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.

Bumpin' SwagyTracks, wishin' people knew me
I was grindin' hard, I was makin' moves
Think that half my friends thought
That I was looney
I just had a drive as if I knew this comin'
Workin' all the time but
Wasn't makin' nothin'
My friends' amusement
Never really thought that it
Would turn to something but that's that
I just fell in love with this rap
In GarageBand on my old Mac
Yeah, I'm talkin' way back
Way back to the start of it
Before the first hit, first fan
First all of it now I got a couple hit's
I think I'm doin' fine
Rappin' off the charts
Still ain't in my prime
I'ma keep on goin' 'til the top is mine
Put my heart and soul inside every line
Like-
Yeah, I came a long way
Had a tough few years
Still, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
Had to battle my thoughts
Had to fight my fears
No, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
They can say what they like about me
I'm just movin' at a different speed
Everybody was the first to doubt me
Not too many saw what I could see
Yeah, we came a long way
Had a tough few years
No, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
Whole life changed, 2017
Goin' all in, no more in between
No days off, no lame excuses
This is intuition, no one intervene
This a real movement, this my real life
I dropped out of school, then I did it twice
Still makin' more than all
These business majors
All these business majors can't
Get me advice
Way back then, they were all laughin'
Hope they keep it comin'
Please give me somethin'
Yeah, you talk a lot
But you ain't doin' nothin'
Me, I really do it you
Ain't hear me bluffin'
That's the difference, homie
You ain't got the passion
You ain't got the fire
That's the shit you lackin'
Last month I made more than my parents
Off of fuckin' rappin'
Told me that won't happen now it did
Yeah, I came a long way (long way)
Had a tough few years (few years)
Still, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
Had to battle my thoughts
Had to fight my fears
No, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
They can say what they like about me
I'm just movin' at a different speed
Everybody was the first to doubt me
Not too many saw what I could see
Yeah, we came a long way (long way)
Had a tough few years (few years)
No, I wouldn't change shit (change shit)
That's the reason I'm here
I still think I'm dreamin'
At a loss for words
I've been told "no" at almost every turn
By some rap labels, by some music agents
Told me I don't got the look to make it work
If I'm honest with you, I almost gave up
Couldn't get a blog to ever play us
My debut album hit the fuckin' charts
Spread it to the fans bitch, we came up
Yeah, I came a long way (long way)
Had a tough few years (few years)
Still, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
Had to battle my thoughts
Had to fight my fears
No, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here

I'm just movin' at a different speed
Everybody was the first to doubt me
Not too many saw what I could see
Yeah, we came a long way (long way)
Had a tough few years (few years)
No, I wouldn't change shit (change shit)
That's the reason I'm here
