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.

In this show we're going to bring you
A variety of entertainment a variety of
Artistsvariety of music and dances we have
All learned that the taste that we put in
Is in the eating tonight
I've got something special
For you nice people, all of you, wherever
To what we're doing now I did a composition
The children of today are automatically the
Leaders of tomorrow and as we, the older
Ones, are fading out of the show
We are expecting you, the younger ones
To come up, pick it up
And do better than what we
Did and when I see young people
More soul, at your tender age
Having the courage to
Come forth and give out one of the endowments
Given to you by the almighty court
It pleases me
Listening to what we're doing
Uh i had them label checks going out to sis'
I can only stress the thought
To see her wrist tight
Sometimes I thought to take the
Losses as a gift
'Cause only death'll show you how to live
Right?
Although I only felt the sorrow I should give
Life, thorough like Big's
I'm barring like hitchhike
I pray tomorrow not rigged
It sucks that I gotta stay more than I did
Life is tough
Niggas gotta stay more than they did
From the slums so you gotta
Take more than they split, mIKE
Or more or less, yo, it's all the same shit
Break a sweat, start morphing at midnight
Pouring and the spliff
Take a morning just to shift
For the fortune I'm the quick type
Morals don't exist
They be oral over fist fights
Portal of abyss
A portion of your clique tight
Extortion of the disc, it's not an invite
Deployment of the ship
I'm done getting skipped twice
Enjoying what it is
Wide soul through the bliss sow a lick, MIKE
Photos of the jit, it make me
Wonder where it switch, like
Or where the grim rise
Foil of the kid, I act my Timbs size
Love me 'cause I've been riding
Ugh, my paranoia like a cyst
You shouldn't wait for me to itch by it
Know my taste something blazing
With the dim lighting
Favored 'cause the wit
Making paper from the slick writing
And listening to what we're doing

It sucks that I gotta stay more than I did
It's unfortunate that I have to endure longer than I planned
Life is tough
Existence is challenging
Niggas gotta stay more than they did
People have to persist longer than they intended
From the slums so you gotta
Originating from impoverished areas, so you must
Take more than they split, mIKE
Claim a larger share of resources than they divide, MIKE
Or more or less, yo, it's all the same shit
Either more or less, my friend, it's essentially the identical situation
Break a sweat, start morphing at midnight
Exert yourself, begin transforming at midnight
Pouring and the spliff
Pouring alcohol and smoking the joint
Take a morning just to shift
Spend a whole morning simply shifting
For the fortune I'm the quick type
I am the kind of person who swiftly seizes opportunities for wealth
Morals don't exist
Ethical principles hold no significance
They be oral over fist fights
They prioritize oral expression over physical confrontations
Portal of abyss
Gateway to an abyss
A portion of your clique tight
A segment of your group is loyal
Extortion of the disc, it's not an invite
Manipulation of the record, it's not an invitation
Deployment of the ship
Sending forth the vessel
I'm done getting skipped twice
I am finished with being overlooked on two occasions
Enjoying what it is
Appreciating what it currently represents
Wide soul through the bliss sow a lick, MIKE
Expansive soulfulness spreads joy, MIKE
Photos of the jit, it make me
Images of the youth, it causes me
Wonder where it switch, like
To contemplate where it changed, similar to
Or where the grim rise
Or where the darkness emerges
Foil of the kid, I act my Timbs size
As a barrier to the youngster, I play the tough guy role
Love me 'cause I've been riding
Adore me because I have been loyal
Ugh, my paranoia like a cyst
My anxiety, ugh, it's persistent like a cyst
You shouldn't wait for me to itch by it
You shouldn't wait for me to be motivated by it
Know my taste something blazing
Recognize that my preference is something remarkable
With the dim lighting
In the subdued illumination
Favored 'cause the wit
Chosen because of the cleverness
Making paper from the slick writing
Earning money from the smooth writing
And listening to what we're doing
And paying attention to what we are creating
