this is my mixEP, Ripple Cut 1: Assorted Indulgence.  quality over quantity, ya dig?  i have a few beats from Remot, one from my brother from another mother D. B.ILL & the rest are "industry" instrumentals.  

a running time of 34 minutes and some odd seconds....truly a labor of love, this took a long time, a lot of patience & frustration, but i hope you enjoy.  

Ripple Cut 1: Assorted Indulgence

Hip Hop

Depression

Mike Hope - Five

Professional Hobbyist is a ten track journey that examines a man who is a blue collar man by day and an emcee by night. The project highlights the struggles associated with vocation, educational goals, personal life and a time consuming hobby. I make it perfectly clear that I would rather make a living as an emcee as opposed to completing a Masters in Business Administration. The album features production from This Is Tomorrow, Manu Beats, LX-Beats, Skipless, Muneshine and more. BrainStormers crew mate, Dj Grazzhoppa, adds scratch hooks on three of the ten tracks including the title track. The project also boasts a feature from long time collaborator Don Streat.

the intro to the mixEP, Ripple Cut 1: Assorted Indulgence...it's not really a mixtape, can't really call it an album, it's definitely good music, so we'll just call it a mixEP.  

i like potato chips.  a lot.  i wanted to use them as a metaphor...and i was hungry.
