"Live from the City" is a Hip-Hop song written and performed by, Derrick "Mav'rick" McCullough and produced by Shavar "Top Prospect" Clark. Recorded and mixed by Daron "Mixsa" McClinton. It's a song that was created to depict and embody what living in the City of Chicago is truly like and all about and to highlight the many unique nuances that go in to making Chicago such a great, storied, complex and true urban blue-collar American city. Unapologetic in his views, unfazed by any hate and unwavering in his determination to be known as one of the greatest musicians of all-time. Mav'rick is poised to make a run at the throne and embark upon a journey that will hopefully culminate with a young kid from the South Side of Chicago, rising to not just the top of Hip-Hop but to the top of the charts and to the top of the world! An extremely versatile and immensely talented MC in every fashion, Mav'rick serves as the newest and latest pure bred rapper breaking on to the scene that's looking to continue the trend of ushering in a new golden-era of Hip-Hop. Taking cue from some of the greatest and most successful musicians of all time, Mav'rick is no stranger to innovation and going against the grain. Whether musically, professionally or personally, within the confines of his own sociopolitical views, ideals and beliefs, independence and self-reliance is at the core of everything that Mav'rick stands for and represents. Born and raised in one of the toughest regions, in one of the largest and most densely populated cities in the country. The South Side of Chicago. One could only imagine what kind of life experiences have gone into making Mav'rick the man and artist that he is today. Never one to mince words or err on the side of caution, Mav'rick as an artist as well as a man gives you the impression he isn't afraid to speak his mind and say just what most are afraid too. Couple that with an undeniable ability to showcase elite caliber lyrical prowess, a high level of vocabulary and usage of the English language. You have the recipe for an artist that should make even the most hardcore Hip-Hop aficionados proud. Mav'rick or MAV for short, is the type of artist that's very worldly in a sense that many people from many walks of life can relate to and identify with him and vice versa. Having experienced many trials and tribulations of his own, MAV shows that his goal is to display not only through music but through actions as well, that becoming great and bettering your life is a decision you ultimately have to make despite whatever circumstances you are in. Being true to the name, it can't be understated of the type of persona that Mav'rick is equipped with. However, as fiery, intense and engaging of an individual he is, MAV also has a certain depth to him that gives off a bit of a philosopher'esque vibe. Often engaging in long, heavy and polarizing discussions and debates about the type of topics that usually are taboo subjects and can be very divisive in nature. With the release of the first official single, produced by Top Prospect titled "Live from the City", as well as several follow up singles and two mixtapes slated to be released in 2015. This year is shaping up to be the year that anyone who follows Hip-Hop and has thirsted for something or someone new, refreshing and true to the art form that is Hip-Hop, will finally be getting familiar with the one everybody just calls MAV. GET FAMILIAR!!!
