Mike Shinoda has always been considered one of the most talented musicians of the modern era — someone who can rap, sing, produce and play live instruments. The Linkin Park member has had success with his side project Fort Minor in the past but tonight, he has released his official solo debut album Post Traumatic.
Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington’s July 2017 suicide at age 41 shocked the group’s fan base and the music community as a whole but Mike is looking to look beyond the sadness with his solo music. The album’s title Post Traumatic explains a lot. On the project, the 41 year old artist is bringing varied sounds as he experiments with both rapping and singing — something that the Linkin Park and Fort Minor fans are quite familiar with.
The 16 song album featuring guest appearances from blackbear, K. Flay, Machine Gun Kelly and more, is out now everywhere. Stream it below. Mike has already released music videos for various songs on the album, including ‘Ghosts‘, ‘Running From My Shadow‘, ‘About You‘ and more.
