2 min read
Mic Familiar, the talented rapper, has teamed up with the Chicago-based producer blackdaylight for their recent release, “Hard Phased.” This song takes you on a ride through blackdaylight’s mysterious beats and Mic Familiar’s deep, thought-provoking lyrics. It’s a good listen for those who appreciate abstract and experimental hip-hop.
Mic Familiar handles all the lyrics and vocals, while blackdaylight is the genius behind the beats and production. They first crossed paths in the early days of Tumblr, even before Yahoo took over. Mic Familiar was immediately drawn to blackdaylight’s unique production style and decided to reach out. They believed their styles would complement each other perfectly, and they were right. Blackdaylight’s music creates a backdrop that transports Mic Familiar’s lyrics to another dimension.
Their main influences include some heavy hitters in the hip-hop world like Tech N9ne, Aesop Rock, El-P, Mos Def, Atmosphere, Del The Funky Homosapien, and Eyedea and Abilities. You can hear these influences subtly woven into their music. “Hard Phased” was recorded and produced in the comfort of their own bedrooms, which is pretty impressive given the quality of the track.
Moving in to the lyrics, Mic Familiar goes deeply into complex issues in “Hard Phased,” including existentialism, a crisis of meaning, race, cynicism, the overwhelming age of information, and corruption. The song’s lyrics depict a person struggling with life’s and society’s complexities. Lines like “Star gazed and crippled across phased, Keeping the love like that’s what they all say, Wanna pray, Nothing’s safe, They’re deranged, what’s the matter?” express a feeling of dissociation and feeling alienated. “All love is fair play” speaks of an imperfect world where both love and justice are in short supply. It’s a song that inspires listeners to think on the state of the world and their place in it.
“Hard Phased” is a song that challenges you to think and feel deeply, all while jamming to blackdaylight’s amazing beats. It shows how powerful hip-hop is as a platform that can be used to express complex ideas and emotions. Mic Familiar and blackdaylight have created something truly unique here, and it’s definitely worth a listen for anyone who craves music that pushes boundaries and stimulates the mind.
