Information About

Mac (rapper)




During this time, Mac made numerous appearances on local artists' albums - notably two verses on B.G. 's classic ''Chopper City''- and he caught the attention of Master P , CEO of No Limit Records . Mac's first No Limit appearance was on Kane & Abel 's debut, ''The 7 Sins''. Mac's own debut on No Limit came with ''Shell Shocked,'' an album considered by many to be one of No Limit's best. Mac gained a reputation as one of the south's best lyricists. His lyrics display the somber realism and maturity that is a mainstay in much of Southern Rap as well as the lyrical dexterity of his East Coast counterparts. This album also followed the typical No Limit album formula: the deep, introspective tracks mixed in with up-tempo tracks, and a heavy presence of guest features from No Limit labelmates.

Mac's next album, ''World War III'', came on the "downslope" of No Limit 's fame. It came after Beats By The Pound , No Limit's in-house production team who are often credited with making No Limit the empire it was, left the label over purported money disputes, along with much of No Limit 's roster. This may have been a blessing in disguise though, as Mac's lyrical skill was allowed to shine through on production more suited to his style. This album is also more introspective than his previous effort.
