Atlanta hip-hop artist MARCO PLUS has officially launched his next chapter with the release of his highly anticipated album MARCO PLUS vs. tha Underworld, available now via Roc Nation Distribution.
The 16-track project marks a creative high point for the rising lyricist, blending vivid storytelling, immersive interludes, and sharp introspection. MARCO PLUS uses the album to explore both his internal struggles and the external pressures of balancing “up next” status with being “up now.”
Lead single “Out My Way” featuring Smino made waves ahead of the release, drawing praise from Charlamagne and DJ Envy on The Breakfast Club and earning heavy support from Issa Rae, who reposted the track on Instagram four times.
Tracks like “Cool It Out” featuring Kai Ca$h and Jiggs show MARCO’s lyrical dexterity, as the trio trades clever verses with ease.
With MARCO PLUS vs. tha Underworld, the rapper reaffirms his place in the conversation around hip hop’s next breakout star. This release follows the momentum of his 2024 album SOLACE, which attracted co-signs from top-tier artists like J. Cole, Joey Bada$$, Isaiah Rashad, Bas, Smino, Earthgang, Wiz Khalifa and more.
MARCO PLUS is no longer just promising, he is delivering.
