Messy Marv Readies Upcoming Album Release, Takes on "Turf War", Gives Back To Neighborhood

San Francisco, CA, - This spring a Bay Area legend is taking it back to his neighborhood, literally. San Francisco rapper, Messy Marv, will release two separate albums representing the split between his hometown neighborhoods, Fillmore AKA "Fillmoe", a district in the San Francisco/Bay Area.

Messy Marv has been a staple in the West Coast rap scene for years. He has released 13 independent albums, and recently put out his first release on Scalen LLC/SMC Recordings/Fontana. The album, which also served as a soundtrack for his movie release, was titled Draped Up and Chipped Out (Dress sharp with lots of money) and was a big hit this past summer.

Messy Marv helped put Fillmore on the map along with other Bay Area legends: San Quinn, Rappin' 4-Tay, GLP and JT The Bigga Figga. Sadly “Fillmoe” has gained negative recognition recently with an ongoing turf war between the “Uptown” and “Downtown” districts. Violence has escalated dramatically between the two neighborhoods and unfortunately many lives have been lost in this “war”.

By releasing his upcoming albums, Fillmoe Nation Vol. 1 and Fillmoe Nation Vol. 2, Messy's goal is to try to show unity between the two neighborhoods, to bring the two sides together and stop this “war”. “I have seen people I grew up with killed in this violence and I want to play my part by trying to help the community. I decided to make these albums so I could show not only SF and Fillmoe what is happening in our communities, but also the country - the violence that happens in our neighborhoods everyday and the need to stop it,” explains Messy.

The albums, being released on SMC Recordings, will hit streets this spring, two weeks apart. Volume 1 will represent the “Uptown” district while Volume 2 will represent the “Downtown” district. On previous albums Messy called upon his famous colleagues such as E-40 and Keak Da Sneak to make appearances, this time around Messy made the decision to showcase local neighborhood/community based rappers from both sides of Fillmore. Messy states, “I wanted to give people that had not had their shot, an opportunity to express themselves, I wanted to put them on, give them a chance.”

Not only has Messy given a rare opportunity to local talent to be showcased on two nationally released albums, he has also decided to donate some of the proceeds from both albums to local gyms/community centers in both the “Uptown” and “Downtown” districts. This in turn will bring much-needed computers and other learning tools to the kids in both neighborhoods.

Messy Marv is determined to continue breaking his Scalen LLC brand with up coming projects. Gutta Mob & Jessica Rabbit are scheduled for a late spring/early summer release as well as Messy's long awaited new solo album.

*gähn*

cool, bin mal gespannt auf die beiden CDs... vor allem, wer da drauf sein wird. ich schätze mal, dass wird so was wie der "straight outta HP" soundtrack, mit völlig unbekannten typen drauf, von denen die drei viertel grottenschlecht sind

all das hab ich geschafft mit 4 buchstaben zusagen...:up:

Ich warte auf Messy's neue Solo. Die ganzen Compilations usw. kann er sich sonstwohin schieben, davon hat er 2006 ja schon 20 rausgebracht. Auch wenn die Tracks mit seiner beteiligung meist dope waren, er soll jetzt mal n ordentlichen Nachfolger zu "Bandannas, Tattoos & Tongue Rings" raushauen.
