Mikey Angelo’s Gen Z raps are so good TikTok banned him

This story was originally published on Passionfruit.

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.

“Imma block ‘em when they come like an IUD—” Angelo rap starts.

“No,” a TikTok user cuts him off in a stitched video. “I literally had to stop it. It’s too early. I’m not even ready for the rest.”
