Hip-Hop | Tarik & Mike Stud – You Don’t Know Me (Prod. VP)
Posted by LoffyG on July 8, 2012
Week 2 of #SundayStudDay is here and with every week Mike tries to make each release sound different from the last, whether it’s a remix, cover or an original. This week Mike teams up with Tarik to create an original track that’s very personal and delivers a message. I definitely like when Mike makes songs like these because it’s one of his stronger suits in my opinion, and I’m sure many of his fans have been waiting on something like this because its been awhile. Many people probably haven’t heard of Tarik such as myself, but this guy can rap. Follow him on his social media below!

Hip-Hop, Videos | Mike Stud – Youth (Prod. One Love)
Posted by LoffyG on July 1, 2012
if you second guess yourself for a second you’ll end up second”
When I first heard Mike Stud was dropping a video for a song called “Youth” as the first installment of #SundayStudDay my first thought was he’d be going in over the version off Kilmer’s Babraham Lincoln mixtape, but I was wrong. This is a totally different instrumental produced by One Love that samples “We Are Young” by Fun ft. Janelle Monáe. Another great song from Mike Stud and dope visuals to accompany it by none other than his right hand man Jon Kilmer! Also if you’re diggin’ that exclusive Mike Stud Youth tank he’s rocking in the video you can cop that over at Freshletes.

DOWNLOAD: Mike Stud – A Toast 2 Tommy Tour Singles
There is no doubt that Mike Stud has been on the rise since he released his freshmen mixtape A Toast to Tommy, in the beginning of last October. It achieved great success debuting at #3 on the iTunes hip-hop charts and #66 on the Billboards, sheesh. Afterwards, Mike embarked on his first Nationwide tour that rocked 25 cities in 2 months, selling out the final 6 shows. Along the road he dropped numerous singles and a handful of videos to accompany them. With each song he progressed and tried new things, even taking an attempt at singing on “Is It Worth It” and “Boyfriend”, and it wasn’t too shabby. Overall, the growth and progression of Stud’s movement is something many new artists dream of and hope to achieve.
