It's not very often a rapper delves deep inside them self to show their vulnerability on a track. Uncle Mix does just that. Accompanied by his son and daughter, Mix talks of his family and tough upbringing. With themes of abuse (drug, physical etc), murder and social services its a pretty grim tale, but Mix brings it together to make a brilliantly executed track.
The overlying message 'don't let them shoot your kite down' is a hopeful and inspirational one, especially in the midst of the tales of abuse and embodies who Uncle Mix is as a rapper. Also check out his 'Domestic Abuse PLA' entitled 'Freddies Dream' another harrowing story brought to life by Uncle Mix.
Instead of following the majority of UK rappers, Uncle Mix is walking in his own direction and we salute him for that. Only bad point? Altogether it has under 2,000 views (DPMO) this deserves atleast 20,000. Keep doing what your doing, Mix, and you'll go far.
