GRAMMY-nominated R&B legend Mario has joined forces with global Afro-house hitmaker Levi for one of the most unexpected and electrifying collaborations of the year. Their new single, “2 Little 2 Late,” a reimagining of JoJo’s early-2000s anthem “Too Little Too Late,” is already closing in on 4 million streams on Spotify, igniting social media and playlists worldwide.
Fusing Mario’s unmistakable, velvet-smooth vocals with Levi’s euphoric, rhythm-driven production, “2 Little 2 Late” bridges generations of sound – melding the emotional depth of classic R&B with the energy and sophistication of modern Afro-house. The result is a track that feels both timeless and forward-thinking, tailor-made for the global dance floor.
Levi continues to prove himself as one of dance music’s fastest-rising stars, following the breakout success of “JUMP” (150M+ streams, 150K+ social creations), which established him as a leader in the Afro-house and melodic club music space. Known for his bold piano stabs, tribal textures, and infectious drops, Levi brings an uplifting pulse to Mario’s soulful delivery – creating a collaboration that celebrates both artists’ strengths.
For Mario, “2 Little 2 Late” marks a defining moment in his musical evolution. With a career that spans two decades and includes chart-topping hits like “Let Me Love You,” “How Do I Breathe,” and “Crying Out for Me,” the R&B icon continues to captivate a new generation of listeners. From his early dominance on Billboard’s R&B charts to his acclaimed appearances on television and film, Mario remains a cultural force – and now, he’s stepping confidently into the world of electronic music.
“2 Little 2 Late” arrives amid a surge of crossover success stories between DJs and iconic vocalists – continuing a trend that’s blurring the lines between R&B, pop, and dance music. Much like ACRAZE and Cherish’s “Do It To It,” Dom Dolla and Nelly Furtado’s “Eat Your Man,” and Sebastian Ingrosso’s cinematic “A New Day” with Celine Dion, Mario and Levi’s “2 Little 2 Late” is a masterclass in reimagining nostalgia for the modern dance floor. The partnership joins a growing list of global hits from powerhouse duos, each proving that timeless voices and forward-thinking production can create magic across genres – and that’s the magic of “2 Little 2 Late.”
With its soulful emotion, global rhythms, and undeniable viral momentum, “2 Little 2 Late” cements Mario and Levi as a powerhouse pairing bridging eras, audiences, and cultures – and it’s only the beginning.
