In the year 2005, One Block Radius released their debut album Long Story Short. It featured selections of songs ranging from pure pop to straight-up hip-hop. The following year they released a follow-up in the form of a mix tape CD called Cut Some Static. This was an album-length compilation of previously unreleased tracks, but was not released as a proper album. This album was not sold at retail, came packaged with home-computer printed labels, and featured members of the band introducing tracks, to keep the underground mix tape feel. Marty James was featured on the hook of The Federation's 2006 west coast club anthem "I Wear My Stunna Glasses at Night". Since that time he has also become an accomplished writer and producer having worked with JR Rotem, E-40, Sean Kingston, Baby Bash, Paula Deanda, Diane Warren, Rick Rock, Lil Jon, The Grouch, DJ Felli Fel, Jessi Malay, Mozella, Laze & Royal, The Stooie Brothers and more.
