Marky Embarks on “Journey to Markyland, USA: Rest Stop 2” (Mixtape Listen & Download)

After some early leaks sparked serious hype, DMV fast riser Marky has finally checked in and taken off with the release of his new, DJBooth and KevinNottingham.com EP "Journey to Marklyand, USA: Rest Stop 2", the second stop in his ongoing trilogy. So what does a trip through "Markyland" sound like? How does some of the most original samples I've heard in a minute with Marky's quietly aggressive and fearlessly independent rhyme style setting the pace. Pack your bags and hit the road with Marky. I promise you'll be glad you came. (Ok, I promise that's the end of the "journey" puns.)

Guest rappers? Don't talk about guest rappers! Guest rappers!? You kiddin me? Sorry, that was a somewhat obscure Jim Mora reference intended to highlight the fact that Marky's flying this one solo, which I admire. One man, one mic. On the production side, we're being treated to new work from The MadMan, Classixx, DJ Dyber and Thelonious Martin, as well as classic instrumentals by Dr. Dre, Danja and DJ Premiere.

You know I can't help myself. Here's one more journey joke.
