Copywrite "Mixtapes In My Sleep" w/ Mickey Factz prod by Swab

The year was 2013; I was serving 6 months for physically assaulting an officer of the law. During one particular night, I had awoken from my slumber to urinate but the dream I had awoken from was packed with all of this new music that didn't yet exist. I liked the idea, so I wrote two verses real fast and went back to sleep. Fast forward to a year ago when I was rummaging through some of my many notebooks at D1's studio and I stumbled across this little "Mixtapes In My Sleep" song. I went through some Swab bangers and picked one I felt matched the vibe of what I was talking about in the rhymes and I recorded it. It was a one take things. I'm rapping pretty relaxed in it and I was having fun. I really love the idea of putting the dj in the forefront, because in this day and age, people seem to have forgotten that all of this hiphop sh*T started with one dj. Also, about 4-5 things that either me or Mickey said in our rhymes have came to fruition haha. Speaking of Mickey, I had to enlist one of the greatest emcees of our time ( factz ! ) and voila ! We have the lead single off of my new forthcoming album, "T.H.E. LAST SUPPER" coming early 2024 on Man Bites Dog.

Omen44 feat. Tragedy Khadafi & Big Twins "Plug"

Queensbridge Projects legend Tragedy Khadafi along with Big Twins (Infamous Mobb) join Omen44 in new single/video “Plug”. The national/international Hip Hop veteran embodies the essence of the plug before it was tainted by the streets and drug dealers. Omen44 doesn’t disappoint with his signature bars and slick metaphors, weaving together Japanese and New York Hip Hop culture.

Although he displays a lyrical sickness, Omen44’s deliverance is smooth to ensure audiences grasp his message and stance. “I’m with the kings of QB NYC the plug is international JP”, immediately sets the tone and captures the premise of the record.

The trio deliver their verses amidst NYC famed cornerstones and landmarks. Both Big Twins and Tragedy Khadafi bring raw grittiness that balances Omen44’s soft hitting yet candid truths.

“Joy and Pain sunshine and Rain Amazing Grace caught in the Maze Sophisticated boom boom I know you bitches need something new I be the Ubermensch true true we be the chosen few.” –Omen44

The track flows as a well-bred dose of Boom Bap with striking keys that complement each emcee, provided by DJ Scratch Nice. The hook, “We the street pope slinging that dope bringing the loaf we be the plug running New York to ground zero,” will have Hip Hop heads crooning through all five boroughs.

What's Realness? A question almost forgotten in present times, yet still so important to ask. In a world, where most want to be something, they are not. A music industry in which its hard to distinguish the real from the fake, the walker from the talker, the original from the copy. There is an answer to that question. It's "Capital M"! "Capital M" stands for marlonhil and Mustaq Ali but also their home cities Munich and Manchester.

This Album represents Realness, "doing you", not adapting to whatever is trending at the moment. It is an authentic piece of music packed with interesting, thought-provoking, but also funny and entertaining lyrics written and performed by both marlonhil and his cousin Mustaq Ali. These Bars are backed by Golden Era HipHop influenced productions of marlonhil who also is 1/3 of the Rap Group ArOzA Crew.
