"While it remains a remarkable achievement, Mavi's breakthrough debut album Let The Sun Talk was the work of an artist still coming into his own, recorded when the gifted emcee was a teenager attending Howard University. After touring with Jack Harlow and working with artists like Earl Sweatshirt and Pink Siifu, the Charlotte, North Carolina wordsmith returned three years later with the acclaimed follow-up Laughing So Hard, It Hurts, an emotional meditation on life's complex duality. Embedding his dense flows within lush instrumentation and stuttering percussion, Mavi unearthed new lyrical depth on the album, navigating through joy and sorrow, grief and hope, pain and healing. While many artists have struggled to match the heights of a beloved debut, Laughing So Hard, It Hurts proved that Mavi would only continue to elevate his virtuosic self-expression with each new release. Eloquently cascading rhymes reveal an artist searching for truth through a vast scope of thought, floating atop serene production from Monte Booker, Dlyvinci, Ovrkast, and more. After very limited initial pressings, this classic 2022 collection is now receiving its most extensive vinyl release to date."

"Since his 2019 debut album Let The Sun Talk caught the attention of listeners around the globe, Mavi has become one of the leading lights of hip-hop's next generation. Subtly molding his fascinating stream of consciousness into a fluid mosaic of elaborately interlocking rhymes, the Charlotte, North Carolina emcee has gone on to amass millions of streams, tour nationally and internationally, work with artists like Earl Sweatshirt and Alchemist, and see his music championed by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NPR, and more. These accomplishments flow from the powerful resonance of deeply personal artistry and raw poetic talent. Mavi's latest album Shadowbox is his most fully realized work to date, exploring the nuances of new experiences and perspectives within substantive layers of abstraction and metaphor. With atmospheric soundscapes illuminating the oceanic depth in Mavi's intricate lyrics, the acclaimed collection is a compelling step forward from a visionary young artist. After much anticipation, Shadowbox is now available on vinyl for the first time ever."
