The Charlotte-born artist discusses his excellent third solo album, a harrowing portrait of someone embracing darkness
when it came out?” he incredulously asks his manager and publicist at the other end of the conference table. “There are people on Twitter now telling me that it’s better than. And when it dropped, it was people telling me, ‘Oh, Mavi’s cooked, he’s finished.’ I can’t believe that shit.”hindering the project’s sonic depth.
Some of the depictions of paranoid gun-toting and drug-addled dysfunction paint a rough portrait, but they’re part of the holistic depiction of who he is. In putting these up to the light, he reflects self-awareness of his flawed ways, which is the first step to getting them in check. The album harkens to one of author Toni Morrison’s most resonant observations: “Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge—even wisdom. Like art.”.
He’s also acting on his new creative interests. He’s still “thinking through” the stage set for his next tour, but in the meantime, his eye for detail will be reflected in his merch: he’s made incense to go along with vinyl, as well as mini-shadow boxes . Designing his new Charlotte home may be his most consequential project yet. “This house is brand new, I want to fuck it up. I want to tear floors out,” he says. ”I want to redo everything in it. Just to do it like a study.
“I don’t think it’s a best rapper or a better rapper, because there’s no better painter or worse painter,” he clarifies. “But on that level when we used to be in 9th grade on the bus, from that perspective, outside of the actual greatest to ever do this, I don’t know who is my age generation pushing their own pen rapping better than me.”
