Is it possible that Roc Marciano’s Marcberg has never been on streaming services before now? It definitely doesn’t seem possible, but maybe I’ve just been listening to the version that I downloaded a million years ago. Roc Marciano changed his own career when he released his 2010 solo album Marcberg, and he also changed the direction of underground rap in general. That was the album where Roc Marci first demonstrated the power of his intricately worded mutters and his evocative, atmospheric production. It established a new lane for Marciano, and a huge swath of the underground is now geared toward the style that he developed on that album.
