MARC DeCOCA

MARC DeCOCA, an Atanta born hip- hop mogul as well as an aspiring icon in the making, has managed to achieve and do so many things in a minuet amount of time. His success is limitless. One of DeCOCA main goals in life is for music to be his legacy after life has passed him by. While he has surpassed his own intentions set for himself as an artist and a CEO of his own music label, Whitehorse; DeCOCA, has been working hard on planting and watering the seed of being a rapper while owning the label. Even though this young man has very much on his plate he still has a great since of humor shown through his lyrics and music videos. One of his mix tapes titled “Monkey Sh%t” apparently is an inside joke among Whitehorse members meaning ‘ghetto’. This is a prime example of the playful banter DeCOCA tends to have when he is in positive mood. There are darker sides that tend to hit him as well. For example, Trigga would probably be a song yielded more towards the males. He sees himself as having many different dimensions. His art imitates life and depending on what he feels day to day to will affect what goes from pen to paper.

DeCOCA strives to be a diverse artist so that he can relate to as many people’s lives as possible while still staying true to himself. He feels no need to be something that he is not. He does not live in the flashes and the lights and the entourage because he feels that the music speaks for itself. If you are great lyrists then you do not need the flashes and lights because the music speaks for itself. He does not pretend to be something that he is not in order to be considered a mainstream rapper. He feels that the music will speak for itself and all he needs to do is put everything into his music. He chooses to write his own story rather than to imitate life of another’s.
