MC Bravado follows Marc’s lead, showcasing his lyrical prowess. Moreover, with hard-hitting punchlines over the Boom-Bap-inspired instrumentation which channels the golden era of 90’s Hip Hop. Vocalist Allison Balanc provides the perfect amount of soul with her soothing voice on the chorus. “To be considered a Hip Hop artist, you must be true to the craft”. These are facts from the DMV representative.

Marc 2Ray is not only a Hip Hop artist but an educator. With a background working as a therapist for children on the autism spectrum, Marc has music in curricula at multiple schools such as St. Petersburg College. Coming from a family of Armenian Genocide survivors and Holocaust rescuers, this inspired him to create songs such as “1915,” which led to worldwide renown and live performances in Times Square, outside The White House, and The March For Justice in front of thousands of people. Marc has also opened for rap legends such as Inspectah Deck and Cappadonna of the Wu-Tang Clan, Scarface, and Smif-N-Wessun among others.
