Marvel

From Rap Dictionary

Biography

Hailing from the Alexandra Park Co-Op housing in Toronto, Canada, Marvel first emerged as a member of the ten-deep Circle crew that spawned the careers of Kardinal Offishall, Choclair and Saukrates. It was with the latter that he traded jaw-dropping verses on the grim resignation of the minimalist “Hate Runs Deep,” unquestionably one of the finest tracks to emerge from Toronto’s late ’90s hip-hop resurgence. He came out with an independant EP titled "No Streets" abetted by K-OS who croons the hook on the off-kilter “Cobwebz” and blesses the mic on a reworked version of his own “Follow Me,” lamenting a sheep mentality — something that Marvel cannot be accused of on this evidence.
