Redveil
Redveil is an up-and-coming rapper, songwriter, and producer from Prince George's County, Maryland. He first gained attention in the AG Club world when he hopped on "TRUTH," the fourth single from the group leading up to the release of their FYE Pt. 1 and Pt. 2 projects. The group traveled to Maryland to meet up with Redveil and shoot the visuals for the track, which involved a "chill walk in the woods with a side order of glow-in-the-dark night vision."
Redveil's music is influenced by jazz and soul and features smooth flows and impactful lyrics. He produces most of his own instrumentals, occasionally making beats for other artists. In August 2020, Redveil self-released his debut album "Niagara," which created a significant buzz on the internet and launched him into underground stardom. He has since released two more albums, "Bittersweet Cry" and "Learn 2 Swim," which have both received critical acclaim and solidified Redveil's place as a rising star in the rap scene
Growing up, Redveil was exposed to a lot of funk and soul music by his parents, which can be heard in his sample choices and delivery. At age 11, he was inspired to start making music after hearing "Palace/Curse" by The Internet and Tyler, The Creator. He began producing his own music using FL Studio, and in 2020 described his sound as "triumphant, bright, and sunny."
Redveil's most recent album, "Learn 2 Swim," released in 2022, was entirely self-produced and drew inspiration from New York Drill Music and local DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) artists Xanman, Yung Manny, and No Savage. The album received critical acclaim, with Pitchfork giving it a score of 8.0. In an interview discussing the album, an Okayplayer writer called Redveil "the DMV's next great hope."

In addition to Tyler, the Creator, and Brockhampton cosigning his music, Redveil has also received support from JID, Deante' Hitchcock, and Denzel Curry, who invited him to support him on select dates of his 2022 world tour. Redveil was also a supporting act on Freddie Gibbs' Space Rabbit Tour, where he performed alongside MIKE.
