Welcome to the Zoo…
By Tatiana R. Johnson

Straight out of the Hollygrove area in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Young Wolf and Young Money representative, Mack Maine, tells listeners, “Expect the unexpected.” His charismatic punch lines and driven lyrics demand attention. And it isn’t so bad having the President of Cash Money and former Hot Boy, Lil’ Wayne to cosign just that.
So what makes the Young Wolf stand out? His hunger, standout delivery and lyrical influenza separate him from others. Lyrics like I used to mess with crack addicts/Now I’m in a whole ‘nother tax bracket, puts listeners in a state of mind that THE MACK has definitely progressed!
Mack Maine describes his style as something that has never been heard before; not too flashy and a pinch of simplicity. This is the same guy who never lost a freestyle battle, which showed that the art of rapping was appropriate for him, so the hookup with Lil’ Wayne was only right, both being from Hollygrove. He describes Young Money as not only a label, but brotherhood and community of love. He has appeared on Wayne’s Dedication mixtape series as well as his on mixtape Freestyle 101 mixtape which shows his work ethic and hunger for the rap game. In five to ten years, he plans to “Quincy Jones’’ the industry as producer and CEO of his own label. But right now he’s in lyrical grind mode, “I been teasing [the game], I’m going to pop a Viagra and go hard!”

….You Are In the Zoo

*Interesting fact: “If I wasn’t rapping I’d be a pediatrician.”
