Mike King, also known as Michael Idoro, brings a personal message to his new four-track EP, No Bad Energy. The Nigerian artist and producer blends Afropop, Afrobeat and alternative sounds while staying close to the themes that have shaped much of his music: love, relationships and everyday life. But this project carries something more personal, with its title reflecting his decision to stay focused, hold on to his faith and keep negativity at a distance.
The loss of his father in 2026 brought a new level of family responsibility into his life. Rather than allowing difficult circumstances to define him, Mike’s outlook is centred on resilience and moving forward. His words, “I believe in God, and I still choose to keep going,” capture the spirit behind the project and give the title a deeper meaning.
The EP opens with “My World,” produced by Nolimit, followed by “Forever,” featuring Twest and also produced by Nolimit. “Popp” and “My Woman” complete the tracklist, with both produced by Mike King and High Priest. These last two songs have already gained television exposure, with their official music videos receiving airplay on Nigerian platforms including Hip TV, Soundcity and MTV Base.
Across its four tracks, No Bad Energy brings together Mike’s musical interests and personal outlook. His recent travels to Ghana and South Africa have also given him fresh perspectives, adding to a year of change and reflection. Ultimately, this is a project built around love, faith and the determination to keep moving forward without making room for negativity.
