Mk.gee released his first EP in 2018. I didn't know of him till yesterday when I watched him on SNL. I can barely understand what he's singing, but the vibes are frosty. And so, down the rabbit hole I went, catching up on the last six years.
There's barely any personal information about him online and he rarely does interviews, which is a relief. I really should have just listened to his music, and maybe limited myself to his latest live videos where you can hardly make out his face. I don't know why I go on these idiotic deep dives.
I'm pretty late to the party, but this kid is good. I walked Bobby feeling light and not hating absolutely everything, fresh from the thrill of discovery. It reminded me on being young and listening to a new band in an internet cafe, just breathless and happy.
Then I saw a livestream he did in his home studio and his ceiling is burgundy. I've been contemplating whether to put wallpaper on my ceiling or just paint it.
And now, my mother just opened my door without knocking (which always raises my heart rate in an unpleasant way) and told me to take out the garbage.
