MIKE is gearing up to release his new album, Showbiz!, on January 31, marking a highly anticipated return for the rapper and producer. The album will be released through his own label, 10k, and is set to include the lead single “You’re the Only One Watching.” Alongside the single, a music video has been produced, with MIKE co-directing the visuals alongside his frequent collaborator Ryosuke Tanzawa.
In 2024, MIKE has only unveiled one project—Pinball, a collaboration with Tony Seltzer—after an active 2023 where he released two albums: Faith Is a Rock and Burning Desire. Recently, he also shared a new single titled “Pieces of a Dream,” along with the announcement of an extensive tour planned for 2025.
In light of his recent achievements, MIKE's track “Crystal Ball” has earned a spot at No. 34 in the list of The 100 Best Songs of 2021, showcasing his continued impact on the music scene.
As he prepares for the album release, MIKE’s touring schedule is packed, featuring multiple shows across Australia in December before transitioning to Europe in February and then onto North America in April and May. The tour promises fans a chance to experience his evolving sound and artistry live.
