Welcome to the Afterfuture in 2000 is a testament to his highly personal musical vision.

Nostalgialator (2004), Negrophilia: The Album (2005), Father Divine (2005), and The Storm (2006) built an unblemished reputation for their author. Now living in Paris, where he teaches English, Mike Ladd released Kids and Animals in 2011, still at the cutting edge of the rap avant-garde.
