"I went everyday since I was 11 years old thinking that the very next day was that breakthrough day for me...and that very next day finally came! This is a monumental event, not only for me, but for the entire DMV itself. I'm excited man, I'm EXCITRO - 2 levels above excited (laughs). Studio 43 is the match, SRC/Universal is the forest, and Marky's the FIRE! You already know what happens when that go down (smile). I'm with a legend (Steve Rifkind)! He called me from LA on Feb 27th and told me that he's gonna sign me. He was Iistening to my "Homework" mixtape in the background and came across the "Ice Cream" Wu-Tang joint I did! I was at Anacostia station on my way to the Guitar Center out VA. We reminisced for a sec on how we met back in 2006 and I jumped on his table freestyling (laughs). He told me I was star THEN and that him and the people I was with at the time would talk. Long story short the people I was with then couldn't make it happen so I'm HERE NOW 2 years later with my Big Bro Kenny Burns. It was Gods plan for me. How everything manifested and unraveled in time was actually PERFECT TIMING! Everything happens for a reason. I ain't like nobody else, I'm not trynna be nobody else, I'm just Marky. Judah and I crafted my introduction to the DMV with "Homework" - my mixtape released Sept. 2007. Now, I brought along my right-hand man AB The Producer to the mix and things are heating up with our 43ntourage!!! It may seem that I emerged from out of nowhere to some, but just in time to others. I been here, I was just a kid then when I was opening up for Lil' Romeo at the New Convention Center when it first opened and Fabolous around Kenilworth Rec and so on and so on. But now, I'm here and in the forefront alongside a whole city full of talented youthful artist thats waiting in the wing for these majors to take note of them. Its a matter of time before the DMV becomes the actual "Restaurant" rather than "The Drive-Thru" (laughs)."
