Mike "Whyte Mic" Oliver is a Hip Hop/Spoken Word artist from Waldorf, Md. He grew up an hour away in Lexington Park, Md. Mike has been in the game for over a decade, writing songs for 9 years, poetry for 4 years, and also started writing his first book.
 
Mike started rapping and battling in the lunch room of his high school at age 14. He received attention for his lyrical gift which led him to learn more about the craft. As he searched deeper into the business side of music, he fell in love with the art and history.
 
Whyte Mic has a goal of not to only take his county or state by storm but the world. He also wants everyone to know who Mike Oliver is as a man. With his slogan, "I NEEDS MINE", Mike wants people to see that its not just a slogan but his lifestyle.
 
Now that he has perfected his style, Mike believes more fans will be able to relate to his lyrics. When asked about his lyrical content, his response was "I write serious songs to touch ones heart and stories that may be fictional but someone knows someone going through that very situation. Also party/club songs to keep you dancing and having a good time. And from the soft gentleman side of myself, I write about how to treat a woman."
 
Mike Oliver believes there is nothing that he cant do or talk about. His philosophy remains, whether its his song or not, he still hasn't written his best 16 bars. The best is yet to come from Whyte Mic.
