#OnOurRadar: Marlo2xx Shines Light on His Dual Personas with "Mac vs Heem" EP

Marlo2xx, the rising star from Saint Louis, has just dropped his highly anticipated double single EP, "Mac vs Heem," which offers a captivating glimpse into his two distinct personas. The double release features the tracks "Shadows" and "Kluminati," showcasing Marlo's artistic versatility and range.

With "Mac vs Heem," Marlo2xx delves deep into his inner world, presenting listeners with an intimate look at his contrasting sides. Heem represents the laid-back, introspective aspect of his personality, while Mac embodies his rebellious and unapologetic nature.

"Shadows," the first track on the double single, embodies the Heem persona. With smooth melodies and introspective lyrics, Marlo invites us into his mind, exploring themes of self-reflection and letting go of his past. The song's atmospheric production creates a captivating backdrop for Marlo's heartfelt storytelling, allowing listeners to connect on a deeper level.

On the other hand, "Kluminati" introduces us to the fierce and fearless Mac side of Marlo. This track showcases his aggressive flow and undeniable confidence, as he unleashes his rebellious spirit through hard-hitting verses and energetic delivery. With its infectious beats and bold lyrics, "Kluminati" is a testament to Marlo's determination and drive.

Marlo2xx's journey as an artist has been shaped by his personal experiences and the weight of responsibility placed upon him at a young age. Losing his father at the age of 19, Marlo discovered his purpose and turned to music as an outlet for his emotions. Now, with "Mac vs Heem," he channels his inner turmoil and growth into a powerful musical statement.

Influenced by the likes of Kendrick Lamar, EST Gee, and Kevin Gates, Marlo2xx draws inspiration from artists who prioritize authenticity and vulnerability in their music.

We recently had the opportunity to chat with Marlo about his love for basketball and music, building generational wealth, using music as an outlet and more. Check out the full interview below:
