Mikey Angelo writes bars that will leave you speechless. The 23-year-old has a near-encyclopedic knowledge of contemporary pop and internet culture—in his words, he’s a “sponge to the culture”—and uses it to create raps that leave millions of TikTok users gobsmacked. For example: This reaction to one of his recent videos.
