    Teairra Mari Shares Musical Journey On ‘Then & Now’

    Written by Trent | Filed under Teairra Mari
    Teairra Mari Then and Now TheLavalizard

    Teairra Mari talks music in 'Then and Now' special.

    Teairra Mari is the personification of the little engine that could. The singer proved that point with her ‘Teairra Mari: Then & Now’ special in which she explained her musical journey that included her tale of singing to Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records and eventually being unceremoniously dropped.

    However, Mari has experienced several victories since her troubled past. Indeed, she has since established a working relationship with Rico Love and joined his Division 1 imprint. Those wins don’t include the video for her new single, ‘U Did That (Ft. 2 Chainz)’, though.

    Watch Mari’s ‘Then & Now’ below:

      I really like this girl. However, I think she needs a better image and should explore a more commercial sound. It’s O.K to stay true to yourself but aim to move forward. She’s too RnB and that’s limiting her because that market doesn’t buy albums/singles, they download for free! A more commercial sound doesn’t mean Starships, etc. Amerie’s One Thing is a great sound, Some of Usher’s new songs are really good too.
