"Jealousy" is the first taste of new music from Posner since he embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime climb of Mount Everest, to raise money via a
GoFundMe page for
The Detroit Justice Center (DJC), a non-profit law firm working alongside communities to create economic opportunities, transform the justice system, and promote equitable and just cities. A Detroit native himself, Posner's father Jon, who passed away in 2017, served as a criminal defense attorney in Detroit for 40 years, making this cause all the more important to Mike.

Mount Everest rises to an elevation of more than 29,000 feet and is located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas, between Nepal and China. Having spent the last year in intensive high altitude training in Colorado, Posner is currently in the midst of the daring climb, which he revealed details on CBS This Morning. Watch the full interview
HERE.
Speaking about the endeavor, Posner reveals, "While my walk across America was about me finding myself, I want my climb to be about others. Before my dad died, he was a criminal defense attorney in Detroit for 40 years. I've decided to dedicate my climb to the Detroit Justice Center because they're doing criminal justice reform work in my city that would make my dad beam with joy."
Earlier this year, he released his track, "
Momma Always Told Me" feat. Stanaj and Yung Bae, marking a new chapter for the Detroit-born and raised artist and philanthropist, who in 2019 famously walked across America. More recently, Posner closed 2020 with the surprise release of his 36-minute rap-opera Operation: Wake Up, which he used to highlight the struggles of mental illness and suicide ideation.
