Rap Career
In 2006, Ken Williams introduced Marky to Mark “TarBoy” Williams of the St. Louis-based production duo Trackboyz, known for crafting chart topping hits for Nelly (“Air Force Ones”) and J-Kwon ("Tipsy"), among others. The Trackboyz signed him to their upstart label.
Marky then joined the Studio 43 boutique label. He released the go-go-influenced single "Thug Passion" and opened the Screamfest '07 tour in Washington, D.C. He then went on to release two mixtapes: Homework 4.3 and The Drive-Thru, both of which were hosted by DJ Mick Boogie. Shortly after, Marky’s first single "Sheila" caught the attention of SRC Records chairman Steve Rifkind. On April 3, 2009, Marky released the "mini-album" Nothing is 43ver.
After parting ways with Studio 43, Marky has set out on his own with his new bi-coastal team Winning Streak on a new project titled Divine Intervention. It was released in 2012 as a free digital release.
