Hmmm. The question is: Is Prince Ital Joe & Mark Mark a group with two 
members or are all the release under Prince Ital Joe only  featuring 
Marky Mark? I would vote for the first.

In fact I did not add the artist Prince Ital Joe & Mark Mark. dechief 
did this [1] in 2007.

Discogs has a artist page of both [2].

Wikipedia [3] says: "**better known as Prince Ital Joe, [...] for his 
collaborations with Marky Mark 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wahlberg>."  and "In 1993, he teamed 
up with rapper Marky Mark <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marky_Mark> and 
released two albums 1994's Life in the Streets 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_in_the_Streets> and 1995's The Remix 
Album 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Remix_Album_%28Prince_Ital_Joe_album%29>." 
Wikipedia says on [4]: "Wahlberg also collaborated musically with reggae 
/ ragga singer Prince Ital Joe 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Ital_Joe> in a project featuring 
Marky Mark."

last.fm has also a separate page for both [5].

AMG doesn't seem to have United at all, but they haven't releases 
featuring both under one or the other.

A German music site has one release also filed under one group artist [6].

So I'm open for all possibilities. But for me they are like a group who 
had releases over a long time together. Thats not a short term project 
where one features into.

Regards
Alex
