In a day of big new rap releases, don’t miss MIKE’s Black Soap

MIKE continues to make quiet and memorable waves on his new project Black Soap, surprise-released on Friday. The seven tracks of reel-2-real hip-hop were produced by the New York City artist and Darryl Johnson with instrumentation from the collective Standing On The Corner. "Black Soap symbolizes a fight for understanding and truth," MIKE writes in the album's Bandcamp page. Listen to the release below and watch a video for "MINISTRY" above.
