At just 21-years-old, rapper/songwriter Mike Dimes represents the infectious energy of a generation that continuously refuses to be pigeonholed. With a standout sound that mirrors his Southern roots yet shows nuances from rap’s most eccentric stars like Joey Bada$$ and A$AP Rocky, Mike Dimes is a rising force on the underground scene quickly growing into a name you need to know.   In just under one year, the Texas based artist has attracted the likes of music enthusiasts everywhere, with outlets like KAZI, VIPER Mag and Early Rising highlighting his raw talent and steadily-climbing fanbase.   Born to a military family, Mike’s early influences are a reflection of all the places he’s called home throughout the years, spanning from the Deep South to the Midwest. His introduction to music began through embracing his artist gifts and poetry at a young age, with his pen-game later transitioning into raps after listening to legends like Tupac Shakur, Lauryn Hill and Andre 3000.   His most prominent record, “My Story,” released earlier this year, accumulated over 2.5 million streams in under 2 weeks upon its release, and the song has amassed over 420k uses across various sounds on TikTok. 
 Fans can look forward to new music in the fall, with Mike describing his sound as “real, full of emotions and diversity — no one song sounds like another.”
