Marks (producer)
Marks is a Finnish hiphop producer and musician, who has produced music for Kool G Rap, Om'mas Keith (of Sa-Ra Creative Partners), Punchline (of EMC), Verbal Threat, Muhsinah, Ken Ring and a pack of Finnish artists like Asa, Joniveli, Kemmuru, Elastinen, Timo Pieni Huijaus, Pyhimys, and Kova Ote.[1] In 2007, Marks was hand-picked to the Red Bull Music Academy held in Toronto, Canada.[2][3]
The artist's style is somewhat comparable to the traditional sample based hiphop from the 90's. Especially in the late 90's, some of the most respected sample-based hiphop producers were DJ Premier, Pete Rock, The Rza and The Alchemist. In Marks' music, the influence of these masters can be noticed.
