Roc Marciano is ponying up the follow-up to RR2: The Bitter Dose, but there's a catch: it isn't available on streaming platforms -- if you want to download you must do so directly from his personal webpage rocmarci.com
Roc Marciano direct traffic towards his website by posting the cover art for Behold a Dark Horse, as well as the tracklist, which includes contributions from Black Thought, Knowledge The Pirate, Busta Rhymes, Q-Tip, and The Alchemist. As per usual, Roc Marciano handled a fair share of the production himself.
Contrary to public perception, Roc Marciano is not computer illiterate or unaware of unilateral streaming and its pragmatic appeal. For RR2: The Bitter Dose, released earlier in the year, Marci made the album a website exclusive purchase at a one-time price of $30, only to re-release it on streaming platforms several months later once the novelty wore off. By all accounts, Roc Marciano will be employing the same marketing strategy for Behold a Dark Horse.
