In 1992, a year after finishing high school, Cooks got together with C-Bo to record her debut album, Ghetto Blues, through AWOL Records. Successive solo releases were Just Marvaless (1995), Wiccked (1996), Fearless (1998), and Ghetto Blues 2001 (2001).

She followed with her next solo album Ready Made the same year. Her most recent album, Queen of The Mob, was released in 2010 and she is planning to release another solo album, Marva Jean, with Legasi Records.[3] She also featured in the album "A Female Grind" by Thugg Miss in 2013.[4]
