RAP APOCALYPTO!
‘Marcberg2.0‘ will be dropping hardbody gems on the boom bap rap fiends like ‘Snow pt.2’ featuring Sean Price. The track below is the straight essence of Hip-Hop. Self-produced by Roc Marci. Listen to the drums. Study the lyrics. Peep the street string violens.

‘Just Can’t Win’ off Self-Induced Illness
I’m super hyped for the Combat Jack Show later tonight.
Joell Ortiz was the first artist to give me the space to record a video of him for BluCheezTV. I’ve watched him develop into one of the nicest emcees currently in rap music. Through hardwork and perserverance he has pushed himself in the music industry. Celebrate this young man’s success with me internets.
He is we, and we are he.

I’ve been sighted on these pages before mainly via the Sneaker Fiends Unite! NYC tours and subsequent kicks write-ups… You all know my Nike game is proper, so don’t even front on the heir apparent to air.
What some of you don’t know though is that I moved to Beijing, China this summer just to take the movement to an international level. I know china has a reputation for fake Jordans and knockoff Gucci bags, but in the end isn’t getting it however you live it so Hip-Hop? Please believe that Beijing doesn’t play when it comes to rocking the official tissue either.
So I’ve been moving and building during the last couple months, hitting the studio to drop mixtape trax and to start developing an album, plus linking with heads all over Beijing. The beautiful thing about Hip-Hop here is that it is still a subversive movement. Too young to be pop, too street to be censored, and too foreign to be mainstream.
What this translates to is passion for the culture. I’m talking about top emcees who still get up with pieces all around the city, hiphop parties with the top emcees rapping over the top DJ’s spinning while the city’s best bboys get down. It’s a beautiful thing.
Internets, walk with me. As your DP.com foreign correspondent I will be staying in the streets with my pen and pad, camera and notebook. As I live, record, perform, and travel daily throughout Beijing, let me put y’all on to what is, for 1.3 billion people, the local Hip-Hop scene.
