The Life of a Mack: MC Lil Mack talks Hip Hop, Unity, and Grand Rapids!

Here at the GoodLifeCampaign we are closing in on our First Anniversary!!  It is very exciting because in a short year we have been able to meet so many great artists and people.  It is truly a blessing to be able to go to shows, listen to music and write about it.  I have always loved Hip Hop because of the expression, and now as a team we are able to consume as much as we can, and write it off in taxes!!!  Only in America!! Where's Don King at??!!

Given that we are approaching our first year, it is only right to highlight someone that has put in more than his share of years into the Hip Hop community.  When certain things come to mind a person's face could be attached to it.  Avon Barksdale to the dope game.  Turbo to break dancing.  MC Lil Mack to Hip Hop.

While the first two names are from classic movies or television series, MC Lil Mack is as real as they come, and very true to Hip Hop.  I met Lil Mack years ago searching for somewhere to perform.  I just moved from Kalamazoo and was experimenting with rhyming.  I had a group of performers from the Zoo, but really didn't know many people in Grand Rapids at the time.  I went out to Teazer's on a Tuesday night, chopped it up with Lil Mack, and two weeks later the whole team from the Zoo came down and rocked the entire night!!  That's love!!  What he did was something I hadn't experienced before.  He didn't care where we were from, just heard the music, and let us get down!!  That was one of my first live performances ever!!  The Roots of where the GoodLifeCampaign started to form!!

Long story short, life happens and I was away from the scene for about 1 1/2 years.  Once I was able to get out, Lil Mack was the first guy I came looking for.  Where did I find him??  At Teazer's djing for BattleMania.  No matter what goes on, you know that Lil Mack will be somewhere standing tall for Hip Hop in the city of Grand Rapids.  The Man is the definition of a true Hip Hop head!!  Whether sunshine or rain days, throughout all the good press or bad press for Hip Hop, one thing that you can count on is that he will be there standing tall for the Art.  The respect he is given around the city and beyond is because he has earned it, and no one can question his love for what he does. He has worked with damn near every artist in the area because he has been attached to shows for years. 

MC Lil Mack lives, breathes, and eats Hip Hop!!  Be sure to check him out at a venue in the city!!
