This April, hip hop fans were treated to the release of Sight Seeing, a compelling new album from Mikey G. and Wayde that marks a powerful return to form for Australian rapper Mikey G. The standout single, “Rose Petals,” is a smooth yet lyrically sharp track that captures the raw emotion and introspection that defines the project as a whole.
Growing up on the South-East Coast of Australia, Michael Alenaddaf—better known by his stage name Mikey G—was immersed in hip hop culture from a young age. Influenced early on by his older brother Daniel, Mikey began rapping at just four years old. By the age of six, he found himself performing on national television in front of judges like Kyle Sandilands on Australian Idol Kids in 2004.
After this early brush with fame, Mikey stepped back from the spotlight for a decade, taking time to explore other interests and mature as an artist and individual. During this hiatus, his love for music remained constant. Inspired in his early years by the likes of 50 Cent, Nas, Nelly, and Chingy, his teenage influences evolved to include heavyweights like Eminem, J. Cole, Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Drake. These artists would go on to shape the lyrical and emotional depth that characterizes Mikey’s music today.
Returning to music in his late teens, Mikey G reignited his passion through social media, sharing #4barfriday clips on Instagram that showcased his evolving flow, lyricism, and authenticity.
Now, Sight Seeing represents more than just a musical release—it’s a statement of growth, perseverance, and renewed ambition. Collaborating with Wayde, Mikey G delivers a project that’s sonically rich and deeply personal. “Rose Petals,” in particular, weaves themes of love, loss, and reflection over a soulful beat, blending smooth hooks with poignant bars that hit hard.
With Sight Seeing, Mikey G proves he’s not only back—but he’s here to stay.
