Taken from hiphopgame.com:

In an effort to promote his debut album Port Authority, producer Marco Polo has teamed up with DJ Mick Boogie to release The Newport Authority, which features some album cuts and exclusives along with tracks Marco has produced in the past.

“This mixtape shows the past, present and future of what I’ve done as a producer up until now,” Marco told HipHopGame. “It includes songs I cut from my upcoming album Port Authority as well as brand new joints specifically recorded for this tape. This mixtape was created to give you a taste of what’s to come next from me.”

What’s next is Port Authority, which is being released on May 15 through Soulspazm and Rawkus Records. “This album basically chronicles my move from Toronto to NYC,” says Marco. “And it’s packed with some pretty legendary cats.”

The 12″ single, Kardinal Offishall’s “War” b/w Masta Ace’s “Nostalgia” and J*Davey’s “Relax” is in stores now.

In light of the recent crackdown on mixtapes, The Newport Authority will be offered as a free download, but that’s not stopping Marco and Mick from pressing up official copies.

There is an insane amount of scratching on my album (and I wouldn’t have it any other way…). The cuts are provided mostly by DJ Linx but with other guest DJ’s including DJ Taktiks, DP One and the one and only DJ Revolution. Ain’t nobody f*cking with the quality of DJ’ing on my record!

I’m currently finishing up my mixtape (even though I f*cken despise mixtapes). My “untitled” mixtape will be mixed by Mick Boogie (this guys is everywhere right now!) It will include joints I’ve produced in the past, upcoming joints from “Port Authority” and brand new songs specifically for this tape. It will feature material from Kardinal Offishall, Large Professor, J*davey, Grand Daddy I.U., Skyzoo, Torae, Copywrite and many many more.

Any press inquires can be emailed to the great Matt Conaway @ Matthewbrn@aol.com.
Any tour/booking inquires can be emailed to Jim “Michigan” Drew @ jim@soulspazm.com
And as usual any production/beat inquires can be emailed to @ info@marcopolobeats.com
Anyways, just wanted to post this update to let everyone know the deal.

peace,

Marco

yezzzzzzir. Been a minute since a posted any updates so MY BAD!!! I’ve been busy in the lab putting the final touches on my new solo album entitled “Port Authority”. Some may say I’ve been taking my time but I promise it will be worth the wait. NO BULLSH*T!!!

As of right now it looks like the album will be dropping early to mid 2007. More info including the label and tracklist coming in the next few weeks.

Also, check for your boy MP in the next issue of Scratch Magazine in the “boiling point” section. I believe it’s the Jan./Feb issue. I have no idea who’s on the cover but I’ll post that info when I know.

I’ve added new beats to the “buy beats” section so all you MC’s yoddle at me for prices… I appreciate everyone hitting me up for production but please remember this is not a charity over here, be respectful and come correct when it comes to business and I’m sure we can work something out. I DO NOT SELL BEATS FOR $200 so don’t waste your time!!!

Besides that, don’t forget to pick up the latest album’s from The Boot Camp Clik and Sadat X that both feature new MP productions!!!

Peace Y’all, wassssss goood???????

First off, thanks to ilango for sprucing up the website. As you can see, we got some new sections happening (pics, buy beats, press links…) So feel free to have a look around and leave a comment in the guestbook which I check all the time!

Soulspazm/Rawkus records is re-releasing Pumpkinhead’s “Orange Moon Over Brooklyn” which yours truly entirely produced (minus the one Moss produced heater). The re-release date is October 3rd!

Our prior distributor STUDIO (who sucked ass for the record.) went out of business while this album was still fresh in stores and never really received the reach and ship out #’s it deserved. So if you ain’t got it, cop it because it should be in more stores this time around.

More info on my upcoming solo album coming soon also.

peace,

Marco

Peace y’all. Wassss good???

I haven’t updated the site in a minute because we’ve been working on a updated design for the site which I’m extremely excited about. Props to Ilango for always putting in quality work for the kid.

My solo producer album is coming out indrecible with more legends on the album then I could have ever hoped for. My current label situation is pending at the moment but I’m sure I’lll find the right home for my project. So far I’ve recorded tracks with Kool G. Rap, Masta Ace, Buckshot & Ed O.G. to name a few.

Also check for 3 Marco Polo produced tracks on the new Boot Camp Click album entitled “The Last Stand”. The album features the whole BCC otherwise known as “The Great 8″ which is Buckshot, Heltah Skeltah, Smif & Wesson and O.G.C. It was an honor to work with them and the joints came out incredible. Album drops July 18 so COP IT WHEN IT DROPS!!!

I’ve also recently produced tracks for Special Teamz (Ed O.G.’s click), Sadat X, Grand Daddy I.U. and my homie Shylow!

MC’s or label’s looking to purchase beats from me can hit me on myspace.com: www.myspace.com/marcopolobeats or email the kid @ info@marcopolobeats.com

peace for now,

Marco
