That same year, he was featured on multi-platinum rapper, Asher Roth’s album ‘The Greenhouse Effect vol. 3’. In June of 2023, Marcus released his sophomore album, ‘Unique Mélange’.

The album’s singles include the UK Garage style “She Don’t Care”, the Alternative Hip-Hop “Day After Day”, “Sandwiches” a Hip-Hop/Rock fusion ode to everyone’s favorite lunch food, and “Coppertone” a tragically beautiful blend of Rap/Rock.
