But it was the heat Stud was tossing off the field that was raising eyebrows and bobbing heads. It wasn’t until the end of his Junior year that Stud would hone his hidden hip-hop skills. After two strong seasons at Duke, including an All-American Freshman year, Tommy John Surgery put Stud on the sidelines. Suddenly rhyming became an outlet to pass the time. But his flow was too impressive to be overlooked. Stud’s knack for clever rhymes and witty punches caught the attention of his peers and earned the respect of local artists. One in particular, Gerven, quickly noticed Stud’s swagger. One trip to Boston, four tracks and a photo shoot later, the duo launched Mike Stud as we know him. Now a graduate student at Georgetown University, Stud’s taking it day by day–a tough task when your hit single “Club Fantasy” is bumping non-stop on the radio in Providence and soon to be in Boston and D.C.
Bottom line, the kid’s just what his name suggests—-a Stud. Clearly the accomplishments he’s achieved in his life are a testament to his passions. Whether it’s baseball or his academics, Mike Stud has consistently found a way to do things bigger and better than most. With very little musical background, he’s already causing a stir in the industry. Armed with fresh beats and his signature flow, Stud’s bringing a smarter type of fresh to the hip-hop scene. The kid’s got it. Now it’s just a matter of time before everyone knows it.
Thank You
Mike Stud Lyrics

To thank ya'll
Welcome to Relief
Every time I need you
Thank you
Every time I need you, I see you
So I'm up late watching the sunrisin'
Mom and dad's garage is where I got started
They always stood behind me, like Obama they "o-bidin'"
One house just the four of us
We didn't have a lot, they gave it all to us
Now I'm smilin', nah I'm lyin', I'm cryin' while I'm writin' on this tour bus
But fuck it, cause I'm just being real
And nowadays that's kind of hard
Been fakin' like I've made it even though that's kind of far
Just played a show in front of 50 people at a bar
Is it really what it seems? Am I livin' out my dreams?
Cause most people think so
But they only see the videos and views, they should read some of these tweets
So I learned to deal with it
And nowadays everyone's a real critic
And I agree, a lot of times it's me
Got this douchebag persona, but in time you'll see
That I'm really just a normal dude
Go to normal bars, hang with normal dudes
Go to Applebee's, and eat normal food
Don't be mad at me, I'm gettin' sorta cool
But to the fans that can deal with me
And the people that keep it real with me
And most importantly my family
See, I just wanna say thank you
Every time I need you
Thank you
Every time I need you, I see you
I just wanna say thank you
Every time I need you
Every time I need you, I see you
A lot of nights I tend to overthink
So in turn I tend to over-drink, and woe is me
And I'm bombed off that whiskey
Hopin' they don't forget me when I'm gone in history
Think like a visionary, sittin' at Ben & Jerry's
Plottin' how I'm gettin' on top like missionary
Then kick it like Vinatieri
And stick around, no quickie like Kim and Reggies
So hittin' the cemetery for good 'till I'm gone
Singing my favorite song
Picking up my best friends to bring along
My sister my assistant now
This shit's a fucking business now
And I wouldn't say I'm ballin'
But I got money in my wallet
And these labels started callin'
I just wish Nanny and Pop were still here
I wish they could of saw this
They missed all of this
And nothing's ever perfect
But every one of ya'll has made this song worth it
And I just want to say thank you
Every time I need you
Thank you
Every time I need you, I see you
I just wanna say thank you
Every time I need you
Every time I need you, I see you

I just wanted to take this time out
I'm using this moment to express my gratitude
To thank ya'll
I'm thanking all of you
Welcome to Relief
This is a song to express my appreciation
Every time I need you
In moments of hardship, I'm grateful for your support
Thank you
I'm expressing my gratitude
Every time I need you, I see you
I feel your support and presence
See my reception isn't always good, this ain't Verizon
I'm not always received well
So I'm up late watching the sunrisin'
I'm up late working hard
Mom and dad's garage is where I got started
My parents provided me with a space to pursue my passion
They always stood behind me, like Obama they 'o-bidin''
My parents were always supportive, just like Obama's followers (Obamabots)
One house just the four of us
We didn't have much, but we had each other
We didn't have a lot, they gave it all to us
Despite not having much, my parents gave us everything they had
Now I'm smilin', nah I'm lyin', I'm cryin' while I'm writin' on this tour bus
I'm not always as happy as I appear to be
But fuck it, cause I'm just being real
I'm being genuine and honest
And nowadays that's kind of hard
It's difficult to be authentic in the entertainment industry
Been fakin' like I've made it even though that's kind of far
I pretend to have made it even though I still have a long way to go
Just played a show in front of 50 people at a bar
I'm still playing small gigs
Is it really what it seems? Am I livin' out my dreams?
I question if I'm achieving my goals
Cause most people think so
Most people believe I'm achieving my dreams
But they only see the videos and views, they should read some of these tweets
People only see my success online, but don't know the whole story
So I learned to deal with it
I've learned to cope with the pressure
And nowadays everyone's a real critic
Everyone has an opinion
And I agree, a lot of times it's me
I'm not perfect and I make mistakes
Got this douchebag persona, but in time you'll see
People may have a negative perception of me, but that will change
That I'm really just a normal dude
I'm just like everyone else
Go to normal bars, hang with normal dudes
I do normal things and spend time with friends
Go to Applebee's, and eat normal food
I eat at regular chain restaurants
Don't be mad at me, I'm gettin' sorta cool
I don't want people to be upset if I become more popular
But to the fans that can deal with me
I appreciate the fans who support me
And the people that keep it real with me
I'm grateful for those who are honest with me
And most importantly my family
My family is the most important thing to me
A lot of nights I tend to overthink
I often worry and overanalyze things
So in turn I tend to over-drink, and woe is me
I drink too much to cope with my worries and problems
And I'm bombed off that whiskey
I've had too much alcohol to drink
Hopin' they don't forget me when I'm gone in history
I hope to be remembered after I'm gone
Think like a visionary, sittin' at Ben & Jerry's
I try to think like a successful entrepreneur
Plottin' how I'm gettin' on top like missionary
I'm strategizing how I can become successful
Then kick it like Vinatieri
I'll succeed like a successful athlete
And stick around, no quickie like Kim and Reggies
I'm in this for the long haul and won't give up easily
So hittin' the cemetery for good 'till I'm gone
I won't give up until I'm dead and gone
Singing my favorite song
I'll do what makes me happy
Picking up my best friends to bring along
I'll surround myself with positive people
My sister my assistant now
My family is still involved in my career
This shit's a fucking business now
My career has become more important
And I wouldn't say I'm ballin'
I'm not wealthy
But I got money in my wallet
I have some financial stability
And these labels started callin'
I'm gaining attention from music labels
I just wish Nanny and Pop were still here
I wish my grandparents were here to see my success
I wish they could of saw this
I wish they could have been a part of this
They missed all of this
They were not here to see it
And nothing's ever perfect
Everything has its flaws
But every one of ya'll has made this song worth it
My fans have made everything worth it
And I just want to say thank you
I'm expressing my appreciation once again
