Watching the success of buddy Mike Posner over the last few months has been pretty crazy as well as exciting, and Mike deserves every bit of it (pay attention to his work ethic). You can pre-order the album 31 Minutes To Take Off via iTunes right now and receive the second single "Please Don't Go" immediately. The album is out August 10th!

I'm not a fan of George Lopez AT ALL but this is still a very cool thing for Mike.... I even got texts from Chicago when it aired.

I'm extremely proud of and happy for both Mike (Posner) and Jason (Beattie) for this... It was literally a year ago when Mike used to call me every day asking random ass questions and Jason (who directed this video) was the person that introduced us two. Talent and hard work definitely pay off...

Here's a few hardcore fans of Mike's... Craaaazy.

Duke basketball might've won a championship this year but this kid may just be the biggest name out of the 2010 graduating class from Durham, NC. I'm extremely proud of the dude... Congrats to Mike.

Mike Posner sits down with Complex for an exclusive interview. As a good friend of dF we're always glad to see the spotlight shined on him. Read the whole thing here. 

 

By now, many of you reading this should know who Mike Posner is.... It was about a year ago that we helped Mike put together his first official mixtape (and an exclusive SXSW performance at our Creme de la Creme showcase); a couple of months after that, dude signed with J Records (Sony/RCA) and continued on 'making hits' + building a loyal fan base. Since we started announcing our SXSW plans, I thought we'd go back in time for this clip... A year went by fast!

Very few people in the music game will garner repeated positives from me, considering that I tend to believe most musicians and creative types just don't work hard enough or appreciate the opportunities they're given.  With that said, our boy Mike Posner is the exception to that rule.  I mention his story in meetings (record labels, brands, agencies, ... etc) as well as speaking engagements/panels; Mike basically schools most young (and old) artists when it comes to talent + work ethic (he just graduated Duke EARLY too btw).

With that said, it's not a surprise that these kids go crazy over his songs/shows... Apparently a small riot ensued before Mike's show in Ketucky the other night; click here for details via Elitaste.

I still don't understand what some of these other artists do every day.  Work on your craft and when you think you deserve it work 3 times as much THEN email us.  If you're lazy or not focused, don't bother the world with crap....

Mike Posner continues his college tour as he puts the final touches to his debut album in episode 6 of his "One Foot Out the Door" series. If you didn't spend New Year's with us, you can easily find footage of Posner and Big Sean performing at The Roxy on Vimeo.
