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.

(Sucks 'cause that we could've made bucks, he was hating)
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Sucks 'cause he could've made
Sucks 'cause that we could've made bucks, he was hating
Stuck by still, make much on the pavement
'Nough said, bro, you heard your stuff, you was tasteless
Puff sense and we get drunk on occasion
Lunges, tryna get up, tryna stay there
London, dealing with the bums, not vacation
Run them, but I gave up, not a gang clip
Four ones, let a nigga drop in the same year
Tour runs, gotta hit my box on the safe kit
2 train, used to help my aunt with the daycare
Food chains turned into guap, who placed it?
New day, headed to the top, not a grey hair
Headed to the top, not a grey hair, ay
Ay, ay could've made bucks, he was hating
Sucks 'cause he could've made bucks, he was hating
I'm still on the pavement, uh, I'm still getting payment
Sucks 'cause he could've made bucks, he was hating
I'm still on the pavement, uh, I'm still getting payment
In Mike's song "It's Like Basketball," he delves into the theme of success and how it can lead to jealousy and hate from others. The first line, "Sucks 'cause that we could've made bucks, he was hating," suggests that the singer and someone else could have made a lot of money if not for the other person's hate or jealousy. The line "Stuck by still, make much on the pavement" implies that despite the hate, the singer persevered and found success. The third line, "‘Nough said, bro, you heard your stuff, you was tasteless," could be suggesting that the other person was lacking in talent or perhaps their attitude was tasteless. The singer then talks about love leaving and "got Mason," which could mean he found a new love or is referencing his son or his own self-preservation. The line "Puff sense and we get drunk on occasion" could be referencing smoking weed and drinking to celebrate success.
The lines "London, dealing with the bums, not vacation / Run them, but I gave up, not a gang clip" suggest that the singer was dealing with dangerous situations but decided not to engage in violence. The line "Four ones, let a nigga drop in the same year" implies that the singer lost someone close to him. Additionally, the line "Food chains turned into guap, who placed it?" suggests that the singer is making a lot of money - enough to turn food chains into wealth - and he questions who is responsible. The final line, "New day, headed to the top, not a grey hair," shows that the singer has not aged or changed much due to success.
