Earlier this year, Long Beach resident Mikey PX put out one of the 1st Quarter’s most surprising projects with his debut, It’s Depressing, Being A Shooter. With a strong buzz that’s carried Mikey all the way through the summer, he returns with the short, but sweet follow up EP, Since You’re Here Now.

Clocking in at five tracks, Since You’re Here Now is a brief but exciting ride that showcases Mikey rapping a bit harder & a lot more inspired than he was on his last project. Right from the start, the intro sets the tone with what might be the most quoted line from the whole project, “I got some head from a freak bitch with a choker.”

Despite the project being an easy listen for each of the 5 songs, the two that standout without a doubt are, “When The Moon Blue,” & “Upset.” The former is an energetic, motivated track where Mikey spills all the beans about everything from label woes, cases & more over some ridiculous KapeThaGoat production.

The latter, on the other hand, is the party anthem of the project. Crafted by perhaps the hottest producer on the West Coast at the moment in Ron-Ron, “Upset,” is a very 2018, California-sounding track that has the best potential on the album to go viral. With a wildly infectious hook to go along with addictive melodies from RonRon to compliment, expect this song to be on your radios sooner than later.

Other songs that highlight Mikey’s potential are, “Plug >>> Deal,” the high octane, Bambino assisted song that sees Mikey ditiching the nonchalant cadence for some much needed urgency & “This High Forever,” a sobering & reflective cut that broadcasts Mikey’s personal feelings on a jumbo screen over some distinct production from one of Las Vegas’ best, UliCookUp.
