Peace.

Been a while since I posted a blog. I’m a studio caveman so pardon my lack of communication on this blog.

Since Port Authority dropped I’ve been nominated for a Canadian Juno Award for “Best Rap album”. Contributed production to forthcoming projects by Large Professor, Rakim, Heltah Skeltah, DJ Revolution & Russell Peters (Canadian Comedian & soon to be HUGE in the U.S.).

I’ve also had the privilege of touring Europe twice this year. 1st time with Supastition & Illmind. 2nd, with EMC & Torae.

SEGWAY TIME…

Torae and I have been working on a new project tentatively titled “Double Barrel”. We’ve took our time with it and I’m confident to say its 90% done. Seeing this is my first full album production since PA I’ve been extra critical with the material. The usual suspects have been involved in the shaping of the album (Shylow & DJ Linx) who both played a HUGE role in Port Authority.

This album is Hardcore, Boom Bap, Hip Hop at its finest. Torae and I both brought our A game to the table. I’m amped to be working with such a hungry, talented and more recently FEROCIOUS MC. Make sure to add Double Barrel as a friend if you haven’t. (Peep my top friends, 1st row).

I DESPISE speculating release dates but I’m hoping for the project to drop early 2009 with the label situation TBA.

So with this album being wrapped up I’ve started mapping out Port Authority 2 (working title, not final). The idea of doing this record stresses me out LOL but I’ll be using the crazy energy from the Double Barrel album to jump right into my solo producer shit. I’m excited though.

Stay tuned, and as always I appreciate all the comments, messages & anyone who checks out my music. I wouldn’t be shit without y’all.

Peace,

Marco
