Even with the purest intentions, all destinations come riddled with guilt
Through every decision to attain ascension, it’s easy to find
No true accomplishment comes untethered
The further I reach the more I find
With every attempt
I lose myself deep into the abyss
Still I travel
Tossed and thrown
The road to hell is paved in plight
Laid to rest and set in gold

The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions is the embodiment of Mike’s journey thus far. With a steady rise in popularity, many doors began to open for the group. Yet with that, many sacrifices were made to fully embrace the new lifestyle. This album highlights the weight of those decisions in a genre blend of punk rock, trap soul, and party bounce raps. Opening the album, “Do or Die” is a punk inspired rage with a chorus that fits more like a proverb than a hook. Diverging all of the many ideas across the entire project into the words “fame do or die, blame you and I, looking like the same you and I, so we both gonna die”. From there, Mike builds new emotions in each track, highlighting the decisions, attitudes, and thoughts that got him to where he is now. Then ending the album with a summation of the ideologies in the song “NASA (Coming Down)”, an autune heavy ballad about the acknowledgment that greatness always comes with a price, we gain further insight into the theme in that sometimes that price paid for success is at the come down. Creating a world of disarray all from the choices we make, we see not all good intended decisions lead to the road best traveled.
