Phoenix-based artist Mouse Powell has released his new album, Cherry, through Ineffable Records, bringing together his hip-hop roots with the alternative, reggae-rock, and melodic influences that have increasingly shaped his music. The 10-track project features collaborations with Shwayze, Tropidelic, Wax, and Grieves, reflecting Powell’s ability to move between musical communities while maintaining his identity as a rapper and songwriter.
Powell first gained recognition in the underground hip-hop scene, particularly through his collaborations with Minneapolis rapper Grieves. The two released music together under the name Why Not?, developing a creative partnership that eventually produced two projects. Since then, Powell has expanded his catalog through collaborations with artists connected to the alternative and reggae-rock scenes, including Katastro and Artikal Sound System.
Cherry reflects those overlapping influences. The album includes previously released tracks like “Left Hand Side” featuring Shwayze, “Complicated” featuring Tropidelic and Wax, “I Didn’t Get This High,” and “Fucked Up” featuring Grieves.
The record also features “Light as a Feather,” “Good Work,” “Dog Food,” “Waistband,” “How Did I Get Here,” and “Look At Me Now,” completing a 10-song collection that brings together several sides of Powell’s musical identity.
With Cherry, Powell continues connecting the independent hip-hop world he came from with the alternative music community that has increasingly embraced his work. The album arrives as he prepares for additional live performances, including appearances alongside Grieves.
