Feeling Good – In The Buff

Posted by MykeCharles On February - 20 - 2012

Sup tho,

For those who don’t know, I was in a college A Cappella group called In The Buff for four years. you can check them out here:

http://www.inthebuff.org/

This past weekend In The Buff celebrated their 18th Birthday. The alums came back and we watched the current members perform and took the stage with them for a couple of songs. In honor of In The Buff and our 18th birthday I am releasing a song from our last studio album, “LIVE From The Ambassador’s Hot Tub”

Without further adieu, here is, “Feeling Good”, a cover song that I sang when I was an active member of the group.

Lotus Flower Bomb (Freestyle)

Posted by MykeCharles On January - 2 - 2012

Sup tho,

Today is the first day of Myke Charles Mondays! A lot of people were saying they are going to miss seeing and hearing from me every Monday since The Sing-Off is over, so I decided to release something for my supporters every Monday until my mixtape drops in January.

Here we are. For this first Monday I’m releasing a short video of me doing a freestyle track over Wale ft. Miguel’s “Lotus Flower Bomb”. My inspiration for the verse was how a woman (or parts of a woman) can be personified through a flower so I tried using word play and extended metaphor in the verse. Shout out to Wale and Miguel for killing the original. Hope y’all dig it. Look for me in the sky. Stay up.

CO’s pretty boy,

Plan B

Posted by MykeCharles On January - 2 - 2012

Sup tho,

It’s round 2 of Myke Charles Monday’s and it is also my birthday. I’m a quarter. Anyway, today I present a song and a video by the name of “Plan B”.

I must warn you that this video may not be for the feint of heart and I apologize to anyone who finds it offensive or particularly disturbing. This is my art and the video portrays the extremes of the emotions I feel in the song.

I hope you enjoy. To those giving continued support. I thank you.

Stay up,

Hotel Confessions

Posted by MykeCharles On October - 18 - 2011

What up though,

“At this juncture on the Sing-Off we’ve been living in a hotel for 5 weeks. It’s been an interesting experience to say the least. When all of these corridors begin to blend together and harbor your emotions, you begin to disconnect from the outside world and lose touch with aspects of your life that were once important. If these walls could talk…During these five week I have been so focused on The Sing-Off  that I haven’t been able to write any of my own music. The pressure of the competition hasn’t allowed me to channel any energy into anything but living and breathing The Sing-Off. Until now…”

 

I wrote this song during my time in the hotel that I called home during my Sing-Off experience. It’s a hip-hop song that documents the nostalgia and unease I begin to feel living in a hotel. These emotions are manifested through a past and current (or what was current) relationship. When I write songs I give you my life and experiences through a very honest and raw scope. This is Hotel Confessions. Enjoy.
