New Music: Mardi - "Living Young" (Feat. Tryphaena Joelle) - RESPECT.

Hailing out of Houston, Mardi, aka Mardi Lex shares a new track titled “Living Young,” a remix to Da-P’s “First To Know.” The R&B and soul-infused track, laced with vocals from Tryphaena Joelle, finds the Houston native reminiscing on his younger days before the hardships of maturity. Mardi recounts run-ins with trouble, shackin up at his mom’s crib, and disappointments with women. The slowing-moving synth lines weave well with the vivid lyrical narrative, providing the perfect portrait of old throwback moments when we were all living young.

Born to Nigerian parents, he’s been exposed to a multitude of cultures and music. As a result, the exposure has given him the tools needed to create a refined cross genre hip-hop sound with influences from a variety of artists. He names his influences to be Nas, 50 Cent, Nipsey Hussle, Dipset, Jay-Z, Mac Miller, Kid Cudi, Kurt Cobain, and Toro Y Moi. Mardi currently resides in the Midwest, working between Indiana and Chicago, but plans on relocating to the West Coast. He aspires to be the greatest artist of his generation, and plans on breaking even more walls between genres.
