The Queen of Purple Sound is using her ear-gasmic music as a medium for an offering from God, to the people of Minneapolis, and world wide. Maya Marchelle or My Dolla (depending on who you ask) is the reigning Queen, with musicality ordained by God, and Trappers. The “Actin’ Up” songstress allows her Holy Water cleansed pen to bleed, writing the iconic records that make up her critically acclaimed repertoire, “Trap Evangelist.” The highly anticipated album joins Marchelle’s already incomparable project catalog: “29” EP (2016) and “There Will Be Clouds” EP (2018). My Dolla closes the project with heavenly, melodic offerings from the Stellar Award winning and GRAMMY Award nominated artist, Kierra Sheard.
For most, being the Queen and wearing multiple hats can be difficult, not for Marchelle. On “Trap Evangelist” (track 4) Marchelle rhymes: “Never really thought about rapping, but I’m good at everything, so I treat it like trappin’” [1:44]. The multifaceted artist boasts how success and acceptance has met her, on every creative road she’s blazed. Illuminating what it means to be an artist, and to be sensitive about the curation and production of work that will move cities and people for generations to come, Marchelle lifts the Trap up. Produced and Engineered by Minneapolis greats of Royal Family Music Group, “Trap Evangelist” encapsulates the realities and experiences for and of people in and adjacent, to the Trap.
Marchelle is a messenger from God, spreading the gospel, holding the 9 and reminding the world that even with being buried alive, the roses will still rise, from the concrete.
