POTOK PHILIPPE HAS A NEW ALBUM RELEASING SOON FEATURING ONE OF HIS MOST ANTICIPATED SINGLES “BELIEVE IN ME”
Potok Philippe is a Canadian songwriter and artist. At a very young age he had realized he wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. It was shortly after he graduated from University and experimenting with different business ventures that he saw his own potential. He knew he had a talent he could share with the world. Having such a great support system from his close friends and family members made following his passion a smooth transition. Potok Philippe became quite comfortable with being in the spotlight and began to crave it. In his mid 20s music became his full time job. He began seeking connections within the industry that could aid in his career, thus finding many recording studios in the city to network and create in.
After creating for a few years he finally tapped into his true sound. His music is unique as it comes straight from his heart. He speaks on real-life experiences and tells his own story with his music. He states “I find my voice to be my greatest tool for articulating my emotions, so what Isn’t unique about me?” Potok has had to develop social skills and shift with the ever changing industry to help him effectively. Since finding his sound he has been creating mainstream quality content such as his newest single “BeLIEve In Me”.
This record is dedicated to a woman that Potok had old relations with. They are no longer together. The song channels his emotional state during his life at the time of their breakup. This was a difficult time in his life that reflects clearly on the record. Potok is also working on other projects as well as re-releasing some of his older content. Now that he has found his true sound his goal is to reconstruct some of his songs from before. His upcoming album “Let It Burn” has been a work in progress for a little over a year. This album is an amalgamation of his last 2 years spent in limbo pondering his musical aspirations and deciding to further his desire to be an artist. His newest single “BeLIEve In me” is set to release this June.
The underground hip-hop world thrives on authenticity, and MAD Mike’s latest solo release, Root of All Evil, embodies that spirit completely. Dropping under Lost Soul Productions, the project delivers a heavy dose of raw lyricism, unflinching honesty, and dark, unrelenting production that makes it one of the most striking underground albums of the year.Featuring a roster of underground mainstays including NEMS, Lex the Hex Master, Mr. Hyde, Termanology, and Roc, the album doesn’t just lean on big names. Instead, each collaboration was carefully curated to match energy, tone, and purpose.Every feature feels organic, like a natural extension of the story Mike is telling, adding depth to the overall body of work.
At the heart of Root of All Evil lies the chemistry between MAD Mike and producer C-Lance, who provides a sonic backdrop drenched in dark atmospheres and metal-inspired grit. Their creative partnership, sharpened over multiple projects, has reached new heights here. With Albert Charlemagne’s mixing and mastering at Brooklyn Dragon’s Lair tying it all together, the result is a record that’s as sharp sonically as it is lyrically devastating.Thematically, the album pushes beyond MAD Mike’s earlier Nature of the Beast. Where that project explored demons within, this one confronts them head-on, using the framework of the seven deadly sins to reflect on cycles of trauma, broken family ties, and toxic relationships. It’s an album that doesn’t shy away from pain but instead transforms it into something cathartic and empowering.What makes MAD Mike stand apart in the horror-core lane is his ability to channel vulnerability through aggression. His guttural screams and fire-forged delivery aren’t gimmicks—they’re survival. The darkness in his music isn’t for shock value, but a way to turn suffering into strength and connection, echoing the legacy of artists like Tech N9ne and Ill Bill.With Root of All Evil now out, MAD Mike shows no signs of slowing down. More solo work is already on the horizon, promising an edgier, rock-infused direction, while new Dual Diagnosis music is also on the way. For fans of underground hip-hop that demands attention, Root of All Evil is more than just an album—it’s a declaration, a release, and a reminder that the underground is still alive with voices unafraid to bare it all.“This album is about breaking toxic cycles and turning pain into power,” says Mike.With steel-forged beats from C-Lance and the razor-sharp mix from Albert Charlemagne, Root of All Evil cements MAD Mike as one of the most unflinching voices in underground hip-hop.Tracklist Highlights:
- Blasphemy (feat. Lex the Hex Master)
- Shed Blood (feat. Mr. Hyde)
- You Can Get It (feat. NEMS | prod. The Arcitype)
- Blood Squirt Fever (feat. Roc)
- Cuttin’ Da Chain (feat. Termanology)
