New Music: Messy Marv - "Dem Nights A Nigga Starved I'll Never See Again"


Marvin Watson grew up in the Eddy Street public housing PJ’s located in Sac Francisco’s Fillmoe District. When he was 3, his mother passed away so he went to live with his grandparents in East Oakland. When he turned 13, he went to live with father in Fillmoe.

In 1994, along with some of his homies recorded his  debut EP, called “Game To Be Sold” and pressed up 2,000 copies and sold them out of the trunk of his car. At this time Messy Marv had been living with his aunt and uncle but after 
living at his aunt and uncle's home for a couple of months he got kicked out.

In 1995, his released his second studio album, Messy Sitautions on Trigga Life Records. The Secret Service handled the production on the album and the LP became a big success and sold over 15,000 copies without much fanfare. It was later re-released as Death On A Bitch in 2001 on Mega Entertainment.

After the release of Messy Situations, he went on to appear on countless compilations and other people’s albums. But apparently he wasn’t making any money from his albums and was still “hustling on the block,” living in his car, going from hotel to hotel, and sometimes sleeping in JT The Bigga Figga’s studio.

In 1997 San Quinn took him in. In 1998, San Quinn and Messy Marv released their collobaration album Explosive Mode on Presidential Records. Fairfield producer Mike Mosley (E-40’s “Sprinkle Me,” C-BO’s Birds In The Kitchen, 2Pac’s “Ain't Hard 2 Find” ), Tone Capone (Luniz’s “IGot 5 On It”), Dwayne Wiggins (member of the 1990s soul/R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné!), and DJ Daryl ( produced Tupac Shakur’s hit single, “Keep Ya Head Up” on album Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z) contributed production for the album and San Quinn and Messy Marv hit pay dirt. Explosive Mode has sold over 50,000 copies.

In 2002, Messy Marv releaed his forth studio album on his own label imprint, Scalen.

After the success of Turf Politics he began dropping albums consecutively from 2004 to in 2011 (DisoBAYish, Different Slanguages, Bandannas, Tattoos & Tongue Rings, Hustlan.A.I.R.E., Gettin' That Guac, What You Know bout Me?, What You Know bout Me? Part 2, Cake & Ice Cream, Cake & Ice Cream 2, Draped Up & Chipped Out, Vol. 2, Draped Up and Chipped Out, Vol. 3, Draped Up and Chipped Out, Vol. 4, Millionaire Gangsta, Thizz City, The Shooting Range, Bonnie & Clyde, 100 Racks, Messy Slick, Da Bidness, Blow, Blocks and Boat Docks, Neighborhood Supastar 3, Da Bidness 2).

Around this time rumors were starting to spread that Messy Marv was suffering from drug addiction.

In 2001, high off blow Messy Marv jumped out a fourth floor window and broke both his legs and he was confined to a wheelchair for several months. In 2006, Messy Marv was was thrown in prison for nine months on weapons charges. In 2005, he was in a feud with G-Unit and Shady Records signee Obie Trice. Guce and Messy Marv released a diss track called "50 Explanations" that appeared on Guce’s 2005 album Pill Music: The Rico Act, Vol. 1. In 2008, Messy Marv started a family feud with his cousin San Quinn by calling San Quinn a "snitch" in a diss track. San Quinn quickly clapped back at his former running dog with a new diss track, Fence Hopper. But the beef eventually died down a couple of months later.

In 2009, Messy Marv poked fun at Mistah F.A.B.’s recent chain snatching incident at a local Sonic drive-in restaurant. This led to F.A.B. putting out a song called "Okay" where he impersonates Messy Marv. J.T. The Bigga was also featured on the diss song.

On August 31, 2013, Messy Marv was beaten and robbed inside his hotel room at the Circus Circus Las Vegas hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada.

On September 25, 2013, Philthy Rich released a track dubbed "Swear to God" and called out Messy Marv. In the song Philthy Rich claimed Messy Marv contacted police after being ambushed by several hatchet men and identified his attackers. This caused an ongoing beef that lasted for almost a year.

Recenly Messy Marv put out a freestyle taking shots at J. Diggs (CEO of Thizz Entertainment) and Gold Toes (CEO of ThizzLatin/Black-n-Brown). Apparently Messy Marv and J. Diggs had a falling out. A month later, artwork for his new single “Face Shots” surfaced on the Internet mocking Thizz Nation with a depiction of Thizz Nation’s logo (which features a Mac Dre face emblem) with bullet holes in it.

Once the artwork was posted on Siccness.net all hell broke loose because Mac Dre fans were teed off. Today, Boss Hogg (of Dre Mobb/Thizz Nation) announced his was releasing a Messy Marv diss mixtape two weeks from called “Suicide Mission: Messy Marv Shoots Himself” Messy Marv hasn’t replied yet but he plans to release two albums on the same day I’m Not A Rapper, I’m A Cop Vol. 1/Imma Dough Fiend.
