Houston Artist Marcellus Juvann Releases Single “Tha Gritz”

Houston has been a melting pot for hip-hop culture for decades, with groups like UGK and Facemob to artist movements like Travis Scott, Mike Jones, Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Megan Thee Stallion and more.  Following in that lineage is Marcellus Juvann, a multi-talented artist from North Houston who is both a producer and songwriter.

Gearing up for his upcoming EP campaign due out this summer, Marcellus releases a hype single separate from that project titled “Tha Grtiz.”  This self-produced track is his ode to the southern culture, particularly Houston, that he was raised in.  When speaking on “Tha Gritz,” Marcellus states, “I grew up in the peak of southern hip-hop, where its identity was about being as flashy as you can.  But that doesn’t define me, I want to be a new face of Houston hip-hop and shift that narrative.”

Hoping to forge his own path through the culture, Marcellus has been on the right path.  Four projects into his short-spanned career, Marcellus has already received high praises from outlets like Pigeons & Planes, Lyrical Lemonade, earmilk, and more.  Pigeons & Planes stated, “Marcellus’ music is the chronicle of a young man making his way to reach the masses, meeting all the unavoidable vicissitudes along the way, and addressing them in his music.”  This was in their Daily Discovery feature that highlights newly discovered artists that they’re excited about.

Being smooth and gritty with the sounds he’s creating, Marcellus’ music is definitely a breath of fresh air needed right now.  Stay tuned for more releases from the Houston upstart releasing throughout the coming months.
