Roc has a new solo album dropping this year titled Rosebudd’s Revenge. If he’s able to match the quality of Marcberg and Reloaded then he will have delivered a true classic rap trilogy. In the meantime, I thought I’d revisit his back catalog and select what I consider to be the sixteen definitive Marciano records…
As a founding member of The UN with Roc Marciano, Dino Brave has experienced a lot of Long Island rap history first hand. Inspired by the Spectrum City crew coming up (which would later evolve into Public Enemy), Brave had his time in the spotlight cut short thanks to bad timing in the crumbling music…
Schott Free just blessed his Instagram with the track listing for an early version of Roc Marciano’s debut solo project, back when it was intended to drop on SRC Records. As you can see, only a portion of these tracks made the final version (albeit with some changes to the names and spellings). Here’s what…

Here’s a brand new Phillip “Half-A-Mill” Mlynar sure-shot: There was only one rap album that mattered in 2010 – and it wasn’t by anyone who felt the need to show their dark twisted appendage to the world. That project, Roc Marciano‘s Marcberg, was critically untouchable, the most unadulterated example of the potency of New York…
Photo: Alexander Richter The first time I spoke to Marciano, his UN crew had paired down to him two members and he had just landed a solo deal with SRC, with plans to put together a project for early 2008 release. Since then, he was pretty much MIA for a couple of years with the…
