In this episode of the One More Time Podcast, we interview MARCO PLUS who talks about signing with Jonny Shipes, his first time smoking, mental health, his upcoming LP "Tha Soufside Villain" and more!MARCO PLUS is one of Atlanta's hottest up and coming rappers. Recently cosigned by J.I.D, MARCO's name is certainly buzzing around the city. There is no doubt about it: the kid has BARS. He's also got a hook game to match. It's no wonder why Jonny Shipes wanted him at Cinematic. With as much weed as MARCO smokes, it looks like he fits in nicely with Shipes' Smokers Club crew as well. His last body of work, "Tha Souf Got Sum 2 Say", put him on the radar, but his upcoming project "Tha Soufside Villain" is sure to officially put him on the map. Make sure to tap in with him to follow his journey!

In this episode of the One More Time Podcast, Big Boss Fabo talks about losing YBN Nahmir as a client, earning Jonny Shipes' trust as an A&R at Cinematic, misconceptions about music management, and more!Big Boss Fabo is an A&R at Cinematic and founder of Gaijin Management. After promoting his 8th grade birthday party like it was an arena event, he quickly transitioned to putting on concerts with artists like Lil Uzi Vert, Young Dolph, and more. Looking for a high school artist to perform at a high school concert, he stumbled upon YBN Nahmir and would assume managerial responsibilities for the first time. Things went sideways, but that didn't stop Fabo from landing right back on his feet. Since then, he has discovered, managed and A&R'd artists like Big Yavo, Nuski, Yungeen Ace, Luh Soldier and others at Cinematic. With producer credits on Yavo's latest project, there is no telling what Fabo will do next!

Joey grew up around the corner from the Macy projects in Brooklyn. Initially he had his sights set on becoming an Actor and was enrolled in the drama class at his school. There he met up with his future Pro Era collaborators and they would rap at lunch, in class, after school pretty much all the time. He knew about Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole before 99% of the world did and studied them as they were coming up. He would find success early when a video of him rapping at 15 would catch the attention of Jonny Shipes from Cinematic Music Group.
