Mirakle - "The Plan EP" (Prod. by Fshstk)

We are really excited to announce Mirakle's latest release in a while — titled "The Plan" — which is a collaborative effort with one of afromullets' own producers fshstk. While this is the Mirakle's third EP, it is the first one featuring original production.

"The Plan" is a showcase of Mirakle's lyrical prowess and knack for vivid imagery. However, what struck me the most was the honesty in his lyrics of dealing with the struggles as an up and coming rapper. The first track "Get Your Guap Up" is about the endless riches that are there for the taking: "Get money, play shows, big crib, fast cars…" However, the reality is far from this where the track starts of with a brutally honest confessions of missed chances, lethargy and the fear of failure: "you run away from everything like you a wanted man".

While these are harsh truths, the good thing for us is that it looks like Mirakle has gotten his shit together and is tackling each of his supposed insecurities track by track. "The Plan" follows a loose narrative of the trials and tribulations on the rapper's road to success. While it may start off with a bleak outlook, a few tracks down, he is bubbling with confidence and is sure that he has made the right decisions in the track "Every Day": "I used to want to be a diplomat, then I bumped 'The Diplomats' I became a different cat, what can I say / I almost spent my life on some office shit, I'm so glad I'm off that shit, now I rhyme everyday."

To avoid any other spoilers, I'll let you follow Mirakle's journey on "The Plan" yourself. As far as the production goes, fshstk serves up a range of heaters in a multiple range of styles and genres with his signature touch of the jazz piano. A real guilty pleasure treat can be found in 'Outro' which is a banging footwork re-work of the first track.

A music video for the track "Like This" has also been released on Left Boy's MADE JOUR LABEL channel.

All in all, this is a solid release and a pleasure to listen to. Mirakle will be touring and performing with Left Boy on the Permanent Party tour starting March 10th 2014.
