Информация о артисте
Messy Marv рэппер из Bay Area, который дебютировал в 1996 году и выпустил головокружительное число альбомов в последующие годы. Настоящее имя Marvin Watson, он вырос в Eddy Street жилищные проекты в Fillmore округа Сан-Франциско.
Будучи подростком, он сделал свои коммерческие записи дебютного в 1996 году полноценного альбома "Messy Situationz". А пару лет спустя он выпустил на западном побережье классический андеграунд альбом "Explosive Mode" (1998) который был продан тиражом более 50000 экземпляров, в сотрудничестве со своим двоюродным братом, рэппером San Quinn, и гостями из Bay Area самых выдающихся рэп-исполнителей того времени: E -40, Rappin '4-Тау, и Celly Cel вместе с продюссерами Mike Mosley и Tone Capone.
Следом вышла череда альбомов - "Death on a Bitch" (1999), "Still Explosive" (2001), "Turf Politics" (2002), "Turf Thuggin'" (2002), "Bonnie & Clyde" (2003) - хотя никакой из них не был особенно популярен и хорошо воспринят как "Explosive Mode".
По словам Messy, он начинал свою рэп карьеру живя всё ещё за пределами своей машины, "делая не очень хорошие вещи". В это дело его втянул его кузин, San Quinn помог ему "очиститься". Messy Marv признался, что был дилером кокаина и преступником, а ещё он заявляет, что это было унаследовано им от матери. Он, как известно, комментирует склонность его матери к употреблению кокаина во многих своих треках, но он не подтверждает что она имеет какое-либо значение к его собственной зависимости.
Несмотря на широкое признание в Bay Area он не смог оставить преступную жизнь позади, и это в конечном итоге сказались на нём в 2001 году, когда он выпрыгнул из четвертого этажа в окно и сломал обе ноги, потерял много крови. В одном из своих видео с альбома "Still Explosive" 2001 года можно рассматреть как он покинул больницу в инвалидной коляске, и ограничивался ей в течение 6 месяцев, прежде чем он смог снова ходить. За это время он продолжал выступать на сцене.
Он достиг Billboard charts в первый раз с "Disobayish" (2004), а основной прорыв состоялся с гостями с западного побережья суперзвездами E-40, Keak da Sneak, Too Short and Nate Dogg. Последующий альбом "Bandannas, Tattoos & Tongue Rings" (2005) был также популярен, достигнув Billboard charts с региональным хитом "Get on My Hype".
Последующее прибывание в тюрьме не повлияло на его музыкальные релизы. Он продолжал выпускать несколько альбомов в год, сочитая сольные работы, совместные альбомы и микстейпы. В 2006 году имел большой успех сингла "So Hood", с альбома "The Infrastructure" группы Bully's WIT Fully's (в составе Guce & Messy Marv) Read more on Last.fm.

One of the most extraordinary products of recent Fillmore history is Messy Marv, a rapper whose life reflects the neighborhood's struggle with a half century of urban renewal and the ’80s-era introduction of crack into America's ghettos. In 1996, when he was still in 10th grade, he released his first album, Messy Situations (Ammo). Though it sold around 15,000 units, Mess admits he didn't take music seriously at first.
"I dropped out of high school due to family issues," he says. "I had to grow up real fast and do the man thing, but I started doin' the street thing."
Nonetheless, Mess's rap reputation grew, and in 1997 he hooked up with San Quinn to record Explosive Mode (Presidential, 1998), which has sold more than 50,000 copies. "There was a lot of hype around the hood about how he was better than me or I was better than him," Mess says. "We decided to come together, and we made a classic."
"At that time, I was really on the street, living outta cars, doing real bad things," he recalls. "So Quinn and his mom took me in."
Despite his success when few in the Bay were moving many units, Mess was unable to leave the dope game, partly due to his own addiction.
"I inherited a cocaine habit," the rapper says. "I been clean for a while, but I had a really bad habit. All I can say is 'Say no to drugs.’” Though he won't go into details, Mess confirms his triple life as rapper, dealer, and user came to a head one night at an out-of-state show in 2001, when he was forced to jump out a fourth-floor window. "I broke both of my legs, crushed my left foot, lost a lot of blood," Mess says. "I was in a wheelchair for six months. The doctors said I'd never walk again."
"It gave me a whole new respect for handicapped people. I was doing shows in my wheelchair, and I rocked the whole crowd. It was a hell of a feeling that they still accepted me," he says. "That gave me the strength to get up and walk. I learned how to walk all over again, by myself, in four months. After that I decided it was time to go somewhere else with my life."
As if to atone for time lost, Messy Marv has since pursued his talent with a vengeance, recording a slew of projects for his own label, Scalen LLC, and labels such as Frisco Street Show, which released a reunion with Quinn, Explosive Mode 2: "Back in Business" (2006), and just dropped Explosive Mode 3 with Husalah and Jacka. In 2004, Mess inked a distribution deal for Scalen through Universal/Fontana, helping him move more than 20,000 copies each of Disobayish (2004) and Bandannas, Tattoos and Tongue Rings (2005). While he spent much of 2005 in county jail on a weapons violation, he still managed to score one of the big radio hits of the hyphy movement, "Get on My Hype," produced by Droop-E. Most recently, he's been on MTV and other airwaves with the E-A-Ski- and CMT-produced "So Hood," from The Infrastructure (SMC), his album with Hunters Point rapper Guce, released under the name Bullys Wit Fullys. A self-conscious bid to end hood rivalry between the ’Moe and HP, the Infrastructure project shows Mess's awareness of the power of his position as a role model even as he continues to spit with the most defiant swagger of any rapper in the Bay.
While Mess admits he has major deals on the table and plans to release the first of a two-volume opus titled What You Know about Me? in December, he also intends to retire thereafter in a nonbinding Jay-Z sort of way in order to concentrate on the younger acts on his label. This intention seems characteristic of the true spirit of the Fillmore as well as an acknowledgment that despite his youth, Messy Marv has already written a chapter in the district's history.
