[His name is not yet widely known, but in the hearts of rap-loving listeners, it's an unattainable peak] – Introduction
The roar of a white Ferrari faded away, and the car stopped in front of a "book and burned fairy grass" door.
In such a small county town, Ferrari was not seen very often, until a young man strode out of the car with a smile.
This small place was called Pi County, which is now the Pidu District of Chengdu City; the boy who came down from Ferrari was known to everyone in Pi County.
His name was Ma Siwei, and Pixian was his home and where all his friends were.
Ma Siwei joked with his friends, not at all angry, and did not have the inherent impression of the shelf held by the owner of the Ferrari.
If it weren't for the car parked next to it, you might think it was just a normal gathering of a couple of college students on their long vacations.
The name Ma Siwei is probably unfamiliar to most people.
But in the hearts of rap-loving listeners, it's an unattainable peak.
On March 13, 2021, in the first S+-level original music social variety show "Praise for Songs" created by Douyin, which collected all platform resources, we saw the figure of this young man.
For these friends around Ma Siwei Pi County, this big boy born in 93 is not only a totem, but also a faith.
Ma Siwei is not the kind of genius who is not born, on the contrary, he was born in a very ordinary family, no different from the childhood of any child.
In the eyes of Ma Siwei's classmate Yang Shuai, Ma Siwei belongs to the kind of students who are "not too good".
The truth is also that in terms of learning, Ma Siwei is the one who is unknown. But the interest in music began very early.
In 2000, Ma Siwei was in the second grade, and by this time he already had the habit of listening to songs. At that time, Ma Siwei did not know that at this time, there would be two singers who would change his future, or even his life.
One is called Jay Chou and the other is called Pan Weibai.
Although their songs are not serious HipHop music, they only add Rap's singing style to pop music. But for 7-year-old Ma Siwei, it was shocking enough.
In junior high school, Ma Siwei began to contact black-eyed peas, and the first black rap music in his life was rubbed from the MP3 at the same table, and "Where Is The Love?" by Black-eyed Peas. 》。
Like all junior high school boys, Ma Siwei loved basketball more after he went to junior high school.
His bedroom is full of posters of NBA stars, and he is also very valuable in his introduction.
However, the NBA and Rap are not separated, and Ma Siwei bluntly said that what really fascinates him with Hiphop music is Usher's "Yeah!" sung on an NBA show.
While watching the NBA, Ma Siwei learned about the street basketball culture in the United States, and a video of AND1.MIXTAPE street basketball made him deeply immersed in it, and he gradually began to like rap music.
Ma Siwei, who went to high school, did not improve his grades at all, except that he had his first computer.
Like most high school students, Ma Siwei's computer is not used to learn, but to tinker with music.
The high school curriculum was boring, and Ma Siwei often listened drowsily. The teacher said that if you are sleepy and want to sleep, you can stand behind yourself, so that you can not doze off and listen carefully to the lecture.
Ma Siwei often took the initiative to stand at the end of the classroom and crackled and read the things written in the book, and everyone thought he was endorsing the book, but in fact he was rapping.
When he said "rap", Ma Siwei's eyes lit up, and you could see the boy who was once a teenager who was thinking of his own rap lyrics.
Sure enough, Ma Siwei, who had a stable grade, was called to the office by the teacher when he was in the second grade of high school: to be a soldier and learn art and sports, you must choose one.
It is estimated that ma Siwei, who believes that art and sports are not separated from the family, loves music, chooses to paint, runs to the painting tutoring institution to study, and feels that he can be admitted to college through painting.
The reason for entering the university is only to "play for a few more years".
Like to be free, do not like to be restrained, high school Ma Siwei, already has Hiphop's free and unrestrained musical spirit.
But even then, he didn't know he would eventually get into an indissoluble relationship with hip-hop music.
After the college entrance examination, Ma Siwei's mother bought him a MIDI keyboard, and throughout the summer, Ma Siwei basically did not go out, and he stayed in the bedroom all day to study how to arrange music.
He did not know that the university he was going to was called Chengdu University of Technology, and the first thought he had when he learned the name of the university was to search for any rap near the school, and then take the initiative to contact them.
Ma Siwei's college major has nothing to do with rapping, because he studied painting, so he engaged in interior decoration. For the teacher's interior design homework, Ma Siwei rarely can complete it on time, not because he is rebellious, but because he does not like it.
He loved music, so when he went to college, he joined a student group called We'd Best Crew. The name sounds slightly middle-of-the-middle rap group, which once supported half of the sky in Chengdu's rap industry.
There were nine people in the group at the time: YoungJ, C4, SM, Chack Zee, Skip, A&T, Zebron, Master_Han, Brok.
Ma Siwei, who just entered, was the most inconspicuous one, and The Chuck Zee in the team was the 2011 Tiemai Chengdu champion, and A&T's current name is ATYANG, which is now one of the top HipHop producers.
This period of college was Ma Siwei's most liberal and difficult period—because there was no fame, no one came to see the team's performances, and tickets could not be sold; because the rap music was too niche, and there was no atmosphere on campus.
More pressure actually comes from the family, Ma Siwei's parents are very typical Chinese parents, they feel that their son's Hiphop is a crooked way, there is no future.
The stubborn Ma Siwei was unable to reconcile with his parents, and he ran away from home in a fit of anger, when Ma Siwei was 22 years old.
It was also after running away from home that Ma Siwei really entered his career - from then on, Ma Siwei, who painted, never returned, and Ma Siwei, a rapper and music producer, was strong online.
On the first day of 2014, Ma Siwei released his first Mixtape "P.E.I_Mixtape1", which debuted at its peak, and this album has a strong style of BoomBap and is full of elasticity.
Just a month later, Ma Siwei released the series Mixtape biloger "P.E.I Vol.2", which became a hit and had a large audience, including one of Ma Siwei's masterpieces, Laoshan Daoist.
"Mixtape didn't deliberately want to make what it was like, and I couldn't think about it so much at the time, I just wrote what I wanted, and then kneaded them together and sent them out for others to hear," Ma Siwei explained his second work.
Such a high yield also proves that Ma Siwei has made Rap his profession.
When writing songs, Ma Si was the only one who had been watching the old cartoon "Laoshan Daoist", and when he was uninspired, he watched it again until the whole song was written.
In July 2015, Ma Siwei released his third Mixtape "P.E.I. Vol.3" through the rap club, which heralded Ma Siwei's transformation, and he began to try something different, with everything and a variety of styles, like a miscellaneous collection.
In the same year, "Higher Brothers", which was first cooperated by Ma Siwei and PSY.P and knowknow, officially established the Higher Brothers group, and at the same time, Ma Siwei and his group began a national tour.
After that, Ma Siwei's career rose all the way, as the backbone and leader of the team, Ma Siwei brought Higher Brothers into a rap group that was popular all over the country and even to the actual fire.
There is also his fourth Mixtape, "A Few Good Kids."
This boy with dirty braids and a cool mouth finally got the affirmation of his parents and hometown people.
In Pi County, whether it is selling breakfast or opening a milk tea shop, no one knows Ma Siwei. In the hearts of the people in his hometown, he truly became the pride of the whole Pi County and even Chengdu.
Friends said that Ma Siwei is strong in heart, has high achievements, and gives himself great stimulation and encouragement, bringing him the strength to pursue his ideals.
Because a successful person like Ma Siwei is by his side.
When asked about his life plan, Ma Siwei replied: "Happy and happy to continue to daydream." "There are many listeners who like Ma Siwei, and many of them are infected by the simple and pure characteristics of this teenager.
I dare to predict that this dragging boy will be the next "Jay Chou" in the Chinese music scene.
In the "Praise for the Song" jointly broadcast by Zhejiang Satellite TV and Watermelon Video, Ma Siwei will bring his new song "Douban Sauce".
