MARCO PLUS & Boldy James: The duo team up to take on ‘jamal crawford’

MARCO PLUS and Boldy James deliver ‘jamal crawford’

The melodic production is pure bliss. But how about getting signature bars courtesy of MARCO and Michigan’s own Boldy James? Say less.

Today, Atlanta’s hip-hop artist MARCO PLUS returns with his latest single, “Jamal Crawford” featuring Boldy James, available now on all streaming platforms via Roc Nation Distribution.

“Jamal Crawford” finds MARCO in his element — reflective, sharp, and surgically composed. Trading bars with Detroit’s Boldy James, the track pairs crisp, cinematic production with verses that balance hustle, faith, and survival. Both rappers deliver vivid snapshots of ambition and resilience, using the Jamal Crawford metaphor to capture the precision and creativity needed to thrive under pressure. 

With lines like “I speak to n**s’ souls, these rappers can’t” and “It’s me against my fears — Jamal Crawford how I make the cross,” MARCO channels hunger and self-awareness into controlled aggression. Boldy’s verse complements the tone perfectly; dark, methodical, and street-grounded, cementing “Jamal Crawford” as a collaboration that bridges the raw edges of Atlanta and Detroit. Adding to the buzz, Jamal Crawford himself teased the record on his IG story. Visualizer available HERE.

The release follows MARCO’s standout single “Juicy Crab” featuring SwaVay and comes shortly after his Breakfast Club  interview, which further spotlighted him as one of hip-hop’s most promising new voices. It also builds on the success of his 16-track album MARCO PLUS vs. tha Underworld, featuring Smino, Kai Ca$h, and Jiggs — a body of work praised for its storytelling, technical precision, and emotional depth.

Most recently, MARCO appeared on Kai Cenat & On The Radar’s Mafiathon 3 to deliver a fiery freestyle, and is set to join JID’s GOD DOES LIKE WORLD TOUR on select stops beginning November 6. 

With a deluxe edition of MARCO PLUS vs. tha Underworld on the horizon, “Jamal Crawford” continues to showcase MARCO’s evolution as one of rap’s most authentic and skillful emerging artists.
