Name: Marv Allen
Reppin: New Orleans
Genre: Rap
It’s virtually impossible to grow up in New Orleans and not become heavily influenced by the city’s rich musical legacy. From second line brass bands like the Hot 8 and Rebirth, to multi-platinum rap labels Cash Money and No Limit, to live musicians performing in the street, music is a way of life in the Big Easy.
The most-recent product of the Crescent City’s fertile musical history is rapper/singer/producer Marv Allen. With an uncanny style that blends hip-hop with R&B and a tinge of the city’s signature sub-genre bounce, this multi-talented musical maestro has been steadily fostering a loyal fan base with a string of singles that stretches from his Louisiana breeding grounds to his current home of Atlanta.
And his latest Mr. Hanky-produced single “Money Up” (Remix) featuring Money Bag Yo has already become a summer anthem. The infectious, mid-tempo party jam has been rapidly gaining radio play across the Southeast and building anticipation for his forthcoming LP S.O.N (Something Outta Nothing).
