MIKE, I feel like you've saved me this year, or at least saved me from excessive self harm. Lost my dad and auntie this year. My relationship of 7 years just crumble when my partner couldn't deal with me at my lowest. And still I found the time to smile and dance to your music, dood. It's been more than hip hop or art to me; it's been healing. I am so grateful for your existence, MIKE. Peace and love~

[@nyko9631]

Hey man, I hope you are doing well, I wish you the best and I want you to know don't be afraid of reaching out for help to a specialist and your close ones, your life matters, keep going you got this 🤍

[@_ldb22]

My mother was also born on 11/29 and she left the physical in 2016. Been a rough time since, but we push on. Sad that some have to find strength in these circumstances. I wear her 19 around my neck every day. This song was much needed. Prayers and Blessings to you and yours, everyone. nineteen, forever. “I wear your number when it’s Game Time!”

Sister Nancy mentioned that after being sampled in countless hip-hop songs, she wished artists would reach out for collaboration instead of relying on her old songs. Props to MIKE for making it happen.

REST IN LOVE TO YOUR MOTHER MIKE. YOUR RAPS ARE HELPING A LOT OF US GET THROUGH. AS MUCH PAIN AS YOU EXPERIENCE WE DO TOO. SO HEARING YOUR ALBUMS AND KNOWING YOU RE STILL CREATING IS THERAPY. SHE IS PROUD OF YOU, HIP HOP IS PROUD OF YOU. THANK YOU BIG MIKE

[@OtisTheDoodle]

There's too much buzz around my name now to stay discreet How I'm the one who bring the fame 'round when I couldn't speak? I show my bro another way out I only trust you if you lay down When shit was getting deep Another summer with them gray clouds, puddles 'round my feet remain wild, never giving peace Since we huddled 'round the grave Fry in sun and then we freeze Grab a cup and let my face drown, company with trees Sit, stuttering away, cause the company to leave Just need something I could break down, budge against the heat Buckle up, we 'bout to change routes, never changing speed Sudden luck could go a great mile All this luggage make the plane ground Growin' up I learned to play a crowd, but I know when to leave Too much substance for the faint crowd, don't know when to keep Tryna cut it, I'm a strange flower growin' out the creek Know the job, if it can't file, come without receipts Peep your hustle when your brain's mild I hold the D, I can't fumble on a game shot I peep your struggle when your payin' mind I know my team, I wear your number when it's game time
