MAVI Looks Inward on ‘shadowbox’

by

As a seasoned gamer with an ear for raw, introspective hip-hop, I’ve had the pleasure of immersing myself in MAVI’s latest masterpiece, “shadowbox.” This album is like stepping into a museum of emotions, each track meticulously curated to evoke a unique response.

As a gamer, I’ve been eagerly waiting for my favorite rapper, MAVI, to drop new music. After months of teasing us on Instagram about his upcoming album, it’s finally here! The LP, titled “shadowbox,” takes me on a journey into MAVI’s past, revealing his most introspective work yet. I can’t wait to dive deeper into these tracks and uncover the stories behind them.

Throughout the 14 songs in the album, MAVI maintains an authentic and unfiltered approach, delving into feelings that were previously hidden. On the track “drown the snake,” which seamlessly connects with the striking single “drunk prayer,” he pauses the music to express thoughts more directly concerning the themes of “shadowbox.”

“You’re familiar with the concept of one’s inner child, right? Well, it seems as though there’s a dark presence that’s been with him since then. As a child, he often saw strange shadows in his room frequently.”

The press release mentions that while working on the project, MAVI not only delved deeper into his previously buried feelings but also drew substantial inspiration for the album ‘shadowbox’ from his visits to art museums.

“I’m grateful to God for a life that instructs me, and for the teachers who breathe life into me. I’ve reached my lowest depths but have created something from it. This experience was essential, as was your presence. Thank you. I consider myself your friend, and I live and die in the pursuit of your love. -Omavi Ammu (and his shadow)” wrote on Instagram.

“read the lyrics, listen all in order, quiet and in the dark. it’s okay to cry!
