Mike Melinoe is an addict. Yeah, “Addict Venture” is about drugs, but I’m talking about hip-hop. While some can take a hit, chill, and leave it alone, Melinoe wakes in the middle of the night with cold sweats. The memory of cracking snares on the twos and fours leaves him scratching his skin trying to replicate the rhythm.
The track’s ode to substance and hip-hop dependence is off of Melinoe’s upcoming EP, Caveman. On the chorus, a funhouse mirror repetition of “we get high”, Mike stretches his voice to its psychoactive extremes. His brain cells may be slowly getting fried, but his wordplay is crisper than ever.
Mike will be releasing an EP titled Caveman this summer.
