ROC MARCIANO - "Strength & Honor"

Roc Marciano's "Strength & Honor" stands somewhere between a mixtape and an album, though it was released only in very limited amounts which is why I still would like to consider "Marcberg" the official solo debut. Made available on printed CD-R shortly after the release of The UN's "U N Or U Out" I want to remember it being called a companion piece to that album, which absolutely makes sense considering it does feature a lot of collaborations with the group. Placed next to Marciano's remaining catalouge, it's not a stand-out by any means, but it's definitely a solid listen and features some stellar production work from Pete Rock, Nottz, and Roc himself. Thanks to ANT for the upload and for always coming through ... "Reloaded" out tomorrow!
