West Coast artist on the rise, Marc “Mayjah” Payne, returns with Levels of Payne—a sonically rich, globally influenced album that seamlessly bridges hip-hop, soul, and reggae. Packed with cultural depth and lyrical finesse, the album boasts appearances by New Orleans hip-hop heavyweight Shorty T and St. Lucia’s reggae-fusion pioneer Sifu Bosco, creating a project that captures both street wisdom and spiritual elevation.
Repping the West Side of Los Angeles, Payne has earned his stripes not only as an emcee but as a producer, author, and creative force. With his signature blend of thought-provoking bars and personal storytelling, he uses music as a platform to reflect his journey—from local talent to international voice. Levels of Payne captures that transformation in full force, merging regional sounds with global energy.
Highlights include the hard-hitting track “Don’t Mean Nothin,” a gritty collaboration with Shorty T that speaks to resilience and triumph over adversity. Equally powerful is the culturally rich “Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust,” where Sifu Bosco lends his unmistakable reggae flair, bringing balance and unity to the album’s energy.
Known for his verified social media presence and live performance energy, Mayjah Payne is extending his reach across continents. His previous work has landed Top 40 radio play in over 34 markets and spun on more than 70 stations nationwide. Levels of Payne is poised to surpass that success as it continues to gain momentum on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and TIDAL.
“This project is more than music—it’s movement,” says Payne. “It’s about breaking barriers, building bridges, and giving people something real they can feel.”
Whether you’re a hip-hop head, a reggae fan, or someone seeking music with meaning, Levels of Payne delivers a powerful, cross-cultural experience rooted in truth, rhythm, and growth.
