THATZ HIPHOP- Evokes memories of a time in HipHop when the music was fresh and young. MC's had their own styles and each one blessed the MIC with a lyrical prowess and depth of verse content which made the listener think. Sometimes a listener would have to listen more than once to totally get it!! MarXman's EP album has modern HipHop beats with that deep lyrical and prophetic content, just like somethin you would hear from a Rakim, Biggie or JayZ!!!
