" He asked me was I tryinna party after my show, making a sniffing motion, implying that he had the coke for the low. Told him I was scraight. Then buddy said, in broken English, “You like Latin girls? Let me find you Latin girl to keep your belly warm.” My replay… “Nigga say what? Nah thug, I’m scraight, I’m happily married Papi.”

Why You Need to Know Him: Marcel P. Black originally came to Baton Rouge by way of Oklahoma, but has established himself as one of the city’s hip-hop leaders over the past decade. In addition to cultivating the local scene, Black has become an in-demand act on the regional circuit. Black’s rise has been an unlikely one, creating conscious rap in a Baton Rouge scene largely bereft of such content. The rapper found a winning formula in recent years by moving away from boom-bap beats to more traditional southern production. The switch reached its apex last year via Black’s excellent Cry Freedom LP.

Marcel P. Black's March Show Dates

Next month it's 6 shows, 5 cities, 4 states in 2 weeks time. No label, booked all myself. At months end I will have 9 states under my belt.

Marcel P. Black's #15StatesOrBust Show Dates

At the end of 2016, when I tallied up all my tour dates, I realized I performed in 9 different states total. I told myself, I wanted to perform in 6 new states in 2017, bringing the total up to 15. In January I knocked two states off the list (Louisiana, and Mississippi), and in the month February 5 out of 6 shows are in different states. In March I perform in 3 different states, and in April I return to different cities in the same states.

By the end of April, I will have performed in 9 different states, 14 shows total. I'm constantly looking for new cities & states to go to. Look for new dates come summer time.
