MARCO POLO - PA2: THE DIRECTORS CUT

In 2007 Marco Polo drop the now legendary Port Authority album, a true collection boom bap hip-hop beats with some bonafide legends of the game. "The Radar" featuring Large Professor, "Marquee" featuring O.C., and "The Radar" featuring Masta Ace to name a few. For his sophomore release Marco has gone bigger and badder!

Port Authority 2 is five years in the making and truly lives up to the 'Director's Cut' tile, including 19 tracks, a laundry list of legendary EMCEE's (old and new), with well over an hour of heat. THIS is how hip-hop should be done, and this epic offering is an instant classic. Slice Of Spice is proud to present the vinyl for this project, in collaboration with Soulspazm and Spaghetti Bender Music, including a beastly x3LP pressing of the album, and a Bonus 12" for those who support the Special Edition Color x3LP and Collector's Box Set editions.

Marco Polo ft. Organized Konfusion "3-O-Clock" - FREE DOWNLOAD

"This shit is called Astonishing for a reason.  Enjoy. PA2 coming soon."
-Marco Polo

It’s been six years since Marco Polo took the hip-hop world by storm with his Rawkus/Soulspazm Records debut LP, Port Authority. This album not only established the Toronto, Canada native as one of the top emerging producers in his field, but also transformed Marco into a very sought-after collaborator as well. He has since gone on to release the collaborative project with Torae, Double Barrel, in 2009 and has also worked with acclaimed artists such as; Masta Ace, Special Teamz, Heltah Skeltah, Buckshot, KRS-One, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Sean Price, Copywrite, Vinnie Paz and Large Professor.

After generating tremendous momentum this summer with his free LP, Newport Authority 2, Marco Polo returns to offer up the highly anticipated sequel, PA2: The Director’s Cut, which is the culmination of thousands of hours of creative energy, manpower, crate-digging, knob-twisting, Newport-smoking and coffee-bingeing, to create an impeccable infrastructure of music that will resonate with hip-hop fans across the world.

Fans have already heard glimpses of what MP has in store for PA2: The Director’s Cut, as his heartfelt dedication to Gang Starr’s Guru (“G.U.R.U.” featuring Talib Kweli & DJ Premier) not only went viral in a day, but also clearly resonated with the late MC’s friends and family as they offered up their support for the track. The LP’s most recent leak, “3-O-Clock” did what hip-hop fans have been impatiently waiting on for over fifteen years; reuniting Organized Konfusion (Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po) on the same track. Official music videos for these tracks will be released in the weeks leading up to the album. The “G.U.R.U.” video is a nostalgic tribute to the legendary lyricist, directed by Todd Angkasuwan, while “3-O-Clock”, directed by The Doppelgangaz, effectively captures the grimy and gritty New York vibe on this MP x OK collabo.

PA2: The Director’s Cut is not a “compilation” project. Rather, much like projects from the producers (Jay Dee, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, etc), that have influenced Marco, it’s a seamlessly blended piece of art featuring a who’s-who of the industry’s top MCs; each track crafted and specialized to fit each MC’s strengths. This is evident throughout PA2. On “West Coast Love” Marco displays his versatility, cooking up some premo G-Funk for West Coast legends MC Eiht and King Tee to spread their Cali love on. Further, “Astonishing” featuring Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, O.C. and Tragedy is like riding shotgun to “The Tunnel” in Doc Brown’s DeLoreon, and the shimmering “Strange Brew” with Gangrene (Alchemist & Oh No) pushes the BPMs to maximum levels. The LP’s apt closing track, “Glory” (Finish Hard) featuring Masta Ace, A.G. and Posdnuos (of De La Soul) offers up a hilarious commentary from Ace on Marco’s tedious “work ethic” and ends with commentary from everyone’s favorite beer-drinking Canucks Bob and Doug McKenzie (of Strange Brew fame) who revisit their “Strange Brew” days.

For nearly 10 years, Marco’s mission has remained the same: to keep the masses moving and their heads bobbing, and PA2: The Director’s Cut is a shining testament to that. “I put together an album that I felt picked up where Port Authority left off but updated it for 2013. I'm proud to finally let this album out into the world. It's a long-ass album and I don't give a flying #!@*. At the end of the day I'm excited with the finished product; which took me five-plus years to create. DJ connoisseurs can also expect some of finest-quality cutting courtesy of DJ Revolution, DJ Premier, Shylow, DJ Linx & DJ Romes. Moving forward, I'm seriously looking forward to touring this record and smacking them MP pads live for all those inviting me to do so. Catch me traveling the world again soon backing my big bro Masta Ace, as well as rocking some solo production sets for the hip-hop heads.” Marco states.

Marco Polo "Astonishing" f. Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, O.C., Tragedy Khadafi & DJ Revolution

With the seasons changing on the East Coast, for the latest leak, “West Coast Love,” from his forthcoming LP, PA 2: The Director’s Cut, Marco Polo heads out west and connects with two left coast legends on “West Coast Love.”  Not only does Marco display his versatility on “West Coast Love,” but he cooks up some premo G-Funk for MC Eiht (still riding the buzz from his sterling appearance, “m.A.A.d city,” on Kendrick Lamar’s debut LP and is currently readying his new LP on DJ Premier’s imprint) and the General of the Likwit Crew, King Tee.

Marco Polo "West Coast Love" f. MC Eiht, King Tee & DJ Revolution

It’s been six years since Marco Polo took the hip-hop world by storm with his Rawkus/Soulspazm Records debut LP, Port Authority. While the project not only established the Toronto, Canada native as one of the top emerging producers in his field, as evidenced by the amount of time that has elapsed between his debut and sophomore projects, it is also apparent that Marco Polo won’t release a project on anyone else’s timeline.  That fact is verified by Masta Ace, who in an attempt to find out what was going on with the verse he supplied for Marco’s new project, PA2: The Director’s Cut, (which is now available wherever fine music is sold) left this voicemail for Marco.
 
“Ay yo Marco, it’s Masta Ace, what’s going on man? I was just wondering; I did this verse for you, I don’t know, it was two years ago---whatever happened with that verse man?  I thought it was coming out on Port Authority 2? It’s like mad years now, like we talking about it, and I’m hearing about it. I’ve never seen someone take like four-thousand years to put a record together.  Anyway, if you are working on it, I hope it’s done soon.”
 
No worries Ace, here it is…..
 
Marco Polo’s PA2: The Director’s Cut is narrated by Michael Rapaport and includes features from Organized Konfusion (Pharoahe Monch & Prince Po), Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Posdnuos (of De La Soul), Masta Ace, Kardinal Offishal, Styles P, Alchemist, Oh No, Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, MC Eiht, King Tee, Slaine and Ill Bill.

The next instalment in a series of drops from his brand new album PA2: The Director’s Cut, Marco Polo keeps on with his love of the west, engaging 3 more of Cali’s finest, who take it to a dark place on “Strange Brew”. With hard hitting lyrics from the gutter water duo, Oh No and Alchemist, also know as Gangrene, and aggressive cuts massacred by the one and only DJ Romes (one third of the legendary Lootpack), this song delivers the ruggedness that you've have come to expect from Marco Polo collaborations.  Although obviously one of his favorite styles of rap to explore in the lab, this song is just one of the many flavors that Marco presents on his 19 track opus, PA2.

Marco Polo’s PA2: The Director’s Cut is narrated by Michael Rapaport and includes features from Organized Konfusion (Pharoahe Monch & Prince Po), Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Posdnuos (of De La Soul), Masta Ace, Kardinal Offishal, Styles P, Alchemist, Oh No, Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, MC Eiht, King Tee, Slaine and Ill Bill and many, many more.

Marco Polo "Strange Brew" f. Gangrene (Oh No & Alchemist) & DJ Romes

---Words By Invincible
 
"Drunken Sleuth" was written as a way to creatively call out the many forces conspiring to profit from land grabs, gentrification, displacement, voter disenfranchisement, and political corruption in Detroit. Each verse is loosely based on real stories that took place over the past five years in the city.

Since I wrote this piece many of these situations have grown exponentially worse. Bob Bobb, who was then Emergency Financial Manager of Detroit Public Schools that shut down dozens of schools and threatened to displace the block in verse one, went on to Stockton, California where he filed for that city's bankruptcy in 2012, stripping away at lifelong city workers' pensions. One year later, Detroit was forced to file for Bankruptcy, threatening thousands of pensions and city assets including parks, schools and even the art collection.

The plot thickens: the state appointed Emergency Manager (Kevyn Orr) was directly hired on from Jones Day, one of the country's largest bankruptcy firms and days after coming into his position--- hired on his own firm. This firm formerly advised and represented Bank of America and other banks that currently stand to benefit the most from Detroit's bankruptcy. Kevyn Orr also went on to hire the Manhattan Institute, the think tank that invented Stop and Frisk, to import that method and train Detroit Police in these racial profiling tactics. Speaking of racial profiling, over 50% of Michigan's Black population is now under State appointed Emergency Managers, meaning that elected officials power has been stripped by the State, and these EMs can make top down decisions without any accountability; bad money all around!

The good news (and there is good news) is that there is a growing movement on the ground doing the tireless work of exposing this madness. You can support this movement by reading the Detroit declaration and signing on in solidarity here: DetroitStateofEmergency.org
