MIKE: Beware of the Monkey [10k]
Beware of the Monkey takes its name from the Chinese calendar, and a horoscope that MIKE interpreted as a warning about the future. The follow-up to last year’s wonderful Disco! was led by the singles “Nuthin I Can Do Is Wrng,” “What Do I Do?,” and “Stop Worry!,” featuring the dancehall legend Sister Nancy. Additional guests on the album include longtime MIKE collaborators Jadasea and King Carter.
