Marquis Rashard

Marquis Rashard Richardson better known simply as Marquis Rashard hailing from Long Island, New York has made quite the impact in his early musical career. On the heels of releasing his debut EP 40Acres in April of 2015, Marquis has been busy hitting the road getting his name up having traveled to New Jersey, Boston, Chicago, Austin (For SXSW) and Philadelphia to put on live performances. Having opened for artists such as Talib Kweli, Curren$y, Fashawn, Peter Rock, Inspectah Deck, Jarren Benton, R.A. The Rugged Man and Sean Price, Marquis has accomplished quite the resume in a short time. With a old school feel mixed with a new school hip hop flavor Marquis has been able to bring back that signature "New York hip hop sound". Some have compared him to a modern day Big L, some say he's reminiscent of Method Man or a east coast version of Big KRIT. Having been inspired by artists such as Nas, Big Daddy Kane, The Cool Kids, Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar marquis is still perfecting his sound trying to find his niche. The future looks bright for the young Long Island MC.
