Beats of Resurrection: Justin Mitchell’s ‘The Reset EP’ Is a Masterclass in Holy Reinvention

There comes a moment in every believer’s journey when the old wineskin must be set aside, when the name you’ve carried no longer fits the calling God has placed within you—and for Justin Mitchell, that moment has crystallized into five tracks of stunning hip-hop authenticity titled The Reset EP. More than a mere collection of songs, this project represents a spiritual landmark, a public declaration that the God who makes all things new isn’t finished with any of us yet. Shedding a former musical alias like winter clothes giving way to spring, Mitchell steps boldly into his own name and his own skin, weaving gritty East Coast textures with the kind of faith that doesn’t perform for approval but breathes because it cannot help itself. This is not background music for casual listening; this is the soundtrack of a soul refusing to let the world define its rhythms, a man stripping away every external pressure until only Jesus remains at the center.

From the cinematic invocation of “Won’t Let Go” to the thematic anchor of “Destiny” in both its forms, The Reset walks listeners through the sacred process of realignment—that uncomfortable yet glorious work of the Spirit that reorders our passions, our careers, our very identities around the unchanging character of God. When Mitchell teams with D.Faith on “How I Do It” to answer the perpetual question of why artists of faith create, the response isn’t defensive posturing but confidence born of divine appointment. The bar-heavy collaboration “TAWK” with Selah The Corner crackles with the electricity of believers who have discovered that boldness and humility can coexist in the same breath. Throughout every beat and every rhyme, Mitchell refuses the temptation to manufacture religiosity, offering instead the raw material of authentic encounter: transparency about uncertainty, perseverance through unseen valleys, and the quiet surrender that comes when we finally trust God’s direction more than our own understanding. In a genre often tempted toward either imitation or isolation, Justin Mitchell has built something rare—a reset that feels less like starting over and more like finally becoming who you always were.
