Rising West Coast artist Markas just dropped a heavy one with his new 12-track album, Not Enough Years a raw, energetic, and personal ride that proves he’s not just rapping, he’s reflecting. This project isn’t just another album; it’s a moment of growth, vulnerability, and straight bars.
From the emotional weight of tracks like the title joint “Not Enough Years” and “Dependents,” to the high-octane energy of bangers like “Scream,” Markas flexes his range—both lyrically and sonically. It’s clear he’s tapped in with his producers too, locking in with Gerald “The Sound” Keys, Ulisses, and others to bring different layers to the experience.
One of the most honest moments on the album comes on “Glitch,” where Markas spits:
“At 16 I was locked in that cage huh / And I ain’t been back since, I been harder to catch since.”
That one bar alone peels back the curtain on his past and the resilience that shaped who he is today.
Bottom line: Not Enough Years is Markas in his bag with a sharp pen, real emotions, and beats that hit. Whether you’re looking for substance or something to ride out to, this project delivers.
