By day, Mike Posner is a typical college student at Duke University, but at night the Southfield native trades his books for beats. The 21-year-old junior and his band, The Brain Trust, released their DJ Benzi and Don Cannon-hosted mixtape A Matter of Time in March and held the coveted #1 free download on iTunesU. For many, the idea of living such an active life and juggling classes is intimidating, but with the school supporting him, Mike Posner can only seize the opportunity. The not quite Hip Hop artist traveled to Austin, Tex. last month to perform at one of the nation’s largest music festivals, South By Southwest.
In an interview with MichiganHipHop, he talks about G.O.O.D. Music signee and Finally Famous brethren Big Sean, how The Brain Trust came to be and his Detroit homecoming.
