Marcus D Wins The Red Bull Big Tune

Over the weekend, my friend Marcus Marino, also known as Marcus D took first place in the Red Bull Big Tune competing for the best hip hop beat held at the War Room.

“Marcus D is 19, and the first beat he played last night was positively monstrous. Any great rapper would love to have rapped on it. Any mediocre rapper would have been dead scared. I could tell right away he would win.” – Andrew Matson [Seattle Times]

Marcus D and second place winner, KD Cutz will travel to Atlanta to compete in the finals.

Occupation: Hip Hop Producer, Day Job: Student

Earlier this week, I ran into my friend Marcus (who I would later find out goes by his stage name as well: Marcus D.) who reminds me of Elan Wright from Danger Radio. I promised Gelesia Boo that I would send her a picture so I snapped one on my phone but then he and I got to talking and I learned that he was actually a music produceer and a very talented one at that

He’s pent workfor Be a reality soon. He’s a student, so he hasn’t got all of the the i that he wanted to be a music producer. He seems really talented, maybe someday we can hook something up together, that would be interesting!

He’s produced for Seattle’s very own Blue Scholars and worked with many underground hip hop artists within the area. He’s really starting to build his experience up, the more artists he works with, the more he’ll understand the production process. Hopefully, more and more artists will want to work with him, and his career will take off soon.

You can always check him out on his website and listen to his music on Myspace. You won’t be disappointed.
