Identity 2.0 ℠ (Return of the KINGS) ℠ 

​The Core message by Marquise. The lack of Identity and the acceptance of a false, manufactured identity is the core issue with our youth today. Our children mimic everything and everyone that they see, in entertainment; usually never finding their own self: the visionary, the creator, and the leader within.
Marquise attacks this beast called Identity Crisis head on with a fury unmatched.
His dynamic and relentless approach to snatch the youth out of the mouth of this monster is a sight to see.

Marquise is beyond qualified to discuss this topic from his multitude of experiences in life. From a solid upbringing, to incarceration, from failing classes, to earning a Bachelor’s Degree, he is beyond qualified to discuss the current trend of Identity Crisis among our youth.
​
In an effort to fight for the minds of the youth, Marquise has authored an impactful non-fiction work titled
Overstanding™ : a Comprehensive Look at Gangsta Rap Its Subgenres and Their Effect On Our generations.
