Marcoof500 is an emerging hip-hop and music industry entrepreneur on a steady grind to the top from the underground rap world. His first album ‘The Travels of Marco’ launched him onto the airwaves in 2018, with a number of singles from the release, most notably fan-favourite ‘Take Me Away’. Gaining the rapper a steady cult following online, put him in good stead for future releases. Influenced by artists like Lil JoJo, Tay Sav and PBG, his sound is fresh and innovative.

His second release ‘Kitchen Chronicles’ landed in August 2018, shortly after his debut, again just more evidence of Marco’s fierce work ethic. Unlike his first album, the four-track EP takes a more story-telling, lyrical approach, whilst still maintaining an energy ‘hype’ aesthetic to the sparkly, high-octane production. From the swaggy turn-up hooks on bangers like ‘Honchson’, to the feel-good, smooth narrative-fueled bars of stand-out tracks like ‘Crocs and a Towel’. Nearly every track Marco writes is banger-material, or at the very least, catchy as hell.
His current project ‘Marco the Merchant’, is already in the works and due to be released soon.
