For this brand new edition of our Q&A segment, i spoke with another great up & comer, Marcus Nogood. Marcus has been on my radar for some time now because of his solid music, but he has been making some big moves as of late. Read the article below to learn some more about Marcus, & after listen to his music catalog here.
EM: First things first, give a brief introduction of yourself for our readers that may not be familiar with you
MN: Waddown bro. So I go by Marcus Nogood, aka Señor Nobueno, aka Mr. Check My Credintials. I’m a recording artist/rapper – song writer. I’m orginally from Hyde Park, Chicago. Right now I’m from all over the place from Lakeview – up north, all the way down to the south west suburbs. I’m heavily affliated with EMG (Enjoy Music Group), which is a music collective, marketing team, soon to be publishing company, not a rap group. It consists the likes of myself, Xpose, Wize and GOLDEN, as well as our streetwear team
EM: When was EMG created?
EM: When did you start making music?
EM: Who are your top five influences when it comes to rap?
EM: While we are on the subject, who are some of the younger Chicago rappers that you’ve been rocking with?
MN:MOTM 1, MOTM2 both by cudi, late registration by ye, the cool by lupe fiasco, and to pimp a butterfly by kendrick. I also really want to add take care in the by drake lol just count both those cudi albums as one! For mixtapes i’d say 10day and acid rap by chano, kush & oj by wizzle. Live Love A$AP by A$AP rocky, and overly dedicated by kenny
EM: Some of my favorites on that list as well. How would you describe your music to someone who has never listened before?
MN: Man g in all honesty I’m goin thru a heavy transitional stage as an artist. All my new shit has different energy than my old shit but versatility is key for me. And I seem to definitely shine on that aspect when putting a body of work together, so far. I’m wrapping up my second mixtape and it shows a different sound/direction than my last. Let’s just say I have a little something for every listeners taste when they take time to do their homework on my music.
EM: What is your favorite song that you have created?
MN: All my favorite shit isnt even out yet but probably ‘GONE’ or ‘PayDay’ off of Dream Beyond Fame
EM: What is one wild fact about you that people don’t know?
EM: Last question, where do you see yourself in five years?
