Earl Sweatshirt, More"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>North Carolina rapper MAVI has lately been touring with people like Earl Sweatshirt and Freddie Gibbs, and he&#8217;s collaborated with tons of people across the underground rap landscape. In the past few months, MAVI has released singles like &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2309489\/mavi-landgrab-feat-earl-sweatshirt\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Landgrab<\/a>&#8221; with Earl Sweatshirt and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2312900\/mavi-smino-potluck\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Potluck<\/a>,&#8221; with Smino. Now, those collaborations and more find a home on MAVI&#8217;s new album-length project The Pilot.<\/p>\n<p>According to a press release, the title of The Pilot refers to a TV show&#8217;s first episode and to the person who flies the plane. The Pilot follows the 2024 EP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stereogum.com\/2268697\/mavi-drunk-prayer\/music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Shadowbox<\/a>, and MAVI announced it last week. It&#8217;s coming out just as MAVI celebrates a year of sobriety, and he sounds really energetic and locked-in on this one. He&#8217;s not really doing the thing where he mutters behind the beat anymore. He really gets after it on this one, and he does it without losing his loose expansiveness. I&#8217;m just on my second listen now, but I&#8217;m already impressed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to &#8220;Landgrab&#8221; and &#8220;Potluck.,&#8221; The Pilot also has collaborations with MIKE and Kenny Mason. It&#8217;s just 10 songs in 24 minutes, and it&#8217;s worth your time. Listen below.<\/p>\n<p>The Pilot is out now on Loma Vista.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"North Carolina rapper MAVI has lately been touring with people like Earl Sweatshirt and Freddie Gibbs, and he&#8217;s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":153413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-153412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
