Action Bronson, Roc Marciano join forces for '456' off 'Marci Beaucoup'
In what just might be the most EAST COAST thing to ever happen, Roc Marciano quietly released an absolute gem of an album called Marci Beaucoup. The darn-near-secret release (by 2013 standards, anyway) features an excellent single that finds Roc Marciano and Action Bronson talking money, drugs and hoes over a pitch-shifted Niemen sample. It's as good as that sounds.
Marciano seems to have a particular fondness for the 1974 track, as he's sampled the tune before (on his 2010 cut "It's A Crime" from the Marcberg LP). Still, rap fans have to be happy to hear Roc return to well in such an incredible way.
While Marciano's album (out via Man Bites Dog and available for streaming) is getting press right now, Bronson hasn't exactly been a slouch. He just released Blue Chips 2 and performed his track "Amadu Diablo" MTV Unplugged-style with go-to producer Party Supplies.
