'''The Flight''' is the second album by the [[Mike's Birthday Bash (group)|Mike's Birthday Bash group]], released on March 29, 2025. The album expands on the absurdist lore and surreal in-jokes established in their debut, ''[[Super Critters]]'', incorporating inside jokes, fake companies, and cryptic references. It is named after an elaborate bit in which Lime and Lem gaslit Hexfate into believing Lime was flying to Washington to meet her. 

== Concept ==
''The Flight'' centers loosely around the fictional airline '''MixMyFlights''', a parody of real-world music service MixMyPart.com, founded by [[Andrew St. Hilaire]]. The album serves as a journey through a surreal flight. The lore of the "Flight 221 Explosion" and the deeper mystery of MixMyFlights is explored further in the unreleased The Flight Movie.

== Track Listing ==
# '''The Flight''' – Featuring a bizarre and explicit verse by lil herb. Includes themes of plane bathrooms, turbulence, and fame.  
# '''YUMMY''' – A previously unreleased track created during the making of ''Super Critters'', repurposed for this album.
# '''MixMyFlights''' – Hexfate performs an in-character flight safety announcement for the fake MixMyFlights airline.
# '''pErcocets''' – teesuper raps about putting Hexfate “on a Perc.” A chaotic spiritual successor to “pASt.” Purely satirical; Hexfate does not do drugs.
# '''Who’s this''' – Originally featured an edited audio, replaced with “I am Hexfate.”
# '''Baggage Claim''' – A filler-yet-funny track with teesuper freestyling about airport luggage.
# '''Welcome to Vegas''' – LimeKingVR raps about gambling in Vegas. Features an in-song fight between Traceful and Lime, ending in Lime winning back all her money after a final gamble.
