Mac Mall with a live band at Yoshi’s Oakland, August 10th – tickets: https:\/\/yoshis.com\/events\/buy-tickets…<\/p>\n
History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 114: Mac Mall is a Bay Area legend who recorded his debut album “Illegal Business?” at just 15 years old. Growing up in Vallejo’s infamous Crestside neighborhood, he is a cousin of E-40 and the third generation successor to The Mac and Mac Dre. Produced by musical pioneer Khayree, Mall’s music video for “Ghetto Theme” was directed by 2pac. Launched into local superstardom, he had to navigate hood politics, fame, and the temptations of street hustling to ultimately find his way and establish his rap career. After 30 years as a successful touring artist and published author, Mall is continuing to work on creative projects and preserve Vallejo’s rap legacy.<\/p>\n
