<p>No one consistently makes criminality sound as effortlessly stylish as Roc Marciano. His narratives consistently favor the perpetrator—and they always win. It’s a vibe reminiscent of Kay Adams acknowledging Michael Corleone’s invincibility: “I suppose I always knew you were too smart to let any of them ever beat you.” Except in Marciano’s world, the response is simply, “exactly,” before a swift exit in a luxury vehicle to pursue further exploits. And audiences eagerly consume it, every single time.</p><p>That’s certainly the case with his latest album, <span data-lab-italic="italic" class="italic m-italic">656</span>. Despite its concise length, the project is remarkably dense with lyrics that are both incisive and remarkably smooth. Here are five standout lines from initial listens.</p><h3>1. “Tried to avoid the streets, but the beef keep calling me, and I just keep eating horribly—Arby’s/Firearms in the jeep, ‘90s R&B, Sean Connery” — “Childish Things” </h3><p>In just a few bars, Roc encapsulates the inescapable pull of violence and his appetite for it, crafting a vivid image of a sophisticated gangster akin to a Block Boy James Bond. The lyrics are cutting, graphic, and impeccably polished.</p>

2. “You need a man to fix everything/You a mechanic’s dream/It’s rare you see these hands are greased/The only chance it’ll be is in Santorini, Greece”— Melo

Roc Marciano consistently subverts expectations, and his disdain for certain interactions is evident in this track, flowing as naturally as imagery of a Mediterranean escape.

3. “Air Max 360 the sweats/Had 360 waves on my head for every brush that I had with death/But not even death can make me acquiesce”— “Yves St. Moron”

The lyrical dexterity here is striking. The 360 waves, the brushes with death, and the unwavering defiance create a calm, unpredictable, and effortlessly cool effect. It’s arguably the strongest sequence on the entire project.

4. “If I ain’t top 10 the list was created by atheists”—”Trapeze”

    <div class="content " style="">

            </p>

The confidence and concision of this line, and its placement within the beat, are undeniably compelling.

5. “Cut off so many freaks that fancy me you might randomly meet an amputee/B****es missing hands and feet like some damn marines” — “Melo”

Roc Marciano’s imaginative approach to lyricism is seamless. There’s no elaborate setup for a punchline; instead, metaphors unfold organically, like a sofa concealing a mattress. The imagery of amputees is striking enough, but juxtaposing it with images of injured soldiers adds another layer of complexity. It’s a cold, calculated observation.

Now, experience the album in its entirety.
