The music industry is filled with amazing up and coming talent and sometimes younger artists have so much potential but they never catch the break they deserve. We came across Mikey AK and absolutely love the young rappers potential. We wanted to help give him the spotlight and share his story in our latest feature article. Mikey AK spoke with our TapSongz Team to give us the latest scoop on his music and goals for the future.
Mikey AK was born in Washington D.C. and raised in Maryland, despite his parents being from Nigeria. He had an interest in music from an early age. "When I was younger I played the alto saxophone, violin and the cello, but I never had any idea I would want to make music back then," Mikey AK told our TapSongz Team. It wasn't until his freshman year in college at Arizona that Mikey AK started making music.
Our TapSongz Team loved Mikey AK's track "The Edge", a powerful Hip-Hop track which as amazing lyrics and a whole lot of heart in each and every verse. The official music video can be viewed below and is on YouTube. We loved Mikey AK's smooth rapping and the project turned out extremely well. The tune along with another released single "Kill The Game" are tracks on Mikey AK's upcoming mixtape "Kill The Game' is actually the lead single and available on iTunes, Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, basically everywhere," he told our TapSongz Team.
"Kill The Game" is an awesome single and the music video is even better. "My producer, Drew Beats, is amazing at what he does and we have built a solid sound together over the past 6 years," Mikey AK said. The young artist loves portraying messages through each of his songs as well. "My brand is The Cloud Life and the message behind that is to keep your head in the clouds. Above all of the nonsense that is going on around you," the young rapper added.
It is a busy time for Mikey AK over the next couple of months. He will be in Wilmington, Delaware, on July 17th for the Free Reign Hip-Hop Festival and on July 29th he will be doing his first international show in Toronto, Canada. "I'm really excited to get out and spread my music," Mikey AK said. "I am also releasing a mixtape in a few weeks called 'One More Freebie' which is going to feature a lot of dope artists you may or may not have heard of." Mikey AK also wanted to thank those that he has been working so closely with. "I want to give a big shoutout to my producer Drew Beats, my engineer Tony Krav, my booking manager Chris for helping with these opportunities, my Tour Manager Jarvez for helping keeping things moving along. And last but not least, thank you to the fans for believing in me and riding hard for The Cloud Life."
