Roc Marciano & DJ Premier Drop « The Coldest Profession », The Hardcore Hip-Hop EP of the Year

Two undisputed legends of Hip-Hop have joined forces: Long Island MC Roc Marciano and Golden Era production icon DJ Premier released their highly anticipated collaborative EP, The Coldest Profession, on August 8, 2025.

This project is a masterclass in dark, minimalist Hardcore Hip-Hop. DJ Premier (famous for his work with Gang Starr and Nas) provides the raw, chopped samples, sharp cuts, and thumping drums that form the perfect backdrop for Roc Marci‘s intricate street narratives and complex rhymes.

Featuring 8 powerful tracks, including the singles « Armani Section » and « Prayer Hands, » the EP is a celebration of pure, sophisticated New York Hip-Hop. Critics have praised the undeniable chemistry between Marciano’s smooth, nonchalant flow and Premier’s classic Boom Bap soundscapes.

This release is a must-listen for dedicated Underground Hip-Hop enthusiasts.
