Not shying away from her relationship with her faith, Mariah the Scientist doubles down on her spiritual devotion, opening with âHeaven is a Place on Earth.â The track ideates what the afterlife could look like, further committing her time on earth to her craft and true love. Luxuryâs temptation could never divert her prowess, which speaks to the self-built empire she stands atop.

She even coordinated drops with boyfriend Young Thug, with the albumâs lead single âFrom A Womanâ released alongside the fellow Atlanta-based rapperâs single âFrom A Man.â
With features from more musical guests like 21 Savage and Vory, To Be Eaten Alive stands as Mariah the Scientistsâ most thorough project yet.
