"If I Knew Stream"

Marcus Christ considers himself to be a rap prophet, and he feels he’s tasked with resurrecting hip hop back to its purest form. With these three new songs, Marcus showcases his ability to harmonize, make catchy s–t, and of course rap circles around his competition.


SONGS


NA NA NA BOO BOO (3.9/5)


‘Na Na Na Boo Boo’ is actually a meaningful track in which Marcus talks about the constant harassment that black folks get from the police nowadays. The song has this old school feel to it, as Marcus shows off his ability to story-tell over the dramatic beat. While his rapping might sound a little on the wacky side, he does flow well and show great confidence on his verses.

IF I KNEW (4/5)


‘If I Knew’ is a song in which Marcus showcases his ability to harmonize. You will find the melody that he creates on this song to be appealing, and something that will certainly get stuck in your head.

You can tell Marcus wanted to swing for the fences on his verses, as he raps with pure aggressiveness throughout. I find it dope that his verses are a contrast from the gentle sounding hook, as he aims to be a little more hood in the serenading of his lady on it.

I think this is Marcus Christ’s most impressive song musically.

THE DAY THAT YOU TOLD ME (3.7/5)


On this song, Marcus is a shell of himself, as he reminisces about the day that someone he cared about told him that they couldn’t get down with who he became. He talks about being alone now that this special person left his life, and is having a hard time accepting that they’re gone.

There really isn’t a structure to this song, which is something that kinda throws me off a bit. There is a silver lining though, and that is the fact that his words sound pretty authentic throughout. Marcus absolutely spills his guts on this song, doing something you don’t hear often from the rappers of today.

"MARCUS CHRIST: “I GET HIGH ON THE MOST HIGH” LULLS YOU INTO A DREAM-LIKE STATE"

After his critcally acclaimed debut album “Return of the Beast”, ex-trombone player, and MtB Entertainment artist, Marcus Christ, bounces back with a brand new stoner rap single, entitled, “I Get High On The Most High” – “Now I’m in a another squeeze, these niggas say I owe them cheese. I just need some cheese, please.” On this new track Marcus raps about getting high yet he’s one of the more insightful rappers around.
He’s an indie rapper who raps like a street rapper, a street rapper who works with off-kilter electronic beats and uses an alternative flow. Marcus Christ can no doubt have a comfortable career if he just rapped about partying over EDM beats.
However, while being a crazy partier could certainly be a big part of Marcus persona, he balances it with examinations of the street, the hustle and the grind other issues that both drive him and hamper him. He’s a smart dude who can do dumb shit if wants to, and his music often reconciles these two parts of himself. “I Get High On The Most High” is a prime example of this musical madness.
This track may even be emotionally and psychological trying, considering the mesmerizing flow and repetitive rhymes that in some way lulls you into a dream-like state. It’s almost like a drug-fueled dose of words – “I get high on the most high. I get high on the Westside nigga.” It’s like the intense depression after abusing alcohol, ecstasy, and cocaine, the gut-wrenching depths that always follow a high.
It’s also a slow banging track that moves Marcus Christ into new territory and sees him taking musical chances. The production supplies him with a weird, low-key, deep bass driven electronic beat that gives Marcus room to go off while also challenging him.
Marcus is pushing himself on in a forward momentum with each release, tackling a variety of beats and themes, as well as challenging whatever stereotypes people have about him. He’s continuing to evolve as an artist, dealing with his subject matter in a way that is never too dour.
“I Get High On The Most High” is a party rap track, a drug rap track, an alternative rap track, and a modern rap track all rolled into one.
MtB Entertainment’s artist, Marcus Christ, considered by many, as a prodigy and savior of Hip Hop finally dropped his debut album entitled “Return of the Beast” since release was hampered by a lengthy jail sentence. The album is now available for download at Cdbaby.com. Currently Marcus is also getting ready to release his follow-up album called “Prince of the Universe”. Exposed to music at a young age, and an ex-trombone player, Marcus was introduced to production in the US Air Force with the owner of Mad Cow Production.
Marcus Christ showcases to the world his intellectual and poetic ability. He is an artist with a message for the world, and never holds back from displaying emotion whether it be anger, love, sadness etc, even if it means he is going to be hated for it.
Every track on the album, “Return of the Beast” is solid, some of my favorites include “Let These Niggas Know”, “Laying It Down”, “I Knew This Girl”, “She Needs a Soldier” and “You Know What I’m Saying” one of the realest tracks Marcus has written.
Music on this album covers many different topics and many different emotions. If there’s a facet of the human experience that’s left uncovered on this release, I can’t think of it.
If it isn’t just Marcus Christ’s lyrics, beats, versatility or production that makes him a cut above the rest, then it is the real raw emotion, he puts into his work, making this an essential album for anyone who loves good music.
Marcus’ lyrical dexterity is all over this album and the tracks show the mind and soul that he has. There are songs that you can play in the club or at parties, as well as tracks that you can ponder over.
Unlike all these watered down hip hop lyrics that are played out and commercialized today, Marcus Christ’s music is intended to not only entertain, but to communicate powerful ideas and provoke people to think and stand up for themselves.
In sharp contrast to the usual ‘look at my wealth, I’m a gangster’ themes commonly spewed from today’s gold-chain-ignoramuses, many of Marcus’ songs have to do with relationships or personal experiences he’s had. Which translated, means reality. What a refreshing change.
The music that backs Marcus Christ’s stories is just as strong, as the album maintains its intensity and raw energy throughout. Marcus is energetic, powerful and a genius lyrically with this album, which sounds fresher than one that’s coming out next month.
He lays down his rhymes with an honest heart and a crystal clear flow. All-round you don’t even need to skip one single track here. Quite simply, Marcus Christ is not your typical rapper.

Review from Rude Boy Lifestyle Magazine: - Rude Boy Lifestyle Magazine


"Marcus Christ – Return of the Beast"

Marcus Christ’s Return of the Beast is a powerful album that ensures that fans will be provided with a backstory about a tremendous performer from Compton. Let These Niggas Know comes through with an assertive flow and a realistic view of the streets. The production’s sweeping synthesizers and cash machine-like percussion provide proper highlighting through this introductory effort, giving Return of the Beast a strong boost to its’ early-album momentum.
She’s the Coldest is reminiscent of Lil’ Flip’s Game Over. Infusing the effort with a bit of the punchline rap style of Lloyd Banks and Canibus. Return of the Beast succeeds because the tracks all have a different feel to them, all while contributing to an overall sound that permeates Return of the Beast On Tha Mic, Pt. 1 just as it does during Where You Going. Where many artists place their weaker efforts on the second halves of their albums, Marcus Christ is able to keep the disc strong throughout. Nowhere is this better heard than during I Knew This Girl. There is a more evolved sort of use of spacing and pausing, imbuing each bar spat during the track with a certain gravity requiring fans to focus in.
I Aint Gotta Show You keeps things dark and dangerous, inserting a bit of reality into an already dead-serious release. As each line is spit by Marcus Christ, listeners will know that he is speaking the truth. The bit of pop hook that is presented in this track will have fans clamoring for the single on the request line. Keep an eye out on Marcus Christ’s Soundcloud for new songs and Facebook for additional information about this unique and interesting rapper.

"MARCUS CHRIST – “NO DOUBT”"

Marcus Christ – “No Doubt” – Single Review
From his album entitled Return Of The Beast, Marcus Christ has released “No Doubt” as a lead-single from the record to put this clever hip-hop artist on the map. Will it work? That’s the question right?
There are many legitimate ways that I think this could. Despite a few minor changes or evolutions to the sound that are more than likely to take place over time anyway…I think this sounds like Marcus Christ is at that point where he’s ready to take that next step in his career. The positives in “No Doubt” certainly outweigh any potential negatives; and given the right placement, the right timing, the right crowd – Christ could set it all off at any time – there are definitely some skills at work here.
What works is in the writing to the flow itself, the lyrics & the beat…and for 99.9% of the track, Marcus is impressive in his delivery. He does exceptionally well in the verse as he rolls through rhyme-after-rhyme with a light-toned aggression and pointed lyrics that spell it all out for you as clear as it gets for you. I dig the way the lyrics come out…like the words themselves and how they’re written – that’s what I mean; as far as the connection I feel like Marcus has to them…that’s where I’m not as sure about “No Doubt” – but that could totally just be me. When I hear a tune about poppin’ bottles and rollin’ deep through the scenes with the ladies & stacks of paper, putting the hits-out on people…there’s a suspension of disbelief that I’m always looking for…just like in any kind of potential-fantasy setting in a movie, I don’t want the image wrecked by the questioning of just how much of what I’m hearing or seeing is ‘real.’ Know what I mean? There’s always a difference between living-it…and creative writing.
So what? So I don’t think he’s rollin’ around the back-alleys with his gatt & crew waiting to take out thugs…so what? The redemption comes in the Christ sense of humour and ability to continually entertain with enthusiasm and a grind on the mic that never quits. What I DO think about Christ…is that he’s probably one hell of an expert on ‘what’s good’ and that this dude is all about having a good time. The vibe in “No Doubt” suggests the kind of rapper/hip-hop artist that’s looking for those big, catchy-hooks that you can’t get out of your head for weeks no matter what you do. “No Doubt” works that way…it’s highly memorable and definitely works as a song overall – and some of these lines are jaw-dropping in their descriptions through the lyrics. “No Doubt” will make you laugh as much it’ll make you want to turn it up – and you’ll find a lot of those moments where it goes from a serious-vibe to lines written with more funnybone to them are some of the best from Christ for sure.
The beat itself is pretty classic; it’s well-produced and has that mid-late 90’s Dre-influence on the sound and style. The chorus-hook…walks that fine-line…you could say that Marcus is right at the height & top of his tone here…but that he just barely makes it; and that’s something you can audibly hear. That being said…whether it’s a struggle or not…he gets there, the tone in on-point and the hook does work. In general…I find this to be a major truism of hip-hop/rap as these voices refine their talent on the mic in search of ‘the hook.’ Kind of similar to the comedian first testing out their chops in the dramatic-side of acting; I’m not saying that Marcus is any kind of joke – the hook just has that same feeling of ‘testing the waters’ and maybe doesn’t quite sound as confident in comparison to the way he swings punches through the verse. And again…I think that it’s just a slightly more careful approach…which sounds like it stretches to get there as this rapper branches out to singing-out the hooks of his material. When you’re born to rap it out – the singing-aspect is the part that gets tested, refined and smoothed-out over time; well, it’s either that or you get those money guest-stars to drop in for the 16-bars you need.
For what it’s worth…I don’t think Marcus will need to go that route unless the mood inspires him to do so; this guy can get to the meat on the hook and tear it off…but that time & refinement spent in the game and creating new rhythms & rhymes will also pay-off for a guy like this that understands the dynamics of word-flow & song-writing as well as he clearly does. I think what we’re hearing here on “No Doubt” definitely shines a bright spotlight on the potential of what Marcus Christ can do and bring to the table – and I think that you’ll hear the best of this guy coming at you throughout this next decade as those skills refine and his determination, enthusiasm, talent & drive take him quickly towards that next-level he’s gunning for.

"Thisis50 Indie Artist Spotlight: Marcus Christ aims to save hip-hop genre with new double-album"

COMPTON, CA – Marcus Christ has a deep love and appreciation for the great hip-hop albums of all time. When he thinks about the tapes and records he listened to as a child that made him fall in love with the genre, he remembers how artists back then not only created amazing music but also put together projects that were tied together with themes that were reinforced by skits and stand-up comedy.

It’s that idea that he wants to bring back to the table for today’s hip-hop music. So his new double-album “Prince of the Universe by Marcus Christ,” will be more than a mere nod to those old albums. It will be a new version of that idea that’s fully embraced by featuring his own skits and stand-up as transitions between songs.
“I just got out of jail in November and I have a lot to say,” Marcus Christ said. “I mix, produce and compose my own music, and this project will have one disc that features other producers and one disc that has songs I’ve created myself with lyrics that I’ve written. You’ll be able to see that I’m not an ordinary rapper – I can sing and do stand-up, as well.”
Marcus said he chose his stage name intentionally, despite the fact that it could cause some controversy within religious circles. He wants his name to be a nod to the kind of music he makes, and for him that means he’s the savior of hip-hop.
“That goes back to 10 years ago when people were saying that hip-hop is dead,” he said. “Today I don’t think it’s dead, it’s just watered down. And so this album is gritty, underground truth with unadulterated truthful lyrics. I’m bringing something to the game that you’ve never seen before. I’m igniting a spark and providing a catalyst within the hip-hop genre. At the end of the day it’s more about bringing a reality to something we can hear. It’s about bringing more entertainment through these stand-up moments throughout the album. There are not a lot of rappers who rap and sing, either. So through all of those things I want to be able to give people inspiration that there is still real music out there and somebody is writing songs that people can relate to and listen to on the bus or driving home from a long day at work. I want people to understand that I’m not an ordinary artist – I’m a prodigy, and that term should not be used lightly.”
Two new singles showcase that unique sound and style. The first is called “I get high on the most high,” and Marcus said it’s a song that has lyrics that are easy to learn and sing along to. It’s a feel good song, he said, about “getting high and wearing a tie,” or “getting high on your knees.”
“It talks about God while using that main phrase on the hook,” he said. “It’s something you would smoke to and has a vibe that almost lulls you into a dream-like state because it’s hypnotic and trance-like.”
The second single is a song called “If I die tonight.” He said it’s a song that’s uplifting and he hopes that it will be inspiring for people who are depressed or worrying about their problems.

MTB Entertainment's artist Marcus Christ to delay "Prince of the Universe" album to April 3rd 2018!


Marcus Christ will delay his highly anticipated double album "Prince of the Universe" until April 3rd 2018 due to resolved legal issues.

Dec. 23, 2017 / PRZen / HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- MTB Entertainment's artist Marcus Christ had to delay his much anticipated Prince of the Universe album until April 3rd, 2018. The decision to push the much talked about album back to April 3rd was done in order to coincide with a Easter release. MTB Entertainment is hoping the holiday will pressure people to pick up the album which will include never before heard songs and skits from their main artist. Marcus Christ originally planned for the album to be released on December 7th, 2017, but due to an unrelated legal issues his label feels it's best for the fans, and in the best interest of the artist to delay the release of the new and old material. Marcus Christ had a show at the Airliner club on Broadway on October 19th, 2017, but was unable to perform due to his legal case even though tickets were sold. Marcus Christ is currently in talks for a upcoming show and may book a performance in the near future.

Marcus Christ has been heard on various radio stations, discussed in blogs, and is hoping to book a show in Hollywood or Los Angeles within a month or two. "Right now we just want our artist to relax he's been through enough" a unnamed staff member stated when asked about the status of the artist. Marcus Christ plans to release a interview in a upcoming Newsletter that can be found on his Facebook and Twitter page. Marcus Christ is becoming world renowned for his catchy hooks and realistic rapping style. MTB Entertainment maintains that Marcus Christ is not a genius, but he is a musical prodigy.

"Marcus Christ creates aims to save hip-hop genre with new double-album"

When he thinks about the tapes and records he listened to as a child that made him fall in love with the genre, he remembers how artists back then not only created amazing music but also put together projects that were tied together with themes that were reinforced by skits and stand-up comedy.

It’s that idea that he wants to bring back to the table for today’s hip-hop music. So his new double-album “Prince of the Universe by Marcus Christ,” will be more than a mere nod to those old albums. It will be a new version of that idea that’s fully embraced by featuring his own skits and stand-up as transitions between songs.

“I just got out of jail in November and I have a lot to say,” Marcus Christ said. “I mix, produce and compose my own music, and this project will have one disc that features other producers and one disc that has songs I’ve created myself with lyrics that I’ve written. You’ll be able to see that I’m not an ordinary rapper – I can sing and do stand-up, as well.”

Marcus said he chose his stage name intentionally, despite the fact that it could cause some controversy within religious circles. He wants his name to be a nod to the kind of music he makes, and for him that means he’s the savior of hip-hop.

“That goes back to 10 years ago when people were saying that hip-hop is dead,” he said. “Today I don’t think it’s dead, it’s just watered down. And so this album is gritty, underground truth with unadulterated truthful lyrics. I’m bringing something to the game that you’ve never seen before. I’m igniting a spark and providing a catalyst within the hip-hop genre. At the end of the day it’s more about bringing a reality to something we can hear. It’s about bringing more entertainment through these stand-up moments throughout the album. There are not a lot of rappers who rap and sing, either. So through all of those things I want to be able to give people inspiration that there is still real music out there and somebody is writing songs that people can relate to and listen to on the bus or driving home from a long day at work. I want people to understand that I’m not an ordinary artist – I’m a prodigy, and that term should not be used lightly.”

Two new singles showcase that unique sound and style. The first is called “I get high on the most high,” and Marcus said it’s a song that has lyrics that are easy to learn and sing along to. It’s a feel good song, he said, about “getting high and wearing a tie,” or “getting high on your knees.”

“It talks about God while using that main phrase on the hook,” he said. “It’s something you would smoke to and has a vibe that almost lulls you into a dream-like state because it’s hypnotic and trance-like.”

The second single is a song called “If I die tonight.” He said it’s a song that’s uplifting and he hopes that it will be inspiring for people who are depressed or worrying about their problems.

"Marcus Christ (@HotIce07) – “If I Knew”"

Compton, California rapper Marcus Christ presents the new Nime Five-produced single for “If I Knew”, from his forthcoming album Prince of the Universe on MTB Entertainment. Marcus’ previous work includes “I Get High On The Most High” (Soundcloud) and “If I Die Tonight” (listen). Marcus says his new single can have many meanings, “but to me it’s about not being prepared or knowing what lies ahead or in the pasts. I wrote the song with a woman in mind, and now I think off my own possible future offspring when I hear it. So, the song can be related to by a person that may wonder about an important personal relationship without knowing something else for sure.” - Digiindie


"Marcus Christ- If I Knew"

Marcus Christ returns in 2018 to bring audiences a deeply personal track with multiple layers of vocals that help bring out the emotional intensity of its subject matter. The rap verses are where the story lies, the depth, the honesty, and for the most part – the vocal skills of the artist, the ability to entertain and keep things moving and forever evolving. The story-line comes through in a realistic way during these verses, and the beat has a very classic hip hop style to it that represents the struggle and the darkness effectively.

The song’s hook is what kicks things off on this release, the concept takes shape a little later on, but this melodic, multi-vocal moment has a lot of volume to it. The opening riff of the song works well and really adds to that classic or vintage hip hop feel – it brings a fairly haunting ambiance about, as well as giving you something to really recognise the track by. Then when it comes to the writing, the expression, Marcus Christ doesn’t hold back – the lyrics appear as genuine thoughts and experiences, presented in an authentic and believable way; the sort of music that means something to the artist first, therefore striking as a little more poignant for those who witness it.

Marcus Christ’s music definitely takes a little of what is well known or powerful in hip hop, musically speaking, and fuses it with his own take on expression and performance. Certain moments within the verses flow really well, and as stated – that real emotion that is the underlying essence of the song is detectable throughout. The song has the potential to hit hard, perhaps in a live setting the passion would be further intensified.

"Marcus Christ – I Don’t Care"

I Don’t Care is a club banger from southern style hip hop artist, Marcus Christ. The single makes use of echo and dramatic synths to create an escalated sense of excitement throughout the song. Marcus’ delivery is characterized by a laid back and methodical demeanor, like when someone speaks slowly but with an intensity that tell you they absolutely mean business. It’s a pretty straightforward and high quality club jam, but I could picture people enjoying this on a late night drive through the neighborhood with friends lookin’ for the next kick back and just having a ball. One gets the sense that stylistically there is some 90′s west coast influence. What began as a hobby for Marcus has evolved into an illustrious career. Previous time spent in jail has only served to be a source of renewed inspiration for this determined and seasoned hip hop artist.

"I’m Gangsta by Marcus Christ"

Underground hip-hop artist and rap legend Marcus Christ is on a mission to restore rap music to its traditional form. Widely-known for his nostalgic flow and politically-aware bars that can free imprisoned minds, Christ’s lyrical vision offers a 360-degree scope of reality as the subject matter of his rhymes consist of varying perspectives. His recent single entitled I’m Gangsta is one urban calling-card that perfectly demonstrates Christ’s lyrical genius.

I’m Gangsta affords Christ the opportunity to get down to the cadence of artistic business with its fiery, but colorful beat. Christ’s gangsta-hood is delightfully sarcastic, often drawing analogies between social injustices and demeaning stereotypes. One interesting thing about Marcus Christ’s wordplay is that it is crisply inventive and never dated or preachy. Christ uses I’m Gangsta as a slogan of inspiration for being all that you can be while avoiding the vices of life.

"Marcus Christ – Black Bag"

Marcus Christ pulls no punches with new single, forthcoming EP

LOS ANGELES, CA – Born in 1983 in Silver Springs, Maryland, Marcus Christ has grown to become a leading underground hip-hop artist from a generation that emerged in the wake of the influences of Tupac and Michael Jackson. Originally hailing from the Washington D.C. area, he eventually moved to Compton, where his father was from, and found himself melding a variety of styles and musical influences as he developed his own unique sound and style. And then, just when things were about to take off with his music, he found himself incarcerated because of implications associated with things he said that led to charges of intent to kill.

But now, after eight months in prison, Christ is ready to pick up where he left off with the launch of his new album “Prince of the Universe.” It’s a project that not only showcases his unique talent, but also nods to the lessons he learned through the ordeal of the past couple of years. Set to release later this year, “Prince of the Universe” will be an unabashed honest look at the world through Christ’s eyes, with music that he knows will entertain the masses.

“Sometimes the state can be wrong, and if the state law contradicts the federal law, then the state law is void,” Christ said. “People can get charged for saying something violent, but freedom of speech includes all kinds of speech. You can’t charge someone criminally for saying something – like if you say you’re gonna kill someone because you’re mad in the moment, you can’t charge someone for that – but you can take them to civil court. There needs to be a stop to infringing on our freedom of speech, and with this album I won’t hold back from saying whatever needs to be said. I like to do a lot of reality songs – whether that’s about girls and relationships or just life situations. When I rap, I’m spitting and talking about things realistically happening, and trying to portray things as close to as what I’m seeing as possible. If I see a guy calling his girl a bitch, I’m gonna put that in my music. I want my music to be known for being honest – good or bad, whether you like it or not, it’s honest. If the art is correct, whether you like it or not, you can’t be mad at it or at the artist.”

A good example of this unabashed honesty comes through one of his debut singles from the project, “Black Bag.” Embracing a chiller vibe that is perfect for getting stoned or just relaxing on the weekend, “Black Bag” challenges people to look at all the ways that love can be expressed and embrace those things instead of being judgmental and critical.

“There’s one line in there that’s talking about seeing girls kissing,” Christ said. “But that could mean anything – girls kissing their mom or dad, or their pet, or whatever. It’s all about love. To me, it’s a song that’s full of love, not hate and killing that a lot of hip-hop songs have today. If you listen to every one of my songs, you’ll see that there’s always some type of moral or takeaway – and at the end of the day my music is about what I’ve learned and hope to accomplish, not what I’ve got or how many girls I hope to date or anything like that.” - HIP HOP AND HYPE


"Marcus Christ – I Don’t Care"

Marcus Christ Debuts New Party Anthem “I Don’t Care”

LOS ANGELES, CA – You may know him as Marcus Brooks, but the fans know him as Marcus Christ. Originally from Silver Springs, Maryland, this artist has made some recent waves in the underground hip-hop community. His introduction to the world of hip-hop occurred when stars like Tupac and Biggie were at the forefront, which inspired him to follow the music, naturally. After his father went to jail, he found himself delving into songwriting, which soon went beyond merely a hobby.

In high school, Marcus was an integral part of a hip-hop group called Four Six Lane. His budding career as a rap artist began to unfold, and Marcus followed the beat. “My hobby became my career. I started to figure out what I wanted my sound to be as a solo artist. It’s dynamic, that’s for sure,” said Marcus Christ. To his point, the artist feels comfortable jumping from genre to genre, as he doesn’t want to ever feel limited. Because of this, his versatility is almost unmatched, which makes him so appealing to his growing fanbase.

Marcus Christ is bringing all the heat with his new single, “I Don’t Care”. The song is a little different from his usual laid back, chill vibe, and equally, a must listen. “This is a party track. The whole idea comes from just being carefree in the club. It definitely has a dance vibe to it,” said Marcus Christ. If you’ve been in search of a good anthem that will hype you up, “I Don’t Care" will be your go-to jam. Fans can expect to see the song on his upcoming two-disc album later in the year.

On the topic of a new album, Christ is always working toward his next project. He looks to music as a way to get things off his chest- almost like a creative catharsis. As he diverts his attention to his label and developing talent through new artists, he’s excited to put the finishing touches on “Prince of the Universe”. Though as of now there isn’t a release date determined, he promises us 30 tracks of good vibes, good messaging, and overall genuinely good music. Stay tuned! - She Bloggin
