Mavi could well be part of the underground face for the next decade because he has a very special talent. Probably inspired by Earl Sweatshirt, it has a very similar but less abstract elocution and delivry, and is very reminiscent of the Earl of the beginning in its interpretation. Even if we are aware that Mavi still has a lot of work to do to stand out from this influence, he offered us a really solid project and his rap is poignant. He has this ability to write and also to come back and drive the nail in, as if he was finishing his prey, mainly at first with nuggets like Self Love or the triplet Eye/I and I/Nation. Contrary to what I read, I don't find it underestimated, I even find it in its place for the moment, because it can do much better. I really appreciated the first part of the project but less the second part which is gradually running out of steam. Not to mention the interludes that I find really boring and that break the rhythm without really bringing what they should.
