Artist: Mike G
\nMixtape: Verses
\nReleased: April 11, 2013 <\/p>\n

Before becoming a member of Odd Future<\/strong> in 2009, Michael Griffin II, aka Mike G<\/a> had originally been a fan but then was later asked by Tyler, The Creator<\/strong> to officially join the group. Mike G<\/strong> is an American rapper and in 2010 he released a debut studio mixtape with Odd Future<\/a> called Ali<\/a>. According to reviewers this album had embraced Mike’s<\/strong> “laid back flow,” and gained positive reviews. With this being said, his flow continues in his new mixtape Verses<\/a> which was released on April 11, 2013 as the 3-year anniversary of Ali<\/strong>. Among the mixtape, Mike G<\/strong> approaches the track named “You’re The One”<\/strong><\/em> with Charli XCX<\/a> and The Internet<\/a> making it have a new wave feel. One track I really like on Verses<\/strong> was “Season’s Change”<\/strong><\/em> feat. Speak<\/a> because of the relaxing vibe it brought and I could imagine listening to this while just cruising in a car. Most of the tracks on Verses<\/a> manage to bring a calm feeling, along with further assisting Mike’s known flow. If you’re looking for relaxing hip-hop tunes, this mixtape is for you.<\/p>\n
