Roc Marciano
 

desperately needs a thread.

Been around for about a decade, has been featured on quite a few Pete Rock tracks, released an album with his underappreciated crew The UN in 2004, and his first solo album, fully produced by himself in 2010. He also released a mixtape titled Strength & Honor a couple years back, I don't really remember when.

Tracks from his solo album Marcberg:







Tracks from The UN's UN or U Out:

I'm digging this. My mind is not immediately blown but I have a strong suspicion he's a major league grower.

You have to listen to him more, you know?

Download Marcberg. It's worth buying, too.

That's the plan. :)

Marcberg is really good. It sounds intentionally underproduced and it gives it that extra old-school gangsta vibe. Really good album.

Is there a difference between Marcberg and Marcberg1?

I think you just got the same download I did. Were all the titles or file names in caps, or something?

Pretty sure you're fine. Just look up the tracklisting and compare?

Yeah, everything was in caps and comparing the tracklist to Amazon there seemed to be one extra song ("Hide My Tears"). It's weird because I noticed that one of the youtube videos you posted is also labeled "Marcberg1".

so did you get around to listening, Janszoon?

also, bump for the sleepers...

dude i've had "pop" on my playlist for a while.

jester-you cop that "greneberg" album? It's gangrene(alchemist and oh no) and roc.

It's got that same not-quite-there vibe as their 1st el-p, but it has some gems.



apparently roc goes way back....dude used to be in busta rhymes click

"Pop" is great, and yeah that Greneberg shit was nice, "Momma Told Me" is dope

yeah Roc's been around for a while, you ever heard some of his old cuts? this one's a favorite, straight kills some heavy Pete Rock keys:



by the way, Roc's got a guest appearance on Evidence's upcoming Cats & Dogs album

i'll peep anything Roc Marciano touches... can't wait for another album by that dude, wonder how long it'll be though, took the dude like a decade+ to drop a solo

another thought: dude's one of the greatest slant rhymers out there, and he can carry a dense multi-syllabic rhyme scheme better than most

I've got that UN U Out album, I didn't realise Roc Marciano was involved with it. I've heard allot of buzz about him lately, maybe I need to stop sleeping.

^ yes, check out Marcberg, at least some of the tracks I posted

Yeah cool I will when I get in from work.

This **** is flame.

Hell yeah it is.

All i see is dimlite visions of the ghetto when roc is playing. **** makes me wanna sell crack on the corner :P

Bumpity.

Roc's been busy as **** this year. He dropped a sequel to last year's Rosebudd's Revenge that I thought was even better than the first, but I still feel like I haven't given either a fair shot. I think a couple of other records as well.

His new record with DJ Muggs is pretty great on the first listen. Roc's on a similar vein as Ka but both have different atmospheres.
