A random meeting and a beat CD resultantly birthed A Breukelen Story, a collaborative release between the venerable veteran Masta Ace and the incredibly detailed and prolific producer Marco Polo. Fourteen tracks with prominent guests (Pharoahe Monch on “The Fight Song”, for example) all strung through with Ace’s signature skits and interludes framing the music and telling the story of Polo manifesting his vision as a NY transplant via Toronto pursuing his dream of being a renowned record producer. The Instrumental version of the album, released for RSD Black Friday on gray vinyl, features Polo’s pastiche-style boom-bap as the drum-driven centerpiece.
