Wat it do loyal readers ya already know how I gets down, I bring U all the Raw & Real yeah DjBigO317 style hahaha. Today im featuring a Real Layed back Artist from Cali, Naw Naw maybe ya don’t understand me this brother here I have had the pleasure of working with a few years ago. His name is “Marnieside” he is a Yung O.G from Watts. He is a student of the game who has seen it all, yeah i said Watts,Cali. Shit aint no joke out there. He from the same hood as Tyrese & Jay Rock to name a few artists & movie stars.
I meet Marnieside thru a mutual friend & I invited the brother to fly out to Indianapolis,Indiana. So he could go out on a 30 city promo tour thru out the Midwest & the Southeast. One of the hardest cities to gain respect in when it comes to music was Atlanta,Ga. Everyone says we southern folks talk different but Marnie had everyone guessing when he performed at Sam Stone Studios over in Mechanicsville,Ga next to the Atlanta Braves stadium. All I can say that was a Rough Crowd, but at the end he won everyone over with his performance. Oh yeah he had a single ft.Young Jeezy called “Make Money” I made a few calls to Sirius Xm radio & got him played on the a few shows from Shade45 & Hip Hop Nation.

At nine years of age Marnie Side found his love for music. Growing up the Nickerson Garden Projects, in Watts California, it became an outlet for him to get through life’s challenges.
