Not many hip-hop musicians can say that they began their career as a college baseball player, but Mike Stud was one of the talented few and won a Louisville Slugger scholarship to attend Duke University. After injuring his arm during his sophomore year he began writing rap lyrics resulting in a song entitled "College Humor." A YouTube video was created (which racked up 1.5 views) and paved the way for his next video "In This Life" featuring an appearance by Loggy and was followed by A Toast To Tommy a mix tape that rose to #2 on the iTunes Hip-Hop charts followed by Relief in 2013. Stud soon signed to Atlantic Records' 300 Entertainment imprint and released Closer in 2014. Closer hit #13 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and #2 on the R&B Hip Hop chart.

These Days is available on iTunes and Spotify.
