Roc Marciano
Reloaded
Decon
Decon Records just dropped Reloaded, Roc Marcianoβs sophomore LP, and it is nothing less than dope. This Long Island, New York emcee has kept us waiting patiently for this album, but it was well worth the wait. βTek to a Mack,β a smooth and welcoming track, kicks off the album with a taste of whatβs to come, but itβs only an appetizer because as you get further into the album you find that whole-hearty meal. Marcianoβs rhymes arenβt all about βbig booty hoes,β and βbad bitches,β theyβre about life and how we went from βrags to riches,β his struggle and hustle and this shows with his smooth rhymes throughout the album. Reloaded has been highly anticipated by fans when it was announced a year ago. The track β76β stands strong with its catchy beat and heavy lyrics. βThreadcount,β produced by the well-known American Hip-Hop artist Q-Tip, is almost a comeback for Q-Tip too, but really shows that Roc Marcianoβs name is getting out there. His βRap gameβ is tight and heβs accepting beats from others, even the Alchemist on βFlash Gordon.β This album is truly a hot one for 2012.
