Not many do, but he does - Marlon Craft has got the Homecourt Worldwide! We caught up with the New York MC in Warsaw, Poland during his first European tour promoting last year's "Homecourt Advantage, vol. 2" album to talk about bringing back the throwback era & Coogi sweaters popularized by Biggie in the 90's, his love of basketball and memories from younger years of hooping around Harlem and South Bronx, and his acting/comedy skills (and a possible comedy show?). 

The Hell's Kitchen rapper also talked going from making freestyles on old Mobb Deep beats to working directly with the legendary producer Havoc on his single "Hans Zimmer" (and not only!), getting on a track with Logic, his memorable visit at #swayinthemorning, and "Mom's Whiskey" collab & days when Kota The Friend used to shoot Marlon's first music videos. He also shared his thoughts on some personal topics such as his own definition of happiness, dedicating "Dear Life" to his beloved grandma, plus confirmed if the fourth installment of fan-favorite series "A Dollar In Quarters" will ever come out... And that's still not all. Enjoy!
