Roc gained much of his recognition as part of The U.N. (the Pete Rock affiliated crew, not the new group Cam’ron put together). Other than their 2004 album and a mixtape, Roc’s career has been based off his guest appearances & production work. Working with the likes of GZA, Raekwon, Busta Rhymes, Marco Polo & Pete Rock is a major achievement but at the end of the day, artists are judged by their own work. With the release of Marcberg, Roc Marciano finally delivers his long overdue solo album that showcases his skill on the mic as well as the boards.
　　Marcberg is truly a one man show. Roc handles all the productions & most of the rhymes (Ka’s “We Do It” marks the only guest appearance). While more known for his work on the mic, it’s Roc’s skill on the boards that turns out to be the strength of the LP. The album implements a grittiness that was signature of the East Coast’s finest albums of the 90s. Simply put, Roc’s production style is a true throwback. From the upbeat tempo of “Ridin Around” to the laid-back vibe on “Whateva Whateva”, Roc provides a backdrop that has been lacking on many albums from New York emcees in the past decade. His work is clearly influenced by the greats as “Panic” has a DJ Premier-esque vibe while “It’s A Crime” sounds like it would fit right in on a Wu-Tang project RZA was producing.
　　On the vocal side, Roc is the consummate street emcee. Although he doesn’t bring anything groundbreaking to the table, Roc is a capable lyricist who focuses on the harsh realities of the New York street life. His storytelling is particularly notable on drug related tales like “Thugs Prayer” & “Raw Deal.” Roc doesn’t come across as completely glorifying the lifestyle, but it’s hard to deny his boasting on “Don Shit” or the title track “Marcberg.”
　　Roc’s songwriting ability & flow help make up for his limited subject matter. “Snow” is a spotlight with it’s catchy hook “snow, let’s go, finesse the flow / fresh dressed from head to toe/ let em know on wit the show /we use to play the corners for dough / rain….hail….snow”. His flow is seamless on album highlight “Hide My Tears” with quick lines like “attract the fans, clap ya hands, unstrap ya pants / rap cats don’t stand half a chance / got big gats back at the ranch”.
　　With Marcberg, Roc Marciano has delivered a solid, albeit overdue debut. While it’s not without its faults, the album is carried by its strengths – Roc’s flow & his impressive production. It feels as if Roc is capable of more, especially if he can expand himself as an emcee. Although it’s not on the level of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 or The eXXecution, Marcberg is a sign that the signature East Coast sound is alive & well as this is one of the best produced albums of the year.
