At just thirteen years old, M.D.B was already recording in his family closet, tablet in hand and his mother’s phone serving as a microphone. Today, the Maryland-born artist delivers “Santari”, taken from his album “Drain”, a trap track built for those who refuse to stray from their path. Here, there’s no room for social media or fleeting relationships: M.D.B thinks only of his mission, the money he intends to stack, and the venues he intends to fill. “I can hear myself now”, he declares, as if confirming that he is indeed the one everyone has been waiting for. The video accompanying the track follows the artist facing the camera, moving between the intimacy of an interior space and the solitude of a trail, a simple staging that’s worth taking a moment to appreciate. The track was produced by Hillz x Garmvn, while the video was directed by ITSM.D.B. A track to discover without further delay, presented by Slash Music.

M.D.B, a Business Above All
Composer and lyricist Anthony Drain Jr., known as M.D.B, has turned music into far more than a passion, it’s now a full-fledged business. Founder of Beyond Great LLC, which he describes as a musical experience in its own right, the Maryland artist has patiently built his world, track by track, without ever straying from his path. From the family closet where he laid down his first rhymes at age thirteen to the writing of “Santari”, M.D.B‘s journey reflects a rare determination for such a young artist.
“Drain,” an Album That Confirms His Rise
That ambition now takes on a new dimension with the release of his album “Drain,” available since June 20, 2026, on all platforms. Eleven tracks make up “Drain,” a project that showcases the steady progression of an artist who knows his worth, blending personal storytelling with declarations of conquest. On listen, “Drain” reveals a genuine artistic cohesion, carried by sincere writing and unwavering self-confidence. “Santari” holds a special place on “Drain”: it’s the track that best captures M.D.B‘s philosophy, one of moving forward without letting anything pull him off course. What comes next looks promising for M.D.B, whose journey is only just beginning. Stay tuned.
