MIKE has had another standout year by bolstering his catalog and making his "Tiny Desk" debut in early August.

MIKE has become one of the most beloved and prolific rappers over the last several years, especially this decade. The abstract New York voice has done so by blending introspective and personal writing while also proving he can do the trap thing pretty well too with the likes of Tony Seltzer. This week, to help put a bow on his 2025, MIKE has stopped by to add onto his acclaimed January release, Showbiz! Sometimes, artists add on live performances to their deluxe versions. That's what he's done here by tacking on his NPR Tiny Desk concert from August. It featured 11 tracks from across his catalog, including some from this body of work. If you want to see the original video, you can watch it here.

Zachary Horvath is one of the Music Freelance News Writers at HotNewHipHop and has held that title since August 2023. Prior to this position, he held another freelance gig covering local high school football, girls and boys varsity basketball, in addition to recapping Cleveland Cavaliers games remotely. He's taken the previous experience and used it to become a jack of all trades at HotNewHipHop. Zach has thoroughly enjoyed tackling some of the trending topics in sports, with a larger focus on hip-hop and pop culture. Some of those include Bronny James's draft stock, a multitude of angles swirling around the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, as well as Diddy's arrest and lawsuits. Separate from the headlines that everyone wants to hear about, he was fortunate enough to help spread Zaytoven's current thoughts at the time around mid-December in 2023. Even though being able to give his expertise on these stories is fulfilling, being able to share his passion for releases trumps that ever so slightly. Having the chance to express his excitement indirectly about what he thinks our readers should be checking out/revisiting grows his passion for writing that much more.
