Marcus Morton (born April 20, 2004), better known by his stage name Redveil (stylized as redveil), is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer from Prince George's County, Maryland. He produces most of his own instrumentals, [1] occasionally also making beats for other artists. [2] He has self-released three albums, Bittersweet Cry, Niagara, and Learn 2 Swim , as well as one EP, Playing w/ Fire .
Marcus Morton was born on April 20, 2004, in Washington D.C. to a Canadian-Jamaican mother and Kittian father. [3] Growing up, Morton's parents would often play funk and soul music, which was an early influence to his sample choice, and his tone delivery. [4] At age 11, Morton heard "Palace/Curse" by the Internet and Tyler, the Creator, which he credits as the "kickstart" to his musical interest. [5] Shortly after, Redveil began producing his own music with FL Studio. In 2020, Morton described his music as "triumphant, bright and sunny."
While making his 2022 album Learn 2 Swim , Morton drew inspiration from New York drill music, and listened to local DMV area artists Xanman, Yung Manny, and No Savage during its creation. [6]
Redveil has production credits on all of his albums. [7] His 2022 album, Learn 2 Swim, was entirely self-produced.
A writer for online music publication Okayplayer called Morton "the DMV's next great hope" in an interview discussing his 2022 album, Learn 2 Swim. [8] In 2020, another publication wrote: "[Redveil] is 16 rapping like he's in his 20s." [9] Music publication Pitchfork gave Learn 2 Swim a score of 8.0 out of 10. [1]
His song "Drown" featuring Donte Thomas and D'Mari Harris has been cosigned by Tyler, the Creator. [10] The track also made his year-end list of favorite songs in 2020. [11] Other notable artists who have cosigned Redveil include JID, [12] Deante' Hitchcock, [13] and Denzel Curry, whose 2022 world tour he supported at select dates. [14] Redveil was also a supporting act at 12 shows during Freddie Gibbs' Space Rabbit Tour, where Mike also performed. [15]
In November 2023, at Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw festival, Redveil called for a ceasefire in the Israeli bombardment of Gaza. [16] He spoke about it during his performance while the names of recent victims scrolled on the screen behind him. [17] In February 2024, he was featured on the Arabic news channel Al Jazeera Mubasher, where he spoke about the performance, further expressing his support for a ceasefire. [18]
