Marv Won: It's a triple threat flex with Elzhi & Fatt Father on 'Measuring Stick'
Just keeping it 100? I have rocked with Mello Music Group for years and seeing the record label continuing to flourish and serve as a home for some pretty lyrical heavyweights? Tough. So it’s only right to geek out over hip-hop artists Marv Won, Elzhi and Fatt Father teaming up for their ‘Measuring Stick’ anthem.
Just keeping it 100? I have rocked with Mello Music Group for years and seeing the record label continuing to flourish and serve as a home for some pretty lyrical heavyweights? Tough. So it’s only right to geek out over hip-hop artists Marv Won, Elzhi and Fatt Father teaming up for their ‘Measuring Stick’ anthem.
It’s a triple threat flex with ‘Measuring Stick’
With I’m Fine, Thanks For Asking slated to arrive in early April, Marv continues to set the bar high with both El and Double F coming through on the assist.
Marv Won is a Detroit musical alchemist – a street poet laureate entrenched in the battle rap scene, as well as a cinematic world class producer as capable of channeling Dr. Dre as Donald Goines. Marv breaks new ground with his first Mello Music Group album, I’m Fine Thanks For Asking, - a soul-baring endeavor that weaves tales of struggle and triumph, drawing inspiration from his storied life in the Motor City.
As one of the most esteemed battle rappers, Marv Won brings a lyrical ferocity to his unapologetically raw and heartfelt rhymes. This album collaboration with Mello Music Group marks a pivotal moment in his career, showcasing a seamless fusion of his word play and production. The album, featuring collaborations with Quelle Chris, Elzhi, Freeway, Rapper Big Pooh of Little Brother and more, cements Marv Won's status in the rap game. Marv Won's storytelling transcends mere verses, painting vivid portraits of life in the D. Over ten self-produced tracks Marv showcases his ability behind the boards with tracks that blend epic orchestration and Joe Louis drums that hit like Tommy Hearns.
In a masterful blend of production and rap, Marv Won drops his new single, “Measuring Stick,” that’s pure Detroit in its soul and sound; a gritty, bass-laden anthem that reverberates with the city’s hard-knock life. With Marv, Detroit’s lyrical heavyweights, Elzhi and Fatt Father, throw down verses that are nothing short of legendary, adding layers to this rich urban tapestry. This trio isn’t just collaborating, they’re uniting Detroit’s rap royalty, with Marv at the helm, steering this ship into uncharted waters. It’s a nod to the Motor City’s rugged past, and a bold leap into its future; making “Measuring Stick” more than a song—it’s a milestone in Detroit’s storied rap saga.
Marv Won’s, I’m Fine, Thanks For Asking, will be released on 4-5-24 via Mello Music Group.

Elzhi: The Detroit lyricist is packing major heat for a new 'Heavy Vibrato' album
Need some Midwest bars? Look no further than what hip-hop veteran Elzhi is serving up these days alongside hitmaker Oh No and their ‘Fireballs’ anthem. But it’s bigger than an audio gem, the duo are gearing up for a full-fledged Heavy Vibrato album.
Need some Midwest bars? Look no further than what hip-hop veteran Elzhi is serving up these days alongside hitmaker Oh No and their ‘Fireballs’ anthem. But it’s bigger than an audio gem, the duo are gearing up for a full-fledged Heavy Vibrato album.
Elzhi and Oh No’s ‘Heavy Vibrato’ album is coming
While the focus remains on the newly released ‘Fireballs’ single, there’s no doubting how much anticipation is building for a massive new album drop slated to arrive at the start of December.
Known for weaving together complex rhymes with style, Elzhi has been rapping circles around the competition for more than two decades. After years as a member of iconic group Slum Village, Elzhi's impressive solo career has included projects produced by acclaimed artists like Black Milk, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Khrysis, and Will Sessions. Now, the Detroit emcee is linking with California beat maestro Oh No for the new collaborative album Heavy Vibrato. A multitalented underground hip-hop luminary, Oh No has built a formidable resume behind the boards, crafting tracks for Mos Def, Freddie Gibbs, MF DOOM, Action Bronson, Talib Kweli, Ab-Soul, Prodigy, Danny Brown, and many more.
"Oh No is a scientist when it comes to manipulating sound," says Elzhi, calling the partnership "a perfect balance between effortless and technical." "Elzhi is straight up amazing," add Oh No. "From crafting wordplay, to concepts and flows, to storytelling, he's on another level." On the lead single "Fireballs", Elzhi's elaborate poetics ignite Oh No's melodic, jazz-inspired production. Set for digital release on December 1st, Heavy Vibrato is now available for pre-order on CD and limited-edition colored vinyl.
Elzhi's still one of the most lyrical wordsmiths and 'Already Gone' proves it
Please put ample respect on Elzhi’s name. Even though it’s tough to support things in Detroit like the Pistons or Tigers because of the Big Apple red blood pumping through my veins, you can’t deny the hip-hop veteran’s greatness and his pride for Motown heard on his new ‘Already Gone’ single.

Elzhi’s ‘Already Gone’ is a must-hear banger
While this should be left in the Attack The Culture Non-Stop Grind playlist, it’s too fire to only feature there. El comes through with Georgia Anne Muldrow for the repeat-mode-needed audio fire.
Masterful Detroit emcee Elzhi recently announced the upcoming release of Zhigeist, a full-length collaboration with talented musician, producer, and vocalist Georgia Anne Muldrow. With the album set for release later this week, Elzhi and Georgia are debuting "Already Gone", their latest joint single. Now available on all digital outlets, the track showcases the undeniable chemistry between these two remarkable artists, with Elzhi's god-level rhymes melding flawlessly with Georgia's ethereal production and haunting vocals. Entirely produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow, Zhigeist is set for digital and physical release this Friday, March 11th.
