Marcus Christ drops brand new single

Coming out of California, Marcus Christ is a hip hop artist driven by intention as much as talent. Operating independently through MtB Entertainment, his approach to music balances intellect and experience, where sharp awareness meets emotional honesty and collides with slick rap delivery. It’s a style that shapes everything he creates, giving his work a sense of purpose that cuts deeper than surface-level impact.

Raised within a framework that blends formal education with real-world perspective, Marcus Christ channels both sides into his artistic vision. His music speaks to the mind and the soul in equal measure, pulling from influences that include the powerful lyricism of Tupac Shakur and the timeless musical reach of Michael Jackson. Since stepping into the studio scene in Hollywood, Marcus has spent close to a decade sharing his impressive sound. His debut in 2017 marked the beginning of a steady rise, with a string of well-received singles gradually building his audience.

That momentum led to the release of his debut album Prince of the Universe in 2019, an expansive project that established his voice as a must watch artist. Then came a pause, a step back from releasing music, creating space before the next phase. Now, he returns with new material and focus, moving toward the release of his upcoming album American Pharaoh, a release that signals an exciting new chapter.

That duality feels central to Marcus Christ’s direction. On one side, there’s the grit. Tracks built with weight, urgency and a sense of confrontation. On the other, there’s reflection. Songs that take a step inward, exploring themes of pain, responsibility and purpose with a quieter intensity. Together, they form a body of work that aims to connect on multiple levels, offering both release and reflection depending on where the listener meets it.

Ahead of the album, his brand new single titled “Get The Haters Back” arrives as an emphatic statement of creative intent. It’s a track that carries the energy of a comeback, but it doesn’t stop there; it’s an energising hip hop anthem packed full of punching rhythms, razor-sharp rapped flow and empowering lyricism. Brought in by the tumble of piano keys and airy instrumental textures, the rattle of percussion ushers in Marcus Christ’s powerful vocals to lay down a gripping rap jam that’s catchy and exhilarating from start to finish.

Paired with a bold visual concept, the release expands into something more cinematic with the accompanying music video drawing from the language of classic spy and action films, pulling inspiration from titles like True Lies to build an engrossing experience. Within that visual world, Marcus Christ explores different facets of identity from the heroic and determined side which takes shape through the figure of Hercules, while a darker, more rebellious energy is channelled through the Joker. Alongside that sits a quieter, more elusive presence, influenced by the covert tension of spy cinema.
