Fresh off the release of The Pilot, MAVI opens the year with a striking new visual for “Triple Nickel” featuring MIKE. Shot in New York City, the video mirrors the mixtape’s tone: measured, intentional, and quietly confident, capturing an artist moving with clarity after a period of deep personal change. More than just a rollout moment, The Pilot marks MAVI’s first full year of sobriety, a milestone that shapes the project’s renewed sense of freedom, collaboration, and creative control.

Where 2024’s shadowbox wrestled with isolation and addiction, The Pilot feels lighter on its feet, embracing spontaneity without sacrificing introspection. Over the past several months, MAVI has stretched his sound through high profile collaborations with Earl Sweatshirt, Smino, Kenny Mason, and MIKE, reframing his once insular process into one rooted in community. The result is a project that balances philosophical depth with flashes of braggadocio, signalling a subtle but meaningful evolution in both his writing and presence.

Rather than looking back on recent success, The Pilot looks forward. It captures MAVI in transition: still thoughtful, still precise, but newly willing to flex, experiment, and let others into his orbit. The “Triple Nickel” video is a fitting snapshot of this era: grounded, understated, and confident in its direction.
