    Reloaded is a brilliant album but it is one that requires a certain mood.

    NYC's Roc Marciano follows up his 2010 critically celebrated solo debut, Marcberg, with a sequel nonpareil in its originality and craftsmanship.

    On Reloaded, he's written perhaps the most vivid rap album of the year--and possibly of his lifetime.

    Grim and exultant at once, this is low-profile hustling on wax at its finest.

    Reloaded is the sound of the impressive talent behind 2010's Marcberg blossoming into greatness; one of the best written rap records of this young decade.

    Marciano has emerged with an album that doesn't so much use long-established sounds as insurance as remind why they're tried-and-true in the first place.
