Marvin O'Neal (professionally known as Marv Won) is an American rapper and producer from east side Detroit, Michigan. He is a current member of underground hip hop group The Fat Killahz (with Fatt Father, Bang Belushi and King Gordy) and rap duo Twin Towers (with Fatt Father).

O'Neal and Shabazz Ford has started The Fat Killahz along with Shim-E-Bango and King Gordy in 2001. The rap group of all four skilled emcees torn down local Detroit spots like the Lush Lounge, the Blind Pig, Motor, St. Andrew's Hall, the Shelter, the State Theater, and rapidly gained respect in the streets and a devoted following. In 2002 the quartet decided it was time to hit the studio, and they released the 2 Fat, 2 Furious mixtape to positive reactions throughout Detroit city. Making an appearance on King Gordy's debut solo album The Entity, they followed up a successful run supporting Gordy as the opening act on D12's US tour in 2004 with the release of their WFKR 31.3 FKM: FK Radio The Mixtape. On March 15, 2005, the World's Largest Group dropped their debut studio album "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?" via No Tyze Entertainment, featuring production by notable Mr. Porter and B.R. Gunna among others and Marv also co-produced one track off the record.

Due to Fat Killahz hiatus until 2011, the band members still participated in their individual projects and Marv has featured on many fellow rappers projects. That was the material for the debut solo release, and in December 2009 has been released he eleven track album named "The Way Of The Won" featured audio production from Kon Artis and Black Milk (with whom Marv worked during F.K.'s first project) among others, and featured guest appearances by Danny Brown, Bilal, Fatt Father & Shim-E-Bango. Marv was signed to Kon Artis and Kuniva's record label Runyon Ave Records and released his next project "Wayne Fontes Music" a month after his previous album, on January 1, 2010. The fourteen track LP featured the likes of Dwele, Riodata, Fatt Father & Shim-E-Bango.
