Based in Beaumont, Texas, hip hop artist Elijah Nathan Davis makes cutting edge rap music under the moniker ELI MONTANNA. Starting out as a sound engineer for multiple record labels, he learnt the production skills that would allow him to unlock his sonic vision and bring it forth entirely on his own.
In 2018 he took steps to move forward as a solo artist and gained traction under his former alias ELI PLM with his music going viral on Twitter. In 2020, he decided to switch his name to ELI MONTANNA and dropped his first album under the name with Montanna.
Over the last two years he’s released an astonishing amount of music with several singles and three further full-length records serving to deliver his sound as well as showcase his prolific songwriting, performing and production talents. Releasing his fourth LP with the twelve-track High As Heaven this year, he now brings us his latest work with his brand new single titled “Contagious”.
While working on his upcoming fifth album, ELI got sick which caused a brief hiatus to the production process, leading to the inspiration for his new single. Despite feeling unwell, the artist struggled through the sickness to record the track regardless.
Laying down his trademark trap-style hip hop sound, on “Contagious”, ELI MONTANNA delivers a softly driving energy with a subtle beat and relentless vocal flow to offer a reflective song that’s testament to his determination and artistic skill.
