I grew up around Marcel(Mark) in suffolf county Long Island (Brentwood, Gordon Heights)...its amazing how he went from being someone who was constantly picked on and made fun of, to someone who had a successful career in entertainment...i remember DJs at house parties (on Noble Street) pulling the mic cord out of the mixer, while he was rapping...he was that bad at one point...but he always had that passion for hiphop, and he would keep showing up... he was a very "different" kind of dude.
