Lacing the world with hard-hitting bangers that maintain the head-nodding traditions of that raw East Coast boom bap, Toronto\u2019s Marco Polo is back with another classic release through Duck Down Music. Since dropping Pumpkinhead\u2019s Orange Moon Over Brooklyn in 2003 on Soulspazm Records — Marco\u2019s first full-length production — until his latest 2010 Duck Down release with fire spitter Ruste Juxx, The eXXecution, Marco Polo has collected a catalog of records that would make any new jack producer second guess his career path.
\nThroughout his eight-years of relentless recording on critically acclaimed albums Port Authority, Double Barrel and The eXXecution, the numerous unreleased tracks, b-sides and remixes that are as ill as the rest, but never found a home, have been collected and compiled by MP to create The Stupendous Adventures of Marco Polo. \u201cMy crew and I, which includes Shylow and DJ Linx, put a lot of work into this music and just because something is older and has never been released doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s scrap — we put a lot of work into it and we want people to hear it,\u201d explains MP. Marco further laments, \u201cthere are a lot of tracks on here that were never available on CD before, or even iTunes.\u201d
\nBlessing MP\u2019s production on The Stupendous Adventures of Marco Polo are rhyming heavyweights like Large Professor, Skoob of Das EFX, Grand Daddy IU, Royce da 5\u20199,\u201d Elzhi, Torae, Skyzoo, Ruste Juxx, and Diamond District. The album also features lesser known but equally dope artists like Red Clay, Shylow, Saga, Promise, Surreal, D-Story, Bad Seed and Arcee.
\n\u201cThis album was an opportunity for me to introduce people that my fans may have never heard of before — guys like Shylow, Red Clay and Saga,\u201d explains MP. He continues, \u201cI want people to know that when they see my name attached to something, they\u2019re getting quality and consistency. This album is for the hardcore MP fans out there that just wanna have something to rock while I\u2019m working on Port Authority 2. I\u2019m locking myself in the lab on some caveman status for that one.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nContinue reading to check out the album’s tracklist.<\/p>\n
