Hazy Thoughts is a tune that most of us can relate to. From feeling confused about what we want or need in life to simply searching for peace. We all have hazy thoughts about it all. “Thinking ‘bout the things I didn’t do… Light the joint then things get simple.” How do you escape the hardships of life? The laziness in his voice compliments his lyrics. Feeling hazy. His feelings of detachment from conversation and wanting to escape through the use of alcohol and weed, puts us directly in Missingno mind. Sometimes all it takes is to listen. Listen to what the other person is attempting to convey. We all can relate to each other in one way or another. Great song writing.
Production on the track is catchy. Produced by Atlanta-based producer, Last Atlantis. The slow pick up as the song progresses is cool and just a pure beat. No sampling. That is hard to come across these days. Missingno knew this beat was, “right up my alley.”
Delivery. Although, wonderful song writing and producing, Missingno flow is not very appealing on this particular track. The choppiness in his delivery does not flow too easily. Maybe it’s the singing/rapping aspect that throws it off a little but still worth a listen.
Missingno is an Akron alternative Hip Hop artist who finds inspiration from everyday life. His name originates from the “original Pokemon games from the 90’s,” says the MC. “A glitch that stands for missing number.
If you would like to catch Missingno, you can find him this August 3rd at the Dayton Art city festival.
