Last summer the New York lo-fi rap mainstay MIKE continued his tradition of releasing new albums on June 21 with Disco! Today he’s back with another woozy, loop-driven meditation called “Makeda” and a suitably dark and minimal dockside music video. The track has an enveloping warmth despite lasting barely more than a minute, and MIKE is right at home within it, moving from loose boasts and hater dismissals to contemplations on his family that pack a lot into just a few lines: “Check on how my brother is/ Saw violence/ Never saw my mother rich/ Flawed guidance.”

Below, check out “Makeda” and MIKE’s tour dates, including some shows with Freddie Gibbs.
