La Boule Noire - MAVI

In 2019, 22-year-old rapper Mavi released his stunning debut album Let The Sun Talk to thunderous applause and widespread critical success. Following the success of Let The Sun Talk, Mavi had a second album planned for 2020, but due to unforeseen personal circumstances, he eventually decided to put the project on hold. Instead, in 2021, Mavi returned with the excellent 5-song EP, End of The Earth, featuring fan favourites such as "TIME TRAVEL" and "THOUSAND MILES", with a visual by LoneWolf, before heading out on tour at the end of 2021, accompanying Jack Harlow on his Cremé De La Cremé headline tour alongside Detroit bar spitter Babyface Ray. In an era where metrics reign supreme, Mavi has emerged as a unicorn - an artist whose output remains uncompromising, but who manages to maintain a large and mobile fanbase (1 million monthly listeners on Spotify), even with a two-year break between releases and only one album and one EP. To add to his unique stature, Mavi is also a completely independent and financially self-sufficient artist, which brings a certain level of urgency to his work that is unmatched. Now, after years of reflection, contemplation and, of course, rapping, Mavi delivers his highly anticipated second album, Laughing So Hard It Hurts.
