One of the West Coast’s most promising rap prospects is back with his first release since signing a deal with Bloc Star Universal. Macntaj gives us an unfiltered look into his life’s journey on “Look Up” featuring Jerome Dillard.
Though Macntaj reps Seattle, the artist grew up in a turbulent life across numerous cities. From the East Coast to down south and Sacramento’s notorious “Garden Block” neighborhood. Very few people whose upbringing mirrors that of Macntaj make it out, let alone in the music business. The emotion and journey involved in this life transformation are documented beautifully in both the lyrics and visual behind “Look Up.”
Macntaj stated this song was a reflection of all the moments his life took to get to this moment. He’s acknowledged that with this new deal, the real work is just now beginning but what a pivotal life moment to look back and reflect.
Macntaj has always been known for high energy, personality, and pure entertainment. From the early days with Slightly Flagrant to his run as the most in-demand EDM vocalist in the nation, and now his newly found solo success back in the hip-hop realm.
Never being one to pigeonhole himself to a certain sound, we’ve heard raw transparent records from him before but nothing as quite as intimate and personal as his latest record, and he sounds damn good on here. Rumor is, Mac has his first major-label album in the cut and with this release, I think it’s safe to bet on hearing a complete project when that drops.
