The Stupendous Adventures of Marco Polo

Since leaving his native Toronto and resettling in Queens, Marco Polo has become one of the most consistent hip-hop producers in the business. Rocking a strong boom-bap sound heavily influenced by golden-era icons like Premier, Da Beatminerz, Large Pro, and Pete Rock, he\'s carved out a nice niche for himself as one of the main go-to guys for banging N.Y.-style beats. In the past few years he\'s unleashed a grip of quality material including the albums *Port Authority* and *Double Barrel* with Torae, and worked with a veritable who\'s-who of key East Coast MCs. On *The Stupendous Adventures of Marco Polo*, he compiles a gang of rock-solid unreleased cuts from deep within his vaults, and also includes some brand-new remixes. All 16 selections are dope, but \"The Veteran\" with Grand Daddy I.U., \"The Radar Remix\" featuring Large Professor, and \"Bomb Sh\*t\" with Rustee Juxx are especially nasty.
