3/5 Human, born Marco Polo Santiago, is an MC and producer from Los Angeles. His name derives from Americaﾒs 3/5 Compromise of 1787 in which the Northern and Southern states formed an agreement to count each slave as 3/5 of a person, thereby granting the South additional seats in Congress, but preserving African Americansﾒ status as slaves. Today, after centuries of systematic oppression and exploitation, the majority of the worldﾒs population continues to struggle for equality, opportunity, and life. This struggle is the inspiration for 3/5ﾒs music and this music has led him to be featured on Dubcnn today.
3/5 Human was drawn to music at an early age and has spent the majority of his life rapping and playing various instruments. In 2000, he began making beats and dedicated the next few years to developing his craft as a producer. After being in various bands, 3/5 decided to pursue a career as a solo artist and, in 2006, self released a 12-inch single entitled, Live from 1600. Since then, he has recorded with Gangsta Rap legend MC Eiht of Comptonﾒs Most Wanted and 2Mex of the Visionaries/Look Daggers.
He has also performed throughout California, Colorado, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Arizona and Mexico, opening for B-Real of Cypress Hill, Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, Psycho Realm, Ill Bill of La Coka Nostra, 2Mex, LMNO, Busdriver, Aceyalone of Freestyle Fellowship, Mystic and many more.
While inspired by many styles of music, 3/5 Human draws most of his influence from Metal and socially conscious Hip Hop of the 1980ﾒs and early 90ﾒs. Building upon this influence, 3/5 has created a unique sound that is rooted in Hardcore Hip Hop and infused with a Rock and Electronic edge. The result is a blend of politically charged lyrics, aggressive vocal delivery, and high-energy production.
Today on Dubcnn we have the download of his debut EP, “Prelude to War” which has been getting critical acclaim and on which 3/5 delivers a six-track barrage of honest, unapologetic commentary on the current social and political conditions facing us today. Whether addressing youth violence in Children of a Lesser God, police corruption in Police=Enemy, or poverty and corporate supremacy in WW4, 3/5 hopes to inspire self-empowerment and, ultimately, social action. Driven primarily by his ideals and desire to share his message, 3/5 Human is making Prelude to War available for free right here on Dubcnn and encourages people to share and distribute it at will.
