Description
SPINACH is the 2021 nine-track LP I cut with my cousin Stace Loyd on Dope Coffee Music. We marketed it as “a 9-track dissertation in Hip-Hop,” and that is still the cleanest description of what it is.
The record came out the same season as Ethiopian Dripp, the cold brew with Harriet Tubman on the bag and a QR code printed on the carton. Buy the coffee, scan the code, the album plays. That was the whole idea: the bean and the song are not separate businesses. They are one corridor. SPINACH is the album that came with a coffee.
Production is classic boom-bap with the soulful, jazz-leaning lean Stace likes to sit in. Nine tracks, just under thirty minutes, no filler.

- Venus (feat. CHEL)
- S.O.P.

“Venus” is my wife on the hook. “S.O.P.” and “White Paper Ballot” are the political backbone. “Black Card” is the closer that ties the whole thing off. If you want one entry point to what Creative Mike sounds like, this is it.
Physical CD, sleeved, on the Dope Coffee Music imprint.
