NYC rapper MIKE has announced a new album, Showbiz, due January 31 via his own 10k label. Along with the announcement comes new single “You’re the Only One Watching,” which MIKE produced himself under his DJ Blackpower moniker, and which comes with a video co-directed by MIKE and frequent collaborator Ryosuke Tanzawa. The song finds MIKE’s hazy rapping style in fine form, with his bars weaving in and out of a pitched-up soul sample. Check it out below. “You’re the Only One Watching” follows recent single “Pieces of a Dream.”

As previously mentioned, MIKE is also going on an extensive international tour in 2025, concluding with a hometown NYC show on May 31 at Irving Plaza. All dates are listed below.
