Mike Dreams
According to demographers, millennials are web-savvy, naturally self-confident and independent, all traits that definitely apply to Mike Dreams. The Minneapolis rapper, 23, has been a prolific MC-in-waiting for a few years now like his pal, MaLLy, and the wait seems to be over with his breakthrough third album, “Millennial.” Tracks range from the must-hear jungly rocker “The Lights, The Life” to the gospel-roused “In the Sky” to the dramatic Kanye-like epic “We the Ones,” one of several songs that address his generational peers. Says the real-life Michael Hannah in the latter cut, “I don’t have to sell crack, that’s what this CD’s for.” It’s genuinely addictive stuff. MaLLy hosts his release party with Maria Isa, Allan Kingdom, K. Raydio and more. Chris Riemenschneider
