Marko Penn is a contemporary R&B singer and songwriter whose work alternates between the soul-rooted mode of
John Legend and the slicker pleasure-seeking likes of
Jeremih and
Ty Dolla $ign. Active since the mid-2010s with singles such as "Options," "Started from the Mud," and "Favors,"
Penn has reached additional listeners with guest appearances on tracks by Crisis McSwagger ("Since You Hate Me"), League of Starz ("Throw It Back"), and
Illy ("You Say When"). More prominently, he and
Janine performed the duet "Firebird" for
The Birth of a Nation: The Inspired By Album, and he worked with
B.o.B on the single "Roll Up." In 2017,
Penn released the singles "Friends" and "B2L" (featuring
Gucci Mane), as well as the album Dirty Work, featuring
Lil Dicky on the title track. ~ Andy Kellman
