Brooklyn-based artist and producer Marco Mento brings rhythm and real-world reflection together on “Monopoly,” a new single that mixes Amapiano, Afrobeats, house, and electro into a dance-driven track with a deeper message underneath.

Inspired by the classic board game, “Monopoly” looks at how power, money, and ownership shape modern life. While the song carries energetic grooves and club-ready production, the lyrics point toward the growing pressure many people face as corporations and wealthy individuals gain more control over land, business, and opportunity.

Marco Mento turns those ideas into something people can feel on the dance floor. Deep Amapiano drums, Afro-inspired rhythms, and electronic textures drive the record forward while still leaving space for its message to land naturally. The balance between movement and meaning gives the track its identity.

Born in Switzerland to an Italian family and now based in New York, Marco Mento has built his sound through global influences and collaborations. As the drummer for Afro Dominicano, he has performed across the United States and Europe while also working with artists including Andra Day and Traum Diggs. His creative connections with musicians in Ghana and Nigeria continue shaping the Afro-inspired direction heard throughout his music.

With “Monopoly,” Marco Mento delivers a track that feels lively, current, and grounded in reality. It is music built for movement, but also for people paying attention to the world around them.
