He took a break from the music scene on his first year in college to concentrate on his studies which didn't last long after he met the now Gospel rapper Styles Greece who went by the name Taqricmas and Pretoria veteran musician Morris Blacks whom he formed a rap clique with Called BlingJunk and drop a few records together including their most successful single titled Drop which gains more than 10 thousand views on YouTube on the 1st week which is quite a lot for an upcoming independent rap crew.unfortunately the crew went their separate ways only a year after that due to pursuing solo careers. Marshall did mention in one interview with Phele FM that after the split a lot has happened but they remain friends,he went as far as calling them his blood brothers." i learnt a lot from them,especially from Morris" he said.not to disrespect Stylce but i became more closed with Morris over the years.he has always been just a phone call away u dig,added Marshall. Since then the Rapper/photographer has dropped a couple of Songs and is rumored to be working on a joined project with his High school best friend and Tribal musician/producer Trinity.
