Mitchell & The Dubs Cartel - I Can’t Find the Vibe 

Got a vape pen, dead again, battery fried
She said “You’re too old to be outside”
I said “Girl I paved the path you walk”
She rolled her eyes and hit me with a TikTok

Tried to chill at the beach with my boombox tunes
They called me “vintage,” said I “used cartoons”
I got Crocs on sport mode, socks up high
And apparently that means I wanna die?

I don’t get your slang, I’m lost in the mist
You got ten identities and an allergy list
You cancel a taco for cultural theft
But steal my vinyls like you pressed 'em yourself

I can’t find the vibe, it’s ghostin’ me
Gen Z’s got beef with my skinny jeans
I just wanna smoke and watch cartoons
But I’m too old for Discord, too young for The News

Yeah, I can’t find the vibe, it left the chat
Tried BeReal but I don’t post like that
I miss MySpace and AIM away signs
Now all I got is back pain and good rhymes

They got middle parts, we got receding lines
They pay for WiFi and complain online
I said “pull up,” they said “that’s sus”
And I’m the one who pays their Uber Plus

They ask for a sign, but I’m all outta zodiacs
I'm Capricorn rising, but I’m not your dad
I texted “K,” they said “that’s cold”
But I’m not mad, I’m just thirty years old

“Listen Gen Z... we love you... but you need a hug, a real one... not a virtual emoji sandwich... also, we invented memes. You’re welcome.”

I can’t find the vibe, it blocked my soul
Tried to Venmo my dealer, he said “Use Zelle, bro”
I still burn CDs like it’s ’03
They stream AI rappers with no melody

I can’t find the vibe, it’s lost in the feed
Too many filters, not enough weed
I’m just tryna roll with my tribe
But now I need two apps just to feel alive

I miss the days when vibes came free...
...and all you needed was a mixtape and iced tea.
(...and someone who didn’t ask your pronouns mid-sesh)

Born and bred in New York City, DJ and Producer Mitchell Frederick, has an untouchable skill for music. With a rich history in music theory and composition, his journey through sound began in childhood. Multi-talented with instruments like the violin, trombone, drums, piano, and bass guitar, the producer quickly learned that his natural ear could be used in a multitude of ways. But by the time he turned 13, he knew that becoming a producer and DJ was the perfect path.

Mitchell spent an entire year practicing on his first DJ setup, a pair of Technic 1200's and a Vestax mixer, and immediately launched himself onto the New York scene. With an unmatched persistence and love for the art, the musician has performed at some of the most exclusive and premiere venues across the country. Mitchell has also graced the crowds of Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, and Israel with his eclectic house beats. With two decades of professional music experience under his belt, nothing can stop Mitchell Frederick from a bright destiny. His unique style brings infectious energy to a crowd, and his one-of-a-kind demeanor is impossible to match.

“Music is not what I do, It’s who I am.” – DJ Jazzy Jeff
