MIKE is insane for this lmao. A collab album including him comes out a month ago and he just casually drops another album, and this seems to be his longest yet.
Dear Michael J. Bonema It’s Almost 2024 Michael, You’ve Made a Great Album called Burning Desire 🔥🔥🔥 If you are Proud of what You Created You should More than Be, One of the Most Inspirational, Calming, & Impactful Rappers to Date, I hope you are doing More than Good 👍🏿 😄
I clicked on this video because I used to have a really sustained interest in the art of ancient cultures as a kid, especially from the Aztecs. The mask on the thumbnail instantly drew me in. Wasn’t sure what to expect from this video, having never heard of MIKE or any of his music, and to be completely honest I didn’t understand it at first. But MIKE’s flow still had me coming back because of how different it sounded from other artists, with how eerily calm it was. Now this album is one of my go to’s for when I’m chilling at home, doing chores, homework, whatever. I used to absolutely despise rap because I thought it was just a bunch of lyrics talking about meaningless stuff (gucci gang certainly didn’t help), but songs like DUCKWORTH. (Especially with my nickname lol), 3005 or Doomsday remind me that rap can be just as rhythmically and melodically beautiful as any other genre, and oftentimes the lyrics are far more honest than other artists can bear to admit. This album’s hazy, distorted sound makes me think about the past, about how much I want to go back and fix things, how many times I’ve held myself back for fear of overextending, those lovely, lonely days where the colors of the sunset were just as mixed up as my feelings…realizing that the part of me that loves this kind of music has been buried for far too long. “How long have you denied that burning desire?” Too long, MIKE. Far too long. ❤️🔥
Every mask saying wussgood before dropping back into everything- each having their own unique spark of life, something new to give, also not the only thing given. Like how each day is new and full of opportunity. One love y’all
My boyfriend loves Mike so much and he recently put me on and I've been hooked ever. My life is completely changed and I'm in love with his music and artistry. I'm so grateful to my boyfriend for introducing me to real and amazing music.
In the last 3 years, each Mike drop has completely blessed and changed my life. For the better. Each damn drop. Thank you for this beautiful music. Ive really appreciated it.

This album is amazing. The beats are so impactful and expressive and the flow is sooo smooth over these. Everything connects together and makes so much sense. 2023 AOTY if not album of the century! Thank you MIKE.
Listened to this 4 times yesterday.. so much good songs. Songs like zombie, real love, thise song he disent even talk or sing on. Beautiful we blessed to get this one here Its like weight of the world and disco combined
I'm in desperate need of a tiny desk Performance of burning desire now....😢😢😂😂❤ this whole album got me levitating outta my chair.. thank you BIG MIKEY
ngl at midnight I was listening to ken carson but since it’s ass i decided to play this album and was blown away. aoty for sure or top 3 minimum. thank you mike
i aint kiddint when i say that this might be my album of the year. i randomly found this on my youtube feed and it was a GOATED first listen. had to relisten to it all 2 more times right after
If MIKE were to take a few years off of music, I wouldn’t even be mad. He has absolutely SPOILED us and I couldn’t be thankful enough. I’m probably glazing like CRAZY but his music has really motivated me to keep pushing along in my lowest points, for that, I am forever grateful. BIG LOVE 🫶
What an emotional rollercoaster. This is by far my favorite project yet. I’m so proud of you MIKE. Your family, your Queen, all your loved ones and supporters are endlessly proud of you. I laughed, smiled, shook my head in disbelief of the bars, well-thought out transitions and quality production. I even cried while listening to this album. Your music saved my life. So yes, it touches a different nerve for sure for sure! It’s BIG LOVE ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
MIKE is one of the greatest artists of our times The Kendrick,Cole &drake era is officially done and he’s leading this new post-postmodern era of rap . Constantly challenging us to grow with him as his listeners , his music is profoundly complex ,enthralling and thought provoking. Once you really tap in the vibe is crazy too. As an artist he’s pressing buttons in you that you never knew existed .Each listen provides an opportunity to experience something new . From the production to the bars .which can be extremely uncomfortable as there’s a constant tension between what you expect to hear , what you want to hear and reconciling with what you end up hearing . On the surface at "first glance" he’s music can come across as abstract , dense or arbitrary .however wants you probe deeper over time just like a contemporary piece of art it subconsciously starts to click . On a technical level , the pockets , flows , cadences and rhyme schemes are just a gift that never stops giving . The uncanny delivery , relatability and vulnerability in his writing together with the bite sized nuggets of wisdom Is really what resonates the most. On the production he’s constantly making old shit sound new . (The time signatures , grooves And drum pockets >madness) The authentic universe that he’s created and given us access to is quite remarkable for someone that is yet to peak and only getting better with time. When it comes to art direction , marketing strategy and brand identity . He never misses . S/o to him and the team . They’re doing an amazing Job.
All year I'm talking to my friends about having that burning desire to do well in life, and my favourite artist goes and drops under that title, Amazing 👏🏾
I listened to this when it dropped... Listening to it again... Special... I am afraid to listen to it every day because I will get over it quick. I will see you next year, Burning Desire.
Man every since I saw MIKE at Earl show In 2019 I been a loyal fan. Been to every show whenever he in my city. Know all his albums. Dude really changed my perspective in music and life itself.

If you go back to “may God bless your hustle” to this project “burning desire”, you’d be amazed at how much Mike has matured and grown. I’m so happy for him. He deserves every success coming his way!
Love this. Just picking up on your album message in the description Mike. You say that you can't believe that people are still with you after 6/7 years. Literally so many people are only picking up and listening more and more with the more creative and driven you get. So you aren't keeping fans with you, you're making more and more! Luv this brother (Plus love the alarmed! video outside the Bohemians stadium)
Bruhhh!!! MIKE walked pass me in soho, mans is tall asf. I woulda said Im a huge fan, but he could’ve hit me with the big boot like Kane, but fam you a beast! love the art, keep on painting thru the pain.
I am the only one annoying the hell out of my neighbour by repeating 'Golden Hour' ad infinitum? This song is saving my life right now and giving me so much energy. I cannot wait until the 2nd November when MIKE comes to Manchester, UK! See you soon MIKE! Thank you for coming!!!
This is it right here. Production, lyrical content (bars), positivity, pro humanity (black people), messaging, it’s all here. Saw you last night at Brooklyn steel, sad you didn’t perform with Earl, but your set was insane. Looking forward to more bro.
Just a showcase of Mike's great production and infectious flows ... there's so many quotables on this record Mike delivery is so confident my fav song keeps changing by the minute I'm on my second listen and I love it BIG MIKEY ❤
"should be!" breaks my heart somehow lol... Okay... "Let's Have a Ball" is destroying me.. This is part of why I like MIKE lol... the beautiful trippy production and the soulful emotion. The fact he's an amazing lyricist on top of having an effortless flow.. wtf... how is MIKE real?

Bro this album is amazing
he’s tapped in to the unda if he got GAWD on the album
Might be his best yet too
@@PERKIODURKIO no cap bro. This is definitely his best. Beware of the monkey is a close contender though
This album feels like a wholesome hug that doesn't end.
Love this. ❤️🔥
bruhhhhh on everything i love i just said this
in a fucking wool jacket
This is a perfect description of MIKE in general, a special feeling
When I met him, he was the embodiment of that sentance
This is the best abstract hip-hop album since Earl Sweatshirt’s 2018 album “Some Rap Songs.” MIKE is New York’s best rapper right now.

MIKE constantly sounds like he's both falling asleep and waking up into a sick dream verse and I love it lol
MIKE has made my favorite rap album every single year for ages now, he has never missed period
I swear man
TRUUUEEEE
My boyfriend loves Mike so much and he recently put me on and I've been hooked ever. My life is completely changed and I'm in love with his music and artistry. I'm so grateful to my boyfriend for introducing me to real and amazing music.
He’s a real one!
well aint you 1 in a million LMFAO
the transition from "Do you believe?" to "burning desire" is just amazing bruh wtf
The whole vibe of this album is top tier. Perfect record for the fall weather
fall and winter, this hit different in winter
After a few listens.. dare I say, better than Voir Dire???
Without a doubt
In the last 3 years, each Mike drop has completely blessed and changed my life. For the better. Each damn drop. Thank you for this beautiful music. Ive really appreciated it.

This album is top notch from the production, to the lyricism, straight 🔥. Can't wait to see what MIKE puts out next
Might be too soon to say… but this has a strong chance of dethroning Disco! for me as my favorite MIKE album
"should be!" is absolutely insane. bravo MIKE!!!!!
He just keeps getting better, never heard a artist that I can play each album front to back with no skips
These beats paired with these visuals are so eerie
MIKE's an animal.😳 His catalogue is already very deep. My favorite at the moment 💯
GIVING THANKS TO THE MOST HIGH FOR GIVING ME EARS TO HEAR
If MIKE were to take a few years off of music, I wouldn’t even be mad.
He has absolutely SPOILED us and I couldn’t be thankful enough.

in the span of less than a year bro dropped two albums, a collab album, and hella features. legendary
