Three everyday guys, delivering the message: try as hard as you can to reach your goals in life, Mike Apohen, Mike Kaing & Michael Ruiz are members of the Californian hip-hop collective ‘International Stats’. They hooked up during 2009, each being involved in music since around 2000 – freestyling, making beats and writing rhymes.

They’ve teamed up with UK producer Andy Wylie to drop their debut ‘One Way’. No matter what you do, people might love you, people might hate you, people might try to bring you down. We’ve all had experience of this in life, although the best bounce back and work hard until they succeed. “On fire”, “anthem”, “awesome” are but a few choice words that have been used in reviews of this track. Don’t sleep on this.
