Born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Mahzi is relentlessly flanking the confines of female rap. Her trap-leaning, smooth R&B style has given rise to the fact that she’s a force of ferocity in today’s modern rap landscape. With influences ranging from her father (a rapper in one of the original Hip-Hop groups from Detroit, A.W.O.L.) to Jhene Aiko, Brandy, Beyonce, and more, Mahzi’s take on being a complete entertainer parallels her aspirations to become a household name. Her strive for greatness is multi-layered, underscored by a knack for freestyling throughout her creative process and a holistic approach in showcasing the true extent of her talents through dance and acting. Mahzi’s first release in 2017 included a feature from YSL’s very own Young Thug (“Tax’d”), followed by the release of her first-ever mixtape: Trap Baby Season. Both releases garnered critical acclaim, while also presenting Mahzi with the opportunity to fortify her musical career by signing with Ethika Music. Mahzi’s highly anticipated new project Ivory (which happens to be her first name) sparks her quest to offer her supporters, or as she calls them, Trap Babies, the opportunity to hear her for the first time gracefully singing and rapping. Ivory proposes a deep dive into Mahzi’s internal battles and authentic growth as a person and artist, spotlighting her natural storytelling ability.
