    Love & Life (Mary J. Blige album)

    Love & Life is the sixth studio album by American R&B singer-songwriter Mary J. Blige. It marked the first collaboration with former one-time producer Sean "Diddy" Combs since he produced her debut, What's the 411? (1992), and her second album, My Life (1994). The album was released by Geffen Records on August 25, 2003, in the United Kingdom, and on August 26 in the United States.

    Background

    Blige heavily collaborated with her one-time producer Sean Combs for this set. Due to the history between them on What's the 411? and My Life and Blige having just come off of a successful fifth album No More Drama, expectations were high for the reunion effort.

    Love & Life's lead-off single, the Diddy-produced "Love @ 1st Sight", which featured Method Man, barely cracked the top ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It altogether missing the top twenty on the Hot 100 (although peaking inside the UK top twenty). The following singles, "Ooh!", "Not Today" featuring Eve, "Whenever I Say Your Name"featuring Sting on the international re-release, and "It's a Wrap" fared worse.

    Marky

    Marky (real name Marcus D. Plater, born December 7, 1988) is a rap/hip-hop artist from Washington D.C. signed under SRC Records/Universal Republic.

    Early life

    Raised in Kenilworth, Washington, D.C., and heavily influenced by the District’s percussion-based rhythms of “Go-Go”, Marky has also become a student of hip-hop, embracing a variety of influences. At the age of 11, Marky began his journey as an artist - from rapping over hip-hop classics and teaming up for a song with the legendary Erick Sermon of EPMD, to experiencing the opportunity to freestyle with Big Daddy Kane.

    Rap career

    In 2006, Ken Williams introduced Marky to Mark “TarBoy” Williams of the St. Louis-based production duo Trackboyz, known for crafting chart topping hits for Nelly (“Air Force Ones”) and J-Kwon ("Tipsy"), among others. The Trackboyz signed him to their upstart label.

    Marky then joined the Studio 43 boutique label. He released the go-go-influenced single "Thug Passion" and opened the Screamfest '07 tour in Washington, D.C. He then went on to release two mixtapes: Homework 4.3 and The Drive-Thru, both of which were hosted by DJ Mick Boogie. Shortly after, Marky’s first single "Sheila" caught the attention of SRC Records chairman Steve Rifkind. On April 3, 2009, Marky released the "mini-album" Nothing is 43ver.

    Everyday I see you
    My hands were made for you
    And you always give me stress me free point of view
    Pick you up after school
    (Mr. Magic)
    Take a token
    (Mr. Magic)
    Of my love
    (Mr. Magic)
    I see you through the smoke
    Without you I'm misery
    Blue without my green
    All the songs sound better when you're next to me
    Hey, 'cuz you come naturally
    (Mr. Magic)
    Take a token
    (Mr. Magic)
    Of my love, love, love
    (Mr. Magic)
    I see you through the smoke
    Laying on my bed
    I reach up over for you
    And you so fresh you even make the standards new
    Burn the tip to get you through
    (Mr. Magic)
    Take a token
    (Mr. Magic)
    Of my love
    Mr. Magic, I see you through the smoke
    Mr. Magic
    Mr. Magic
    Mr. Magic
    Waiting for the smoke to clear
    I'm waiting for the smoke to clear
