a world that often feels superficial and insincere.
The mention of speaking to "mommy" and her pride in the singer implies a longing for validation and support, which is contrasted with the darker imagery of "painting pictures with his blood." This could symbolize a creative catharsis or a release of pain and frustration. The reference to liquor and acting a fool suggests a reliance on substances as a coping mechanism, perhaps to drown out thoughts of self-doubt and internal conflict.
The lyrics then shift to a scene where the singer is surrounded by those he trusts, while emphasizing the scarcity of such people in his life. The line "Ain't too many niggas that I trust, So I keep a couple niggas down, To rush by my side my niggas jump" suggests a protective and loyal circle of friends who are ready to support and defend him. Amidst this backdrop of companionship, there is a sense of urgency, as if time is slipping away and the singer is striving for recognition and validation with the lyric "Slow down, it'd be funny if MIKE hold crown, Whole town gon' run from me, gotta slow down."
Overall, "GNATS" reflects themes of disillusionment, the search for authenticity, and the struggle for validation in a world that seems to move too fast.
