Summary
- Roc Marciano released his first fully produced solo album since 2013.
- The new album '656' features only one artist, Harlem rapper Errol Holden.
- Marciano expressed strong confidence in his production and lyrical skills.
Roc Marciano has released his latest solo album, '656,' marking his first fully self-produced project since 2013. The album, named after an apartment from his past, signifies a return to his artistic roots.
'656' features a singular guest appearance from Harlem rapper Errol Holden, who is also Marciano's latest signee. Holden is featured on the tracks "Rain Dance" and "Trapeze."
Marciano, who was a member of Busta Rhymes' Flipmode Squad, gained significant recognition with his 2010 album 'Marcberg.' This project's stripped-down, gritty sound was instrumental in shaping a new era for underground East Coast hip-hop.
To celebrate the release, Marciano shared a series of confident posts on social media, emphasizing his unique standing in music. He stated, "Don't compare me to nobody. This has never been done," questioning any potential comparisons regarding his discography.
Marciano and Holden recently visited Billboard's New York City office to discuss the creation of '656,' their creative process, and their developing professional relationship.
