“Sophia Eris is on a mission” – Nylon Magazine
“The city’s next music star. Sophia Eris is the music-biz equivalent of a three-sport athlete: Radio Host, DJ, and MC.” – Mpls St Paul Magazine
MAKR AN ERIS is a Rapper/Producer duo based out of Minneapolis composed of MAKR & Sophia Eris. Mark McGee aka MAKR is a composer and producer from Richmond, VA. His projects include RONiiA, Marijuana Deathsquads, Father You See Queen, and To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie.
Lauren Alford aka Sophia Eris is an Artist/DJ/Composer from Dayton, OH who’s projects include The Chalice, GRRRL PRTY, and touring DJ for Grammy award winning Lizzo. Both raised by military families (MAKR-Navy, Sophia- Air Force), they somehow both found their way to Minneapolis in pursuit of their musical interests. After graduating with a music business degree in 2009, Sophia Eris began circulating through the Minneapolis music scene where she met MAKR in 2012. It wasn’t until 2020 that the two began collaborating with each other due to sharing the same studio space at Mid City Studios in Uptown. They shared a common love for Hip Hop which grew into a mutual respect and admiration for one another. Together the music they create invokes a nostalgic feel of 90’s and 2000’s Hip Hop reminiscent of duo’s such as Missy & Timbaland, Clipse & Pharrell, and Lil Kim & Biggie. In their most recent project ME 2, the two embark on female empowered driven lyricism combined with raw production that leaves one feeling trapped in the authentic essence that is missing from modern rap these days.
