Biography
Rap runs in the family, and Note Marcato is proof of that. The Miami native, born Nasir Dean, always had his headphones on as a child, figuratively swimming in the world of music. When he was in 7th grade, his father, Swizz Beatz, took notice of this and told his son that he shared his father's love of music. Just a kid at the time, young Nasir didn't put much thought into the notion but produced his first five beats the very next year.
He took a break from production for two years, then returned to the beats in 2016, when he was in 10th grade. At the time, he was interning for Epic Records as well as an A&R, and used their studios for his own work in his downtime. By his senior year, he was focused on his artist career as Note Marcato and signed to Epic Records, officially working on music with a major label. The best of the bunch culminated in "Blackheart 39," his most successful song so far that blends the sounds of rock and rap. "Can't handle it, I can't handle shit/My time management, a bad relationship/But man, I love that bitch, treat her like a queen/And then she watch me slip, I'm at the icing rinks," he raps in a sing-song cadence.
Marcato sings like he leads an indie rock band, delivers self-reflective lyrics, serves flows native to hip-hop and paints his face as a skeleton, which can be seen in the video for "Blackheart 39." This combination makes his approach to rap and his persona a unique style all his own. His 13-track debut album, BeachBum Limbo has production that leans more towards the sounds of rap today but certainly has a modern rock feel to it, too. BeachBum Limbo, executive produced by BL$$D, also features beats from G Koop and Soundz, among others.
