Don't let the name fool you. Producer Marco Polo is more time traveler than explorer. In the past decade, this T.O. native has been transporting listeners to an alternate dimension, somewhere between the 90s and the present. Marco, born Marco Bruno, who started making music in 1999 after buying an MPC with student loan money. The MPC and a pack of Newports as his sole accomplices, Marco made a bold move to NYC in 2001. As an assistant Engineer at renowned recording studio, The Cutting Room, MP honed technical skills and got to know some of the rap game’s finest. The Marco Polo production credit quickly began to hold more weight, with production credits with legends such as Rakim, Scarface, Phaorahe Monch, Talib kweli, Masta Ace & Sean Price. MP’s discog of features, collaborations and solo projects grew steadily, leading to the 2007 release of the critically acclaimed “Port Authority.” This debut production album – featuring a who’s-who of MC heavyweights including Large Professor, Kool G Rap and Buckshot – was a career milestone that claimed his place as one of the new school’s most respected beatmakers. The production credits continue to grow and MP has been touring the world. He is expanding his creative horizons into the world of licensing, landing some noteworthy soundtracks, including “Kick-Ass 2”. His original production was selected as the official theme song for the Brooklyn Nets on the YES network . Up next Masta Ace x Marco Polo LP coming November 2018. #StayTuned
