MAVI
\nLet the Sun Talk
\n<\/i>(Independent)
\n4\/5<\/p>\n

While some artists benefit from high-budget production, Charlotte, North Carolina rapper MAVI thrives on skeletal, sample-heavy beats that allow his non-linear flow and sharp lyricism to shine through. When he\u2019s not studying neuroscience at Howard University, MAVI constructs insightful songs detailing stories of human experience and understanding his identity as a Black artist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Earl-Sweatshirt-produced track \u201cSense\u201d sees MAVI discuss procrastinating on doing his school work and praising his own writing abilities. \u201cSense\u201d is the album\u2019s most confident-sounding track and showcases MAVI\u2019s youthful charm. \u201cGhost (In the Shell)\u201d is by far the record\u2019s most hard-hitting song, as MAVI speaks bluntly about family trauma and health struggles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Choruses are almost non-existent on this album, and samples are an essential piece to each song.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MAVI has a charming charisma alongside punchy off-kilter flows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
