Yo yo yo, today we dig into another GOAT 3-Album Run, discussing the man who has Lamborghini dreams and Nissan nightmaresโฆRoc Marciano ๐ฅ
On board we have returning guest, contributing editor of Pitchfork, podcaster, writer and journalist - Dylan Green aka Cine Masai! And the album run we're talking on included 'Marcberg' (2010), 'Reloaded' (2012), a dip into 'The Pimpire Strikes Back' (2013) and 'Marci Beaucoup' (2013).
Featuring contributions from producer Nicholas Craven, rapper MidaZ the Beast, rap historian Dart Adams, beatmaker and writer SonRaw, and podcasters like Nate LeBlanc (Dad Bod Rap Pod) and The Extraordinary Rap crew...this may well be one of our finest deep dives into any 3-album run ๐ฑ
And peep our episode that we featured in this one, with producer Nicholas Craven talking on Marcberg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqhqb06I-R0
