From a less fortunate life all the way to a successful music career, the last few years have been an amazing adventure for IL M.C. professionally known as MAFF TEST, always knew that the music business would make way in his life for as long as he could remember. Unlike many young adults growing up less fortunate in a single parent home, TEST would never allow this type of stigma to slow him up from what his ultimate goal was and that is to make a name for himself as a recording artist and songwriter.
When asked the details of the hood or city he was from, TEST simply states that he was from "Harvey" and then tells reporters to do their own research and be the judge. We found Harvey to be a poverty stricken suburban city of 3 or 4 projects, corrupted law enforcement, complete with gang and drug pollution. Later in life, TESTs would be nicknamed YOUNG HARVEY, since he is the first to represent their city by "putting it on the map." While he doesnt talk much about his painful early years, fans learn about his childhood as his struggles are often expressed through his songs.
In the early days of rap, TEST wrestled with the transition from the streets to the music industry, although it was obvious right from the start, he had a way with words. MAFF was not at first inclined to choose music, "its a gift i was chosen to be given". Hustling simply to survive, he sought the few extras in other income producing forms that he believed he could not obtain working at a 9 to 5, hard work and risk here & there. Before long, he was addicted to the fast life, one that provided not only for himself, but for his family as well. But, his family and friends observed his incredible ability to create, not only a verse here and there, but richly filled complete songs with very little effort.
With critics saying his skills are beyond equal to many of today's acts, he is a true lyricist delivering incredible narration of not only the streets but night life and plenny more. He combines pain and struggle through clever metaphors fueled by raw energy and confidence. To quote TEST: I bring forth significant realism and add in a sense of security that demonstrates Im not afraid to be myself. People accept you as you are, not some made up image that appears as something youre not
After moving to Atlanta a year ago and benefiting from the progressive flow of the rap scene with help from the likes of DJ Khaled on Big Bizness; Volume 1, Test is back adding and multiplying his buzz with his second mixtape, Big Bizness; Volume 2 and the message is clearly one that everyone can relate to: It dont come like that.
Currently on tour with stops in The Bay Area, Ohio, Indiana, Jacksonville and New York, Maff Test is on a mission to make his sound known, which he describes as well rounded and versatile enough to reach a broad audience. You may hear one song that sounds completely different than another song. My music is like gumbo, a well rounded variety.
