Cities Aviv is the project of Memphis-born musician Gavin Mays, known for his boundary-blurring blend of hip-hop, punk, noise, and electronic experimentation. Emerging from Memphis’s vibrant underground, he gained attention with his early mixtapes and albums such as *Come to Life* and *Your Discretion Is Trust*. His work challenges genre conventions, merging raw emotion with abstract soundscapes and philosophical lyricism. A forward-thinking voice in independent music, Cities Aviv continues to push creative limits while shaping the sound of alternative rap’s avant-garde edge.
