i've been obsessed with mk.gee since i discovered him late 2021, i'm so glad he's getting the recognition he deserves - he has such a unique sound

[@bear5197]

🏅

[@nashgrooms252]

He’s going to. I’m so confident that he will… we’re not there just yet, but he’s about to be. Could be next album.

[@FSHB]

Congrats for been since day one. No one cares

[@Tiimmy99]

I also discovered him in 2021!!! with his track Untitled, till this day its still one of my favourite songs and the song that acc got me DEEP into indie music

[@christianjackson3524]

Saw him live on Saturday. Unbelievable experience, that guitar sounds even more otherworldly in person.

[@marcusagain]

Unbelievable experience

[@trailersparks]

I really hope he ends up writing and touring with Dijon again. They seem like musical soul sisters lol, everything they do together is magic

[@hadjitube]

just dropped a vid on dijon too!

[@yy-pt2lh]

Mike is truly one of those artists that can completely change the way you look at music. He is mind bugguling

[@cavanbrady1591]

"driving down the nj turnpike" *shows atlanta*

[@hadjitube]

LMAO yea i addressed this in another comment my fault not my proudest moment

[@westsidecrown]

that "anytime i allow myself to be creative" is a success is such a bar bro. Def great advice for artists.

[@weezer91101]

The fact fantano rated it a strong 6 is wild to me. This album is so powerful. It’s almost what’s not played that plays the loudest. It’s pure genius. Surprised he doesn’t hear what the fans hear.

[@jk.9300]

I seriously don’t know how he didn’t give this an 8

[@bmoneybby]

I didn't know people still watched fantano.

[@ianrobinson3740]

Mk.gee and dijon have changed so much about how i go about making music, im glad theyre both getting the recognition they rightfully deserve

[@norma5219]

Came for Dijon, stayed for Mk.gee

[@broganpero]

bro this video is SO GOOD! you articulated all of the thoughts and feelings ive had about this unique sound and style mkgee has been crafting it felt like a weight got lifted off my shoulder hearing someone else know exactly what is so good about his sound!

[@kidyuki1]

I only just found him a few months ago through Two Star. It really is a life changing album. Great video!

[@thaevildoer]

got into mkgee from him working with dijon and his new album is so beautiful it’s my aoty for sure so far

[@hadjitube]

vid on dijon just dropped :)

[@victoryzy]

wow… this is the mkgee video essay I was waiting for!! I’ve become a fan after seeing him play on Dijons Absolutely and watching the live tour setup video. when he released candy I was stunned.. a fresh abstract textural sound and a new way to play guitar.. who knew the whole two star album would becoming. I’m so proud to see him really blow up on a new level now!!

[@hadjitube]

just did a vid on dijon too :)

[@victoryzy]

@@hadjitube YESSSSSSS gonna check it out

[@Lazypantsgirll]

been a huge fan since 2019. it's so exciting to see people recognize his genius!!

[@caelanmurie-gq2sj]

First song I've heard from him was Are You Looking Up and, to me, that song is timeless.

[@facesplaylist]

my guy! very informative and well put together video with a good mix of facts and humour. was happy to see you at the top of this organic search as i'm actually out here tryna understand this artist more, about to go listen and take in the lyrics

[@hadjitube]

fancy seeing u around here!

[@henry30000]

just saw him last night in philly, absolutely amazing

[@mattsabean]

same in nyc it was insane

[@AmandaabnamA]

Candy reminds me of Lany's 4EVER! which also has that 80s feel

[@user-zv7km8nq1p]

I’ve been listening to Mk.Gee since 2020 the first song I heard was Untitled and I fell in love with his talent. I saw him at his San Francisco show and mannn oh man 🔥 Thank you for posting it’s nice to see a community that also supports him

[@elisenolte6633]

I find it really beautiful that so many people have common experiences of AMOC being an album that they enjoyed whilst commuting/being in transit. Idk how to explain it but it really is an album that feels like it’s meant to be enjoyed whilst driving on dark night. Changed my view of music forever

[@yvngarmz5984]

I hope in the wake of Two stars success people dive into Museum of contradiction. I was pleasantly surprised by your pandemic anecdote, very relatable that album is very very special to me. I feel like that project changed my ears in a sense.

[@nandesnation]

Bro... as a brazilian and recent fan of Mkgee by his new album, all I can say is thank your for this video. You get it absolutely right in this video. I'm loving this journey. Music is blessed now we got Mkgee gettin his recognition.

[@bkellylovesyou]

Saw him in Atlanta last month and omg one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Seeing him again in September!!

[@TheWesrocks123]

Just found mk.gee this weekend and love the sound

[@alistairescott]

got into him through blonded and eventually A Museum of Contradiction, then was properly hooked with the singles for Two Star which blew me away. also got the chance to take photos for his London show which ended up being a legendary night. he's one of the best performers out there and a lovely guy too

[@lairdhercules4553]

Candy definitely was a song in the 80s. It's by Debarge called "All this love" which was later sampled by AZ in the early 2000s with the song Problems. Not trying to snitch, but the lyric is undeniable and doesn't take away from Mk.gee's music.

[@magneto44]

life long professional music for 3 decades now, and mk.gee is by far my favorite current artist first time I heard mk.gee it was his weird but extremely cool live version of Dream Police, 30 seconds in I was saying to myself “this is something new that’s never been done before l” it was similar feeling as the first time I heard “Even Flow” by Pearl Jam before I had ever heard the word grunge, hearing that after a decade in the 80’s of crap hair metal and overproduced pop, there was instant realization that this was the beginning of something new and the end of what came before you only get that a couple times in a lifetime, if you are lucky to live long enough

[@hadjitube]

super sick to hear!!!!

[@angel-dx1mv]

really great video! i’ve been a fan since 2020 and even learned some new things.. so nice to see mk.gee grow and get the recognition he deserves. met him after the nyc show and he’s so genuine and cool. deserves all this love and more.

[@gmartin167]

Eric Clapton even came out and endorsed him.

[@hadjitube]

i saw this!!! so cool!!!

[@Yoyoambassador]

Just saw him in dc man so good

[@Ajtheartist111]

“Over Here” was the first song I listened to by Mk.gee , I believe sometime in 2019 I heard it play. He’s got an interesting sound that’s appealing to my ears.

[@marcusagain]

Andrew Aged is also super important in this! You can hear it, a beautiful thing. I’m glad you mentioned him. INC PAVED THE WAY (part of the way)

[@hadjitube]

inc is soooooo good

[@merkiwaters]

Mk.gee is so inspiring

[@Whoosh12345]

He's had consistently interesting production since his first album in 2018. Totally deserves all the recognition he's getting now.

[@heirtothepwn]

Fantastic video dude! I loved watching the Freebird and Cliffs of Dover videos of young Mike

[@rob9974]

Been listening to the new album while cooking today, so far really really good, it reminds me of 22, a million a lot. Also great vid, your topics that you discuss are always really interesting❤

[@yveswolfgang]

have u done a vid on jeans dawson? u should

[@hadjitube]

rly good idea

[@IHMadeThis]

Just discovered Mk.gee about a week ago. I needed this video.

[@snickitysnack1571]

Thanks for the recc (his production is really nice) and yippee queens nyc rep lol

[@heshhippietv]

Mk.gee makes me think of MGK just with mixed up letters

[@hadjitube]

cursed but i cant unsee that now

[@marcusbishop8936]

Discovered him when he released his 2020 mini album. He is different gravy to the rest of the indie music scene right now imo 🙏

[@levipatton93]

@hadji - incredible point at the 11:00 mark! this is an incredible reminder.

[@MANTRAWHO]

No lie, I think the world needed Two Star. Maybe it's the importance of it in my own, but I feel that album insanely. Very excited to see where he goes next

[@seanseams6308]

Just saw him few nights ago in Boston amazing concert. The encore was insane

[@jjxshua]

What’s crazy is that for the longest time I liked Mk.Gee but felt like his music was just okay, when I heard songs off his candy EP I thought it was a whole different artist and now Dream Police is one of my favourite albums of all time 🫡

[@eficer04]

he’s the people’s new guitar hero

[@ranielyfire]

Saw him live last week and he played a new song. Wow I gotta say I’m waiting eagerly for the official release of it

[@thaiczd]

LOVE LOVE LOVE MK.GEEEEEEE

[@lilfellavids]

I love mkgee he gon blow up fr

[@JudahZamar]

Funfact: Mk.gee said in a live that he wanted to do untitled for the colors preformance but couldnt for some reason

[@FrankTrouble]

[@drewgrit_]

Incredible video dude, really enjoyed it, long live mk.gee

[@ruud6828]

[@GoAndLive]

Just watched a vid of him shredding Cliffs of Dover as a kid. The mage is 1 of 1. Pure magic from his axe

[@mrdecember]

You’re making great videos. Keep it up

[@user-on7qe1cy1p]

I'm so happy I found two star and the dream police man I really hope he makes more stuff with this sound the nostalgic feeling is everything I've been looking for in music

[@jackmoore541]

Great video man, album of the year so far for me

[@josiah641]

I saw him live in april after being obsessed since 2020 then saw tyler post from the tour date in LA. I need him at flog gnaw '24

[@Tonyxstorm]

I randomly watched his Jimmy Kimmel performance thanks to the algorithm and hes hard af! so this video was perfectly timed 🔥

[@kllaflip101]

Ah shit gonna go see mk gee tonight in brooklyn so hype

[@hadjitube]

reply to this after the time of ur life

[@HPOfficejetProeAll-In-Oneserie]

Jai Paul walked so mkgee and Dijon could run… almost a decade before either

[@hadjitube]

haha yep thats why i went and did his video after i did theirs

[@mjortiz1098]

Love the video bro but the music kinda distracting

[@Officialmateomusic]

That moment I find out one of my twitter mutuals makes fire video essays and one them is on my fav artist rn

[@jayrencemusic]

Phenomal vid man. 🎉

[@Spikespiegal]

The oddest thing, I found him yesterday thru a random SoundCloud suggestion lol & now your talkin about him, guess that’s a sign

[@SidyChe]

found him on Two Star, he will impact a generation for sure

[@seon47]

gas thank you for sharing

[@pjayf]

i've been listening his music since 2018 with album Pronounced McGee, curiously I prefer his 'old' stuff rather than his recent releases.

[@hadjitube]

i think its valid to! i still love museum of contradiction haha

[@keenancole2874]

No offense bro but you call everyone you cover your favorite artists favorite artist, I think you should title and structure the videos around their unique talents and what they bring to the table individually instead of trying to clout them up through other bigger artists

[@hadjitube]

none taken at all! what ur saying makes sense but im specifically picking artists who appeal to other artists due to their approach in the craft and trying to frame it that way, i can def see how it looks like clout alignment or whatever but thats not what im trying to do haha. also i was doing more like what ur saying before, but my vids have performed better since i titled them that way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ def a small sample size but as they say, if it aint broke hah. i appreciate the feedback though i might not do it forever but its been a fun series so far!

I've heard him. I find him boring. I hope others like him though. I wish him luck!
