Sacramento, California-based producer/rapper G-Macc is among the most creative and uncompromising artists in modern hip-hop.
Hailing from the South Sacramento neighborhood known as the Gardens, G-Macc, a long time member of the 24th street Garden Blocc Crips, weaves true life tales of gangbanging and street hustling through a dark tapestry of gothic imagery, vampire lore, and horror film ambience. His ruminations on the macabre coalsesce into singularly unsettling aural nightmares; ones in which modern day tribalism, violence, and retribution are imbued with foreboding qualities of the supernatural and occult.
