Critical Praise for Marc E. Bassy:
“It’s time we all get better acquainted with the one they call Marc E. Bassy.” – Okayplayer
“Marc E. Bassy is a fresh voice and one of LA’s own. He fits comfortably in the space between Frank Ocean and Mac Miller.” – LA Music Blog
“His bouncy flow channels the manic energy of Chance The Rapper; the animated style and tempered synths of “Cigarettes” could comfortably fit as a b-side to Acid Rap” – SPIN
“We were able to give Marc his first ever solo performance at our SXSW Showcase, and it exceeded all expectations.” – Good Music All Day
“A very unique artist, you’ll want to tune in for 2014.” – Hypnotic Hippo
The Song:
Acclaimed California producers/beatmakers DJ Mustard and Nic Nac have teamed up to release joint projects under the nom de guerre Mustard x Mayo. Having known each other since the early days of their careers, this partnership makes perfect sense. They recruited fellow Californians Iamsu! and Symba for verses and indie RnB singer songwriter Marc. E Bassy for the hook for their first release “Got U.”
“Mustard texted me at 5am and said to pull up to the studio. He never does that so I knew it was a banger. I pulled up, knocked out the verse, and the song turned out to be amazing,” says Iamsu! “Same thing happened to me,” adds Marc E. Bassy. “Nic Nac called me up at 5am and we all ended up in the studio together and banged it out. Some of us, if not all, go way back so it was only right to come together and make something.”
