Artist Biography

MIKE, aka Michael Jordan Bonema, is a rapper who was born in New Jersey in 1998 and spent a chunk of his childhood in London.

His breakout release was the 2017 mixtape May God Bless Your Hustle which was followed by a series of mixtapes the following year. In 2019, MIKE released his album Tears of Joy which was a reaction to his mother’s death.
