One of the earliest heralds to usher back in the gritty, soulful boom bap of New York-based mainstream rap music, Roc Marciano‘s DNA arguably set the blueprints for some of today’s notable artists from the Empire Stare.
From any member of the Griselda camp (pick one, any one), who have credited him for partially inspiring their own sound, to rejuvenated new jacks like Stove God Cooks (who had Roc produce his latest project, Reasonable Drought, in its entirety). Roc’s fingerprints are everywhere.
Now, a year after his last project Marcielago, Roc Marci has dropped its follow-up Mt. Marci. A 16-song album, the project features from ScHoolboy Q, Stove God, Action Bronson, Kool Keith and Trent Truce.
- Intro Allegories
- Downtown 81
- COVID Cough f. ScHoolboy Q
- Wheat 40’s
- Spirit Cooking f. Action Bronson
- Pimps Don’t Wear Rabbits
- Butterfly Effect
- The Eye Of Whorus f. Stove God Cooks
- Steel Vagina
- Broadway Billy f. Kool Keith
- Baby Powder
- Trenchcoat Wars
- Wicked Days f. Trent Truce
- Garbage Pail Kids
- Crockett N Tubbs
- Mt. Marci
Per usual, there’s always a catch (at the moment): the album is, at the time of this piece, only available for sale on Roc’s website, and will arrive on the DSPs in the near future. For the time being, however, those interested can cop a copy of Mt. Marci here.
