Rapper and producer MIKE is dropping his seventh full-length album, Beware of the Monkey, on December 21. We've already heard the tracks "nuthin i can do is wrng" and "What Do I Do?," and today he's shared the third single "Stop Worry!" featuring living-legend Jamaican dancehall artist Sister Nancy. The joyous track is a reflection on his growth and the life of his late mother Anuoluwapo Sandra Akinboboye, whom he honors with the release of the single on her birthday.
Accompanying the single is a vibrant video directed by Ryosuke Tanzawa wherein MIKE's crew hangs out in a massive white studio setup as a cozy bedroom. The group gathers around the rapper in this homely atmosphere playing video games, skateboarding, and retouching dreads, all while a couple of dogs stroll about, a disco ball glints, and someone rides around on a Citi Bike. Fluorescent synths dart around MIKE's sincere verses and Sister Nancy's encouraging toasts as they all share a laugh.
