Born and raised in Harlem, NY, the music and culture of the city played a significant role in influencing Mike Mitch’s love for the craft. Realizing his voice mattered, Mitch coupled that with the challenge to create music that was authentic to him yet still trendy and catchy. Understanding the influence and power of music, his journey has given him what he’s always wanted – the ability to create art that promotes transparency, progression, and acceptance of his image and life story on a large scale. Through music, he strives to create content that people naturally relate to. Beyond that, he also seeks to be an artist who, through his truths, can inspire self-growth in others.
Mitch takes a soulful approach to vulnerability on his latest single, “I Still Lack Patience.” The artist employs velvet-lined flows that skate over infectious, nimble percussion to deliver his autobiographical, head-spinning rhyme schemes. Mitch seems to pride himself on keeping one foot in Hip-hop’s thriving underground and the other in mainstream trends, and this performance shows that the artist is on track to achieving his goal. An infectious energy that runs through “I Still Lack Patience” is undeniable, but his writing showcases a different side of Mitch’s artistry. His vulnerability knows no bounds as the artist digs deep to find the lyrics displayed on his latest. The self-reflection in the song doubles as a mirror to the listener, with his jazzy flows leaving enough room for the listener to look inward. Therein lies the magic of Mitch’s writing. The artist’s ability to pen deeply personal songs that still resonate with the listener is a testament to his honed craft and how he approaches each song with care and empathy. “I Still Lack Patience” introduces Mitch as a thoughtful songwriter whose fearless penmanship allows his thought-provoking lyrics to create a ripple effect in the listener’s life.
“‘I still lack patience’… is my daily reminder that through it all, trust the process, journey, and my faith to every destination,” explains Mitch.
