Audible Treats Audio Stream: MIKE-E "Afroflow"
05.22.2007
(Brooklyn, NY May 22, 2007)
The Song:
MIKE-E wants to take you way back, to a time when soul and rhythm were more than words. His new track, "AfroFlow," summons African drums and blues infused vocals and lines them up alongside modern hip-hop, remembering and respecting its roots while looking at the present with a clear-minded skepticism. Balancing hope with truth, America with Africa, and positive lyricism with old-fashioned hip-hop flow, MIKE-E is laying the foundation for a movement he calls AfroFlow.
The Background:
Born in Ethiopia, MIKE-E enjoys countrywide recognition with one of the country's most popular hits "Ethiopia (Everything Will Be Alright)." Stateside, the Detroit-based lyricist is most recognized for his repeat performances on HBO's hit show Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry, gracing the pages of leading urban lifestyle magazines including XXL, The Source, Slam, Vibe, and Complex, acting in the critically acclaimed motion picture, "Standing in the Shadows of Motown," and having his song "Get Into This" included in the popular EA sports game Friday Night Fights.
