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.

Yeah, yeah
Why they tryna play me like I don't know the facts?
It's really from the heart, so I don't hold it back
Is you really 'bout the block or do you really love the cab?
I be chilling off of Broadway, shawty know the ave
Dancing like a jabber, jabroni on his ass
I don't gotta ask, I already got a pass
Your homie phoney as a mask, when I'm rolling like the brass
Man, holy in this mass book, I'ma need the cash
Now, tell me how the Backwoods got niggas going bad
Ain't it funny how the fast footed always come in last
Yeah, I'm always on the path for dying, I can lap
Please tell 'em, that's nothing to me
Hard work pays off, it was nothing for cheap
They hurt, they lost, they wanted to see
We was the first to evolve, but it's nothing to me
Please tell 'em, please tell 'em, please tell 'em
Please tell 'em, that's nothing to me
Hard work pays off, it was nothing for cheap
They hurt, they lost, they wanted to see
We was the first to evolve, but it's nothing to me
We thirsty, we dogs, we been hungry to eat
We in the dirt with the mob while you ducking the cheese
The niggas burn to me, hard to be, up on the street
My niggas hurting, we mourn for the ones who deceived
Please tell 'em, please tell 'em, please tell 'em
Please tell 'em, that's nothing to me
Hard work pays off, it was nothing for cheap
They hurt, they lost, they wanted to see
We was the first to evolve, but it's nothing to me
MIKE MIKE’s song Nothin’ to Me talks about the challenges he faces in life and how he deals with them. He questions why people try to play him or act like he doesn’t know the truth. He expresses his honest feelings without holding back and explains that he’s always been on the path to success, despite the obstacles he may have faced. He emphasizes that his achievements were a result of his hard work and not a product of luck, and that other people’s attempts to bring him down have been in vain. He mentions that he’s come a long way from feeling lonely and isolated, but he still remains true to himself and his values. The chorus of the song emphasizes that the negativity and hatred directed towards him is nothing compared to the hard work and effort that he put in to reach his goals.
Throughout the song, MIKE MIKE uses different techniques to portray his message. For instance, he uses metaphorical expressions such as "dancing like a jabber”, "jabroni on his ass", "rolling like the brass" and "hanging by myself, but I was lonely in the past". He also uses a rhetorical question, "is you really 'bout the block or do you really love the cab?" to challenge people's authenticity. The repetition of the phrase “please tell 'em” reinforces the message that he is not affected by the negativity and that he remains positive and unfazed despite the challenges he may have faced.
