Redveil has officially put his name on the map with the release of his newest project, Niagara. With flows like water and lyricism as heavy as a wave, once Redveil drops his foot on the gas, he never lets up. Born Marcus Morton, Redveil is a DMV native, specifically from Prince George’s County, a place that has housed talents such as Foggieraw, Rico Nasty, and Q Da Fool.

On this tape Redveil is coming with a vengeance and drive like no other and in this review, NS is here to tell you all our absolute favorite tracks off the album! Another DMV native has the the world’s attention, us included. 😈

Campbell

With a completely soulful entrance mixed with elements of trap flows and lyricism, redveil doesn’t just get his foot in the door, instead, he glides into the room with effortless energy and skill, rapping about his dreams of stardom and success, all the while bringing his friends for the ride! This is the shortest track on the mixtape however, it does what it needs to do and introduces the world to redveil the artist.

Weight

Weight is the heavyweight track of this project for sure. With a vocal-led production, looping a beautiful chord progression that blends beautifully over a consistent kick and snare, as well as a deceptively full 808. On the track, redveil is basically convincing himself that he isn’t feeling any sort of weight or pressure from the industry in his pursuit of his dreams.

He speaks on what he does to avoid extra burdens such as not getting involved in “BS”, needing his own space, because lately people have been feeling like wolves in sheep’s clothing.

5500 (ft. Gio)

5500 is probably our favorite track on the tape and showcases redveil’s ability to catch a vibe, run with it, experiment with it, and ultimately utilize it to make a point. On 5500 redveil speaks on topics such as making money, counting blessings, stacking chips, working tirelessly, and keeping his goal insights. The acoustics and the percussion bouncing off the surfaces of the track gives the track the feel as if it was made in an echo chamber.

Gio’s feature on the track adds another level of “oomph” as well, doing its job of continuing the funky trap vibe towards the end of the track, were a beautiful sample leads it home.

Revolutions (ft. Junii)

This track has a wavy and eerily endearing sound, inviting listeners into the topic sentence Revolutions sounds hungry and driven, and continues to showcase redveil’s unbridled lyricism.

However, he’s complemented by an equally heavy verse, from the talented Junii, who speaks on topics like stability, censorship, sacrifices, and getting closer to god. The two blend in and out of the concept of Revolutions, which we believe is an allusion to the world spinning round and round and with each revolution, new problems and processes reveal themselves.

Clench (ft. Chris Patrick)

Clench one of our final faves from the tape portrays Redveil in his most flex-worthy form, speaking on his opponents being hungry for his spot, building black wealth, assumptions he’s had to clear up, keeping his success lowkey, black lives matter, and drinking water, all on a high-paced, upbeat, boom-bap production, all curated and created by his talent alone.
