Toronto-born, New York-based producer Marco Polo is dropping his new LP PA2: The Director's Cut this July via SoulSpazm Records, but before that arrives, you can check out his brand new Newport Authority 2 effort.
A statement from the artist claims that this isn't a mixtape, as Fat Beats will press the 13-song set at a later date, but for now you enjoy it as a digital freebie. Throughout the album, you'll find a couple of verses from Rakim, including the old-school soul-sampling "What's Wrong," while Big Daddy Kane spits knowledge on the fuzz-guitar-assisted "Nite & Day."
Other MCs on Newport Authority 2 include Tragedy Khadafi, Lil Fame, First Division, MidaZ and Big Gutta. Further sharing the spotlight on the gritty release, Polo also asked Shylow and DJ Revolution to add some scratches.
