I’ve decided this week will be Grind Time Un-Official Week.

That means I’ll be digging through my Mike folder, actual CDs & such to find a different Grind Time Official or Mike song to bless with you with daily. I say unofficial just in case I lose steam & decide to abandon the idea halfway through the week or skip a day etc.

The first offering is something appropriate for a Sunday morning. It comes off of Ghetto Extraordinary, unreleased material from 2005 for & which Tom Breihan refers to as Mike’s “long-lost-time capsule album.” For the song, Mike has takes on the P.O.V. of a repentant, conscious hustler that he’s used successfully on other occasions & it works well here is well. What it does is show the multifaceted aspects to him as an artist & as a man. Intellectual Morehouse man, dope boy, wizened inhabitant of the corner all wrapped in one, assisted by a staccato arrangement of instruments composing the beat and supplemented by gospel vocals.
