Craig Mack

Only three days after the anniversary of the loss of one of hip hop’s notorious MC’s, we lose another one. The Mack that we all know was a part of Diddy’s Bad Boy label and had created one of hip hop’s most classic joints ever in history. The Mack was first introduced back in 1988 when he was known as MC EZ. Then fast forward to 1993, when we all heard him appear on the remix of Mary J. Blige’s soundtrack joint “You Don’t Have To Worry.” A year later, in the fall of 1994, his debut album “Project: Funk Da World” was released as well as his debut solo classic hit “Flava In Ya Ear.” Along with a remix that’s even more hard hitting than the original with appearances by The Notorious B.I.G., LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, and Rampage. “Get Down” was the second single to follow the success of “Flava In Ya Ear.” Three years later, Mack released his second album “Operation: Get Down” but it didn’t do as well as his debut. To this day, “Flava In Ya Ear” is a definitive hip hop CLASSIC. There’s no way that song will not be played at a hip hop show, club, party, or even a park jam. Thank you for your robotic, futuristic, George Jetson energy and for kickin’ mad flava in our ears. Rest in peace. 🙏🏾
