Marlowe is a rap duo, a sonic underworld of psychedelic beats and breakneck flows that hit with wig-splitting force. A collaboration between producer/mad writer L’Orange and rap prodigy Solemn Brigham, Marlowe has set their own standard for hip-hop internationally. The two partners and longtime friends from North Carolina have released two critically acclaimed albums, headlining US & UK tours and capturing the attention of fans worldwide.

Neither mainstream nor underground, Marlowe gathers influences from the past, present and future to create something wholly unique unto themselves. From modern homages to classic psych and garage music to golden era-esque scratching hooks, from sociopolitical reflection to blisteringly witty punchlines, Marlowe has created a world all their own.

After both of Marlowe’s previous two records, the self-titled “Marlowe” and “Marlowe 2,” the group received critical acclaim, garnering multiple album of the year awards from the likes of BBC6, Yahoo! Entertainment and Amoeba Music as well as debuting as the #1 hip-hop album in the UK on iTunes. The group’s music has been featured in TV, film, podcasts & video games such as Gatorade, 7-11, ESPN, NBA2k22, Fortnite, and many more.

Following a sold-out 2021 U.K. tour, L’Orange and Solemn, along with unofficial third member of Marlowe, artist Ruff Mercy, are back and collaborating again to bring new energy and perspective to future releases.
