A Golden State veteran, Fillmore representative Messy Marv has been around for decades and has one of hip-hop's largest and most sprawling discographies. He also has a taste for beef, engaging in various squabbles with Too Short, Mistah F.A.B., Philthy Rich, and his own cousin San Quinn. Despite the drama, he's constantly working. Between solo albums, mixtapes, collaboration projects, and compilations, he's got more than a hundred joints out—and it seems like he drops something new every other week. As with other prolific artists (the Bay Area has no shortage of them), not everything Messy Marv puts out is classic, but his quality level is consistently high. On Wake'n Dey Cook Game Up, he sticks to what he knows, rhyming almost exclusively about illicit business, running game on females, pushing Bentleys, and spraying busters. The beats are catchy, '80s-influenced, and easy to ride to, while the guest list includes Warren G, Spider Lock, B-Legit, J. Valentine, Freeway, J. Stalin, Dem Hoodstarz, Turf Talk, and many more.
