The album shows that even while navigating the "showbiz" of the music industry, MIKE stays true to the raw, underground ethos that defined his rise. It is a defining piece of work from a prolific artist at the peak of his creative power.

The highly anticipated album by New York underground hip-hop pioneer MIKE (Michael Jordan Bonema) officially arrived on January 31, 2025 , through his independent imprint 10k . Spanning a massive 24 tracks over a tight 47 minutes, the record represents a monumental stepping stone for the Brooklyn-based surrealist, balancing his signature loop-heavy melancholy with a shimmering, spiritual newfound brightness.

Showbiz is a long con. is the getaway.

MIKE is a preservationist of the 90s mixtape era. Back then, music was distributed via CDs and Zip disks (and then .ZIP folders on blogs). Searching for the "Zip" is a nostalgic act. It signals that you want the artifact , not just the playlist addition.

. The album serves as a masterclass in "sLUms"-style abstract hip-hop, blending hazy, sample-heavy production with poignant, stream-of-consciousness lyricism to explore the friction between his public persona and his internal, lived reality. The Sound of Transit and Memory Production on —handled primarily by MIKE under his dj blackpower alias—is defined by its dreamlike, unhurried atmosphere.

Showbiz! is not just an album; it's a testament to MIKE's dedication to the art of production and his unapologetic, intimate songwriting style.
