Emcee

It all started during his first visit to the Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe slam in 2001. Within the first year of performing poetry as the MarXman he was featured on B.E.T’s Lyric Cafe and featured often throughout the NYC poetry circuit. The MarXman continued to evolve as a writer and performer, focusing on the connection between his words and the listener. After years of spoken word he started recording music as a hip hop artist, releasing the NeXt: the MiXtape in 2010 as a tribute to the late J Dilla. The following year the NeXt: the Album celebrated a memorable release event at NYC’s S.O.B’s. Joining forces with band UF Music Group in 2016, the collaboration would produce a live album The Rehearsal, a weekly residency and many guest appearances in the Tri-State area. No Disrespect: Volume 1 is his latest mixtape, compiled from beats found on Soundcloud. Check out his new podcast for Black nerds, X Marc’s the Black Podcast!
