🔥🎻 Tonight was NOTHING short of legendary and a critical display of unity amongst the DC music & art community. It’s an absolute honor to stand with these talented inspirers to fight an unjust and ruthless attack on the historic DC street performer culture. I reject bill 22-839 “Amplified Noise Amendment Act of 2018” 🛇 because it will harm the overall cultural fabric of the city that includes a long history of street performance, much of which has regularly used amplified instruments or other electronic equipment. It is overly punitive. Especially given the racial, cultural, and socioeconomic diversity of DC street performers, the threat of a $300 fine and 10 days in jail is absolutely absurd.

The Story Behind the Art

💯🎻📚

  I got my first electric violin 3 years ago as a gift from my girlfriend. It was the most loving and inspiring gift I've ever received. I began playing it heavily this past year while finishing my architecture degree. In this short time I found myself as a producer and musician by mixing my love for classical music and hip-hop. For this album I wanted to say farewell and thank you to my first violin before I introduce yet another new all black acoustic/electric violin.

​

  The cover art has many meanings. It depicts a comic of my first white electric violin personified as myself making a beat on my midi controller with my headphones on. The pose of the character was inspired by a picture of DJ Premier who is one of my favorite producers. The movement of the character was inspired by the ecelctic jazz cover art of the great Roy Hussen best known for his work with Pierre Rampal. I chose the color purple for the background to represent for my hometown New Rochelle, NY.

The title is exactly what I do and who I am. I subscribe to the "classical hustle" lifestyle (pun intended). I came up in the street show and busking scene in Washington D.C. and Maryland. I started making beats in my mother basement. I began playing violin in '99 as an 8 year old. I've been through adversity and I am greatful that so far I have triumphed over all obstacles. The image and this title mean alot to me and I can't wait for this album to mean something to you the fans and my supporters as well.

The moment Suga Free became legendary

[marvillousbeats]

keep your dreams to yourself

Tumblr fam can I vent?

So... I find it SO disrespectful when adults who are aware of the success of my business and music career.. ask me about my plans with my architecture degree. Now, It's not the fact that they are asking that dissapoints me.. I appreciate the "interest"... but its the reaction and the Energy I recieve from them once I respond with this confidence in myself. What I don't appreciate is the immediate loss of this "interest" once I share my truth. The vibration is so potent it makes me sick sometimes. This is why you keep your dreams to yourself. No matter how well you do in your life traditionalists will always suck the positivity out of your "unconventional" means to happiness. It's all love though. I get it. Ok I'm done :) <3

I dropped out of my first college after freshman year. I went to community college for 3 years. After another 4 years I've finally made it to this moment! It took perseverance, determination and focus! Shoutout to my mother, my father (haven't seen him since high school grad), my girlfriend, my sister, my brother and my brother in law for coming to commencement 😊 We did it. Today is the day. 📸 by Jesse Scott #Classof2017 #UDC #Commencement #graduation #diploma #mountvernonsquare #dc #scholar #architecture #bachelors #science #design

|| repost and 📸 from @t.lo2 || "While in Silver Spring, I heard some soul moving music coming from a violin in the distance and decided to check it out. That's when I was introduced to the classical, hip hop fusion music of local artist @marvillousbeats. You can catch him playing his electric violin live at @asia.dc on May 21! 🎻 🎶"  👀✊🔥💯💗 Tickets on MARVBEATS.COM
