Today we release the third in the series of Legendary Emcees on beats by Marco Polo with samples that were impossible to clear… we present “Back To Work” f/ Artifacts (Scratches by Shylow). Taken from Marco Polo’s forthcoming free-LP Newport Authority 2 as Marco states “I’ve recorded so much quality material over the last few years and I really want to share it all.
