Mr. Miranda "Let's Get On With The Music"

I know I haven't been updating this blog much lately but I haven't been inspired. I could go on and on on that subject so down to business...

The homie Mr. Miranda has a brand new album for you suckers!




If you enjoy albums that you can listen to all the way through than this one is for you. Mr. Miranda's beat selection (all Produced by Jimmy Nelson) has a lot of soul to them and one track in particular (my favorite one on the album) track number 7, "Something Happens" even has a sample from 80's new wave but sounds soulful after Jimmy Nelson (the Producer of the whole album) chops it up, breaks it down and puts it back together. As far as Mr. Miranda's emcee skills, if you enjoy multi-syllable rhyme schemes and patterns, story tracks and lots of sick wordplay than this guy will fit right into your collection of dope hip hop.
This album lacks one thing, a bunch of unnecessary collaboration songs. The album only features 3 different artists aside from Jimmy Nelson and Mr. Miranda. Some how Mr. Miranda got Jaz-O to lend a verse on track 6, "The Game Plan", you know, that one guy that helped get Jay-Z's foot in the door. The song with Jaz-O has a DJ Premier feel to it with scratching on the hook reminiscent of good hip hop music. The title speaks for itself ("The Game Plan") its basically Mr. Miranda breaking down his worth ethic on you. He also has a track with my other homie James Ciphurphace reprsentin' the Land of Two Suns (Tucson, AZ) on track 12, "Don't Wanna Lose Your Love" about how you don't want to forget about why we make music and not sellin' out. Last but not least he has Dina Lopez drop some hypnotic singing vocals over track 14, "Teena" a track about a young single gully mother who does what she has to do to survive.
Even though Mr. Miranda was raised in the streets of Phoenix, AZ in the Southwest region of the country he has a sound reminiscent of 90's Eastcoast hip hop with the thought progression of the 2000's. If you still aren't sold on this album track number 13, "The Kick Off" should close the deal. It all includes wordplay of different sneaker brands involved in a bank robbery. Crazy right? It's like if you took GZA's "Labels" off of Liquid Swords and mixed it with Dead Prez's "Animal Farm" off of "Let's Get Free" and Big L's "The Heist" you'd get "The Kick Off".
