Marco.Polo5

Toronto beat maker Marco Polo likes his hip-hop beats to sound a certain kind of way, and that’s exactly how he makes them; raw, dusty, sample-heavy and with hardboiled drums that could bust the inner sanctums of even the most sturdy, fortified speakers. So when he tells you that his inspiration comes from that Golden era of rap that produced classic rappers like Q-Tip, Kool G. Rap and KRS-One, it really comes as no surprise.
