Torae and Marco Polo ThisIs50 Interview



Torae is one of the nicest hip hop artists out there right now. I finally got the chance to meet him in person on Tuesday night at the KRS-One and Buckshot album release show. Double Barrel was one of the best albums thus far of 2009, so if you didn’t cop yours yet… definitely do that. In this interview with ThisIs50, Torae and Marco Polo discuss their sound of music, they talk about their album “Double Barrel”, what they learned from being in the music industry, and more.

Torae and Marco Polo continue Double Barrel Tuesdays with this video of them at the HeadQCourterz with DJ Premier. Shout out to Torae and Marco Polo. Double Barrel is a crazy album. It must be an incredible feeling to not only hear but see DJ Premier, one of the greatest of all time, spinning your records live on radio. Not only spinning the records, but bigging up your records on air. DJ Premier speaks on the importance on making an incredible record, and being able to bring a dope live show to the table.

Torae and Marco Polo – Double Barrel Training 2

Torae and Marco Polo hit you with another edition of Double Barrel Training in preparation of their June 2nd release of Double Barrel. This time they give you a brief listen to a snippet of Danger while Torae beats the punching bag senseless and gets his weight game on. Three things are for sure after watching this video. The first is Torae makes me feel shameful for not hitting the gym EVER. The second is that a fist fight with Torae would probably mean instant death, or at least a serious concussion and missing teeth. The third is that Torae and Marco Polo have a classic album on hand with Double Barrel, which will be a must for any fan of hip hop music.

Double Barrel Tuesdays Part 7: Behind The Scenes Party Crashers Video Shoot

For the video segment of Part 7 of Double Barrel Tuesdays, Torae and Marco Polo take you behind the scenes of the Party Crashers video shoot. The official underground hip hop video should be released soon, and is directed by Kris Schackman and Theo Back. Don’t forget that Torae and Marco Polo’s Double Barrel album drops June 2nd.

The video shoot looked crazy. A lot of seriously hilarious looking nerds (I think thats what Buckshot said) running around and acting a fool. It’s good to see the Duckdown family showing love and representing for Torae. The Double Barrel album is sounding ridiculously ill so far, but what else would you expect from Torae and Marco Polo?
