A hip hop heavyweight meets masterful beatcraft this autumn, as Masta Ace & Marco Polo touch down for a rare London show. The legendary MC, whose storytelling has defined decades of East Coast rap, joins forces with Toronto-raised production powerhouse Marco Polo, together bringing a synergy that's kept heads nodding from Brooklyn to Brixton. With a catalogue that bridges generations and a commitment to the purest forms of the craft, expect profound lyricism, razor-sharp delivery and beats steeped in soulful grit.

Hosting the duo at The Jazz Cafe sets the stage for an intimate interplay between classic hip hop energy and the venue’s storied sound system. UK heads have long idolized Ace’s seminal work with the Juice Crew and his solo projects alike, while Marco Polo’s beats have become staple ammunition for rap’s top tier. Whether performing fresh material from their acclaimed collaborative album or revisiting era-defining anthems, the night promises to be a unique convergence of past and future sounds.

With Marco Polo taking control of the boards and decks for the lineup, you can expect a finely-honed selection of instrumentals and deep cuts that will keep the momentum high. Mark 10 November, 2025, as a date when the essence of golden age and contemporary hip hop converges in the heart of Camden. Advance tickets are recommended—this is set to be a serious gathering for true hip hop devotees.
