The following statement from Marcus Black: "the state of music is changing. Not bad, but what is bad, is that we're moving into a anti-intellectual era. I believe I have some of the ingredients for what it take to inspire and set the course straight with music,our culture, and the next generation. A real artist should teach, motivate, and entertain all at the same time. I aim to fuse what's "real" and what's "entertaining" again and push that into the "commercial" realms like it was in hip hops golden age. But I know it can't be done without your help. "Together the ants can conquer the elephant." "After Hours" EP, will be released Summer 2017. Marcus Black has two prior internationally distributed albums. (2011 'The Reawakening' and 2015 'Six Days Seven Nights').

Marcus Black can fool 'the person in the hotel lobby for 15 minutes' with his piano skills before they realize he is no teacher but still a student himself. Using these tools and God-given ideas and concepts Marcus Black engineers and produces all his music by himself. "(One day) I want to learn more instruments. I can almost imitate and recreate any sound in my head with the piano (keyboard) but I want to do the same thing with other instruments like the guitar, drums and even a violin!" My goal is to have live instruments at least once on every album. On Six Days Seven Nights, My Dad played a guitar solo on "Aviation" featuring Milly On." Marcus Black is hoping to surprise the world with another live instrument feature on his new project "After Hours" 2017 Summer.
