Born Gary James ll in Harlem New York, Mav’Rick has always been attracted to music. The first song he ever memorized was 'Top Billin' by Audio Two and Mav’Rick has been addicted to hip hop in everything under its umbrella ever since; with influences that include Big L, Notorious B.I.G, Jay-Z, and Eminem to name a few. He started writing music himself, for fun, at the age of 14 but never took it as serious as everyone around him thought he should. Going months to a year without writing anything at times but something would always bring Mav’Rick back to his passion of hip hop and emceeing. Through time honing his skills (through cyphers and singles) and due to different relationships developed through music (studio sessions and shows) it has finally led this special artist back to his passion of writing in a collaboration with long time friends, Chillz and DJ Sanity. Now residing in Jamaica Queens, this lyrical monster has finally put pen to paper seriously, and will be introducing a lot of different projects coming soon including the current East Coast G-House album and movement where he brings the Streets 2 Da House. Issa vibe he’s a vibe!!! STAY TUNED!!!!!
