BLVK Mirror has a backing beat that is influenced by J Dilla, while the lyrical complexities laid down by Tyson onBEATS ensure that listeners will have to play this track multiple times before hearing each call out and literary reference. I’d compare these bars to Joyce’s Ulysses; for every mainstream mention (e.g. W.E.B. DuBois, Newton), there are five to ten call-backs that one will need to search out. This is a fantastic way of doing things, as Tyson onBEATS ensures that fans will become more knowledgeable about the struggle. In an era where so many tracks are done just to briefly dull the pain of reality, BLVK mirror seeks to bring knowledge.
