Some artists are content to just follow along and go where the wind takes them. Others, on the other hand, want to set a great example with their music and with their ability. Mike Mongo definitely belongs to the latter category, with his seamless arrangements, witty lyricism and high quality productions that set the bar higher. While Mike showcases extensive talent as an artist and songwriter, he is also a keen businessman that truly understands his industry, knowing how to make music that sells and inspires people. In an industry where being heard is becoming increasingly difficult, being able to showcase your true talent is a rare skill, and Mike is a master at getting his music out there, in all the right ways. While many rappers are all about pumping up their ego with the same old clichés and the same old washed up image, Mike set out to achieve something greater for himself and up the ante in the hip-hop scene with his latest recording project, “The Stylistic Dreamer II” This album features 14 massive rap anthems that have a heart, a mind and soul: these songs aren’t only highly intelligent, but also masterfully produced and enormously commercially appealing. The album features many epic tracks, including the emotional “Roxbury Story”, with its old school taste, as well as the energetic “Compound”, an opening track that couldn’t be more perfect.
