Marco Polo & Ruste Juxx have com­bined forces to bring fans a seri­ous dose of hard­core Hip Hop. The eXXe­cu­tion is entirely pro­duced by Marco Polo with Ruste Juxx pro­vid­ing gut-wrenching vocals over heavy hit­ting drums.

Marco Polo explains that a "sim­ple stu­dio ses­sion to play beats turned into Ruste Juxx record­ing 9 songs. The joints came out so crazy that we said let's turn this into a full-length album. Working with Duck Down all these years it was only a mat­ter of time before Juxx and I got to a spe­cific project. The best part is the work hap­pened organ­i­cally. Nothing was forced. Ruste came through, heard beats, wrote, recorded…done deal. March 23rd is The eXXecution!"

The album, which is being fin­ished in the stu­dio before the new year, fea­tures Buckshot, Sean Price, Freddie Foxxx, Rock of Heltah Skeltah & DJ Revolution with addi­tional guests to be confirmed.

Tracklist & Download link after the cut. Deuces.
