Sooo, one of my long time friends posted this rendition of Sam Cooke's "A Change Gonna Come" by L. Young. Make sure to follow this brother and his movement. He's doing great things!! I was inspired to add some 'Maviness' to what he did. Here's what I came up with. Hope you enjoy it. Peace.

A Change Gonna Come (L Young - Blacmav Flipz)

Was watching a piece that Rosenberg did on Goodie Mob and got me thinking on the Cell Therapy joint I remade some years back. Of course that 'Mav' sound is definitely there!! How you enjoy! Peace. #Blacmav #GoodieMob #CellTherapy #DungeonFamily #

side note - Oh yea, its downloadable too!! 

Cell Therapy (MavRedux 2015)

..had a thought and ran with it. Gotta do that sometimes. Get those feelings out. You'll prosper from letting go. Find out life...or at least try.

Ghost of The Machine - Last Man on Earth (Blacmav Remix)

Got an idea and followed it down the rabbit hole. Here's what I came up with. Hope you dig it. #Blacmav #HipHopLivesHere #TheElements #ForestForTheTrees

Forest For The Trees

The Elements (Real spit)

This is my tribute to one of the greatest that ever decided to grace a stage, no matter what controversy followed. I attempted to pay homage the way I know how. Through music. We have much to do to reverse our thinking unless fulfilling what's written is your thing. We can be greater than we are. It's as always a choice. The key to life is knowing when it's time to make it.

Hope y'all enjoy.

Music matters. #Blacmav #riP

A rare occasion where the crew (minus Average Joe)was able to link up. Life continues to pull us in different directions but we had to drop something right quick to let the people know we're still here. Checkout the album 'From All Angles' on Bandcamp and follow us on FB & IG @fearitselfcrew!
Please enjoy, share and repost!

From 'Scratch' (The beattape)

The Hall Monitor

The Hall Monitor (Mav's Scratchmag RR Joint)

I recently visited my Alma Mater VSU to catch up and spend time with friends at Homecoming. As the drinks started flowing, some discovered that their limits were a lot lower than others. As things began to go downhill for this young man, The Homecoming Committee had an a-ha moment to create this song on the spot. The funniest part was when he woke up singing "It was the soda that did it!" 

While in the spirit of fun, hopefully this track can serve as a learning lesson for those that may not know when to say when! Remember to enjoy responsibly and don't blame it on the soda! lol

Peace to CeCe, Blu and Northeast Beast for blessing this track with their perspectives. 

Hope ya'll dig it too!

Mr. One Too Many (produced By Blacmav)

This is from a classic holiday song that I was challenged to recreate during my #StraightOutTheBox segment, which takes place in the DC metro area, Okay here's the short of it. I play music in public and encourage others to showcase their talents. The ultimate goal is to bring folks together through music and create some great moments along the way. Thanks to the gentleman that issued the challenge (name escapes me but he works for DC govt.) 
I hope you get to listen to what I came up with!

IF you participate in ANY performing art.. Straight Out The Box is for you! I'm talking rappers, singers, spokenword poets, dancers, instrumentalists and ESPECIALLY MUSIC PRODUCERS! 

Follow me on ig @blacmav and dm me for more details to be apart of whats needed!!!

Peace,

Straight Out The Box: The Series

Its the most (SOTB The series)

This year has been a trying time for all of us. Crazy thing is, this global pandemic has beckoned some to peel back the layers to understand why life is precious in itself. In the midst of election night, I found myself doing that thing I do.. where I come up wih an idea and expound upon it until I have a sense of how I would like the track to go. 

Here's the end result. Make sure to share with as many people as you can. 

Enjoy and thanks as always for supporting,
mav aka Claude Hammersay

Oh yea...get ready for this 2020 revue coming on bandcamp January 1. 2020.
