The Billion Dollar Baller Show
In 2006, Marz teamed up with Fearless Radio to launch his own radio show with B.D.B. labelmates Pack and DJ E.L.I. The Billion Dollar Baller Show quickly climbed to the top of the charts and reached the status of the #1 Internet radio show in the nation.[citation needed] The show was a mix of raw comedy, the hottest up-and-coming hip-hop, reggaeton and R&B music, and interviews with the most popular breaking artists.[citation needed] boo
MARZ Presents: Grind Music The Movement
In 2007, Marz released his 4th album, Marz Presents: Grind Music The Movement. This album contains multiple collaborations with Chicago's best hip-hop talent[citation needed], including BDB labelmates Pack, Redbone & Chrissy Feliciano; Rope 30, Big EZ & Epidemik (108 Records); Sawbuc (Phiranna Records); Chi-ILL (Torture Chamber Records); John Blu; Heata; and Trinity.
The first single on the album, "Nawww", features "Block CEOs", a Chicago group which Marz put together. This group is considered to be "Chicago's NWA",[citation needed] and is quickly rising to the top as they continue to produce powerful street anthems.[citation needed] Group members are Rope 30, Big EZ and Sonny Black of 108 Records, Chi-ILL and Henny B of Torture Chamber Records, and Marz and Pack of Billion Dollar Ballers Ent. Block CEOs did a video for the song "Nawww", which overwhelmingly won first place in a video contest on Music Nation.[citation needed]
