Roc Marciano's 3-Album Run | Ep. 177

Yo yo yo, today we dig into another GOAT 3-Album Run, discussing
the man who has Lamborghini dreams and Nissan nightmares…Roc
Marciano


 


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

Nicholas Craven talking on Marcberg:
