With the release of the single “Are You Real?“, Mic G presents a passionately spit and emotive single that delves steeply into themes of authenticity, self-doubt, and the unfiltered realities of life.
Representing Massachusetts, Mic masterfully employs techniques like repetitive questioning and imagery to touch on topics related to trauma, dreams, heaven, and self-doubt, in lines like “Heaven’s in my dreams so why’s it feel so far from reach.” His lyrics paint a picture of feeling trapped in stress-out situation due to a string of personal life happenings. Yet, a glint of optimism surfaces near the end with a hint towards wanting closure.
The mid-tempo headnod beat, produced by Statik Selektah, delivers a late 90s, Rawkus-era boom-bap sound, accompanied by jazzy melodies and punchy, lo-fi drums. That well-loved sound, paired with Mic G‘s passionate flow and introspective delivery, make this single a memorable addition to his repertoire, following his previous work on “See Food“ and “Yellow Lines“.
