MIRK - Beautiful
Artist: MIRK
Featuring: Mr. Cheeks
Producer: MIRK
Album: GRIND / Fame-ish
Label: Foster House Records
I could break down everything about first time The DJBooth featurees MIRK. I could name each of the band’s seven members, and mention that frontman and producer Josh “Mirk” Mirsky first got his start selling his Crispy Benjamins track to Jay-Z, but ultimately all that matters is that the hip-hop powerhouse group makes some truly Beautiful music. In true live instrument hip-hop fashion, Beautiful is built around a strong drum line (Stephen) locked in with a rolling bass line (Kate) and topped off with edgy guitar work (Mike), driving key work (Andy) and brassy sax playing (Chris). Beautiful’s human element is provided by Josh, who kicks off the festivities with some conversational rhymes, Tara’s soaring vocals and a laid back guest verse from the Lost Boyz vet Mr. Cheeks. (Pats self on back for working in every member of MIRK.) Is there really anything more Beautiful than that many people coming together to make dope hip-hop? That was a rhetorical question – no there’s not. Those feeling similarly won over should cop the crew’s Fame-ish mixtape when it drops tomorrow, followed by the March arrival of their GRIND full-length album.

Nobody can touch the Roots when it comes to live band hip hop, but MIRK really surprises here. This joint is catchy, enjoyable both under head phones and I assume in front of the band on stage, and a nice introduction before the release of their new tape and album.

I like MIRK's unenthusiastic type flow on this beat. The beat matches the overall feel of the track. It's great to hear Mr. Cheeks again on here. I like his delivery too for this..definitely something different for him...

MIRK is truly "Beautiful Music" the whole band is just full of this positive, live energy & sound we need in today's music industry. We've had the pleasure of seeing them perform on a couple of memorable occasions & all we will say is... Be ready when you experience MIRK live in concert. You will learn to appreciate music all over again. Peace! -A
