Marcus Fitzgerald Rucker Jr. (born September 5, 1995), better known by his stage name Motif Alumni is an American producer, composer, arranger, songwriter, rapper, and singer from The Bronx, New York. He is perhaps best known for producing records for several prominent artists in the music industry, including Snoop Dogg, Fabolous, Fat Joe, G-Unit, The Lox, and Rod Wave among others. Motif is a multi-instrumentalist who composes works completely from scratch embodying elements of soul and jazz to psychedelic/progressive rock and even gospel that has earned him collaborative work with some of the greatest producers the industry has ever seen including Timbaland, 808 Mafia, and araabMUZIK among others. He currently runs his own sound design company, The Rucker Collective consisting of himself and other sound designers that he signed to the company with a mission of creating original compositions (with a purpose to be sampled) to deter producers from incurring clearance issues and high publishing/royalty fees.
