There’s no neat roadmap through My Manic Maze, and that’s exactly the point. On his seven-track spoken word project, Mikey Tableman takes listeners inside the contradictions of the human mind, drawing from his own experiences with anxiety, depression, addiction, burnout, identity, recovery and hope. Produced and engineered by Jerry Lang and Nate Sounds and released through EQUATOR, the album blends spoken word, music and storytelling without trying to prescribe solutions.

Mad Skillz's GRAMMY-nominated album The Seven Number Ones is a captivating spoken word and poetry project.
