Noah Finds New Purpose, Knowledge, and Experiences on Debut Album 'Mirrors In A Mausoleum'
Everyone has a purpose, even if they're not conscious of it. Many people are fortunate to even discover that purpose, but one of the most fulfilling lives one can live is pursuing, thriving in, and enjoying one's passion. In twenty-five years of life, Noah is doing just that with an account of every experience he'd been through; happy or depressed, sheltered or homeless, fed or starving. All of these emotions and everyday ventures lead Noah to a vision he'd never seen before. An artistic, self-expressing notion of being a voice of reason for everyone who looks and feels like him on this floating rock. Now packaging twenty-five years' worth of thoughts and understandings together, Noah presents his debut album, Mirrors In A Mausoleum.
Mirrors In A Mausoleum is a cohesive expression of wisdom, empowerment, and talent from Noah. The intro, "Eden," sees Noah finding new life through music and lyricism, claiming to be "born again" and finding "more to live for" while cementing his poetical skills. Track two, "Breather," is a song asking for relief from life's constraints as Noah exclaims, "I think I need a breather...I think I need a day a no pain & a prayer so vain shit’ll ease up." Always standing out is Noah's ability to balance both painful and optimistic tones on songs like this, one that he finds himself exclusively delivering. Track four, "Two Worlds," stands out as an incredible two-part song covering flaunts, societal and family issues, and internal struggles. Track five, "Hell," is another two-piece that sews topics of fear, growth, inspiration, and reality in another undeniably impressive performance. "Life" shines a light on finding a balance and living years out with no regrets. Track nine, "Nintendo," gives us insight into a childhood where Noah saw drugs and violence, leading him to question the purpose of life at a young age and search for more comfortable days. "Revelations" is a pivot toward better times, where Noah lays lavish lyricism with an enticing flow. He speaks directly to his mom at the end, which becomes a recurring theme throughout the project as Noah hasn't been home for some time. The outro, "Casamigos," is a great finish to a great album, where Chris Patrick and Noah show a Shaq and Kobe-like chemistry for some serious wordplay.
Noah has had yet to disappoint, and this album just took all of those talents to the next level. Don't sleep on one of hip-hop's rising gems, and stream Mirrors In A Mausoleum below.
