Padre Tóxico & Mike Mitch – Alive [Single + Video]

Mike Mitch kicks off “Alive” with a flow that’s more like a low-key conversation than a full-on rap attack. His rhymes come through with a seasoned voice where each lines brings more understanding as he speaks. Every line comes with a quiet wisdom, unfolding at a measured pace. “One foot in front the other/ I can’t give up I can’t lose faith/ I can lose it all if I do it/ This a time to be alive…” he repeats, guiding himself and the listener through whatever life throws at him. It’s not about flashy metaphors or over-the-top wordplay; it’s about speaking straight from the chest in a way that feels honest and close.

The beat Padre Tóxico lays down gives all that introspection room to breathe. It’s a mix of soft, chopped piano chords and airy strings, cut up in a way that feels loose and unhurried, like it’s just floating along with Mitch ’s thoughts. There’s a laid-back static to the production, a kind of hazy, jazz-hop vibe that doesn’t rush you—but doesn’t lull you sleep either. Even when the drums come in, they do so in an easy way, like they’re there to spark up something in you, not push you along.

And the way the sound filters in an out, sometimes heavy on the low end, sometimes light like piano jazz-based chillhop, creates this sense of movement without a lot of noise. Padre Tóxico paints with broad strokes but keeps t all within the lines and never lets one sound overpower another. The subtlety keeps you tuned into what Mike Mitch  is saying, which is exactly the point.

The video keeps that momentum going as it pushes you further and further down that reflective road. Shot in one continuous take, it follows Mike as he walks through Harlem, his rhymes appearing on screen like passing thoughts. There’s nothing flashy here, just him and his words against a backdrop of city life. It’s simple, unforced, and somehow makes everything he says feel a bit more grounded, more real. The vibe of “Alive” is about slowing down, breathing, and finding meaning in the everyday, with Padre Tóxico and Mike Mitch  guiding the way.
