I remember my first time talkin to Mikey at the 4&rota nats back when Madbul was a 3 rota. He was the same then as he is now just an all out most chilled, out going, coolest legend of a dude bro. I'm stoked he finally got to tell his story on this channel for those who dont know him or of him. It's people like him with the same confidence and zest for life that we should thrive to have around us because they know how to get to where we're heading whiles keeping us humble at the same time. The man Mikey!!
