2017
SMOKE AND MIRRORS
Smoke And Mirrors names the game directly — the illusions, the industry smoke screens, the false promises dressed up as opportunity. Mack Heath had seen enough by 2017 to call it what it was.
Lyrically the sharpest of the 2017 records. Production that creates atmosphere without losing the edge. The smoke isn't confusion — it's cover. And Mack Heath was moving through it.
Smoke and mirrors, that's all they ever show
Dress it up in lights so you won't see what's below
I seen through the trick a long, long time ago
No illusions left — just the work and the flow
