Following the buzz of his recent single “Different Price” featuring Elcamino, M-Dot, and Che Noir, DJ Mirage returns with another heavyweight collaboration. His latest track, “Mirage,” showcases a dynamic lineup that bridges generations and geographies within Hip-Hop: Eto, Edo G, Masta Ace, and French turntable titan DJ Fly, a four-time World DMC Champion.
“Mirage” is the second release from DJ Mirage’s highly anticipated upcoming album. Where “Different Price” leaned into raw storytelling and gritty flows, “Mirage” takes listeners on a head-nodding lyrical journey rooted in golden-era boom bap, layered with modern grit and international flair.
Eto, known for his vivid street narratives and gravel-toned delivery, sets the tone early with a verse soaked in realism. He’s followed by Edo G, a Boston Hip-Hop pioneer whose cadence and knowledge reflect decades of experience in the game. Then comes Masta Ace, the Juice Crew alum and lyrical technician, who proves once again that age is irrelevant when it comes to skill. Wrapping it all together is DJ Fly, whose razor-sharp cuts and turntablism add an authentic, competitive edge to the production.
DJ Mirage curates a sound that respects the roots while inviting in fresh perspectives. The beat rides with nostalgic vinyl crackle, crisp drums, and a loop that evokes the hazy illusion the title suggests—“Mirage” isn’t just a name; it’s a layered metaphor woven through the track’s tone and wordplay.
This single reinforces DJ Mirage’s vision as a producer who isn’t just chasing features but crafting full-bodied records that balance lyricism, sound design, and cultural homage. With two solid singles already out, anticipation for the full album is building steadily within the underground and classic Hip-Hop circles.
If “Different Price” opened the door, “Mirage” kicks it wide open, setting the stage for what could be one of the most carefully curated Hip-Hop producer albums of the year.
