Detroit, Michigan emcee/producer Miz Korona returning after 3 & a half years with her 3rd EP. Releasing her debut album The Injection in 2010 produced by Chanes, she would return a decade later dropping her first EP The Virus during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic followed by The Healer & The Heartbreaker approximately 24 months later. Coinciding with her born day however, she’s releasing …I Forgive Me on her Bandcamp almost entirely producing the whole thing by herself except for the halfway point.
“Echoes of My Heart” featuring Neco Redd takes 3 & a half minutes to give everybody glimpses of their hearts real quick over a summery guitar instrumental whereas the title track asks God for self-forgiveness. “Space” takes the boom bap route stylistically feeling like she’s flying in a spaceship while “Last Goodbye” soulfully gets in her storytelling bag.
I felt threat “Melody of the Sun” was a highlight even for a single coming right out the gate back in her lane over more boom bap production & “Weather the Storm” featuring Na Bonsai & Neco Redd finishes with a stylistic departure from hip hop in favor over singing about nobody else being able to hold you down except yourself.
Said to be releasing a sequel EP called Travel in Peace dedicated to her mother later this weekend, Miz Korona celebrates her birthday with a more introspective side to herself than some of her previous material guaranteed to take itself further on Sunday & her growth as a producer since she made her first beat in the summer of 2021 is another key takeaway from it.
Score: 8/10
