While Marco was born and raised in Toronto, after moving to NYC in 2002, he’s already made a name for himself in four-short years working with artists of caliber such as Boot Camp Click (The Last Stand—where he produced the LP’s lead-single), Masta Ace (A Long Hot Summer) and you will find his distinctive production included on upcoming projects from Heltah Skeltah, Large Professor, Buckshot, O.C., and EMC (collaborative group LP featuring Masta Ace, Wordsworth and Punchline) among many. Marco is also a respected alumni member of The Beat Society, with four shows under his belt.

Already featured in Scratch Magazine’s highly-influential “Boiling Point” section in their Jan/Feb 2007 issue, Marco’s entirely self-produced debut, Port Authority, (which will be released on 4-24-07) offers up the best of both worlds, an LP that seamlessly meshes collaborations with legendary names such as Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, Buckshot, Large Professor, Sadat X, O.C., AG, Ju Ju (Beatnuts) Ed O.G., and Kardinal Offishal, with the top up-and-coming lyricists of today; including— Copywrite, Kenn Starr, Jo Jo Pellegrino, Supastition, Roc Marciano (The U.N.) and J Davey.

Port Authority was a labor of love for Marco, as he laments “This album represents the last three years of my life. My big move to NY from Toronto four-years ago and the musical growth I’ve gone through while finishing it. It represents a part of Hiphop that is slowly and undeniably withering away. This album also represents my efforts to unite dope artists and make music that has lasting power. My project is not a compilation, it’s my “Soul Survivor” (Pete Rock) and Port Authority will attest to that! People that loved Rawkus back in the day, this album will remind you why, as it takes things back to the classic era of Rawkus Records.”
