MACC GRACE
The rapper formerly known as Dat Boy Grace grew up as a member of the late DJ Screw’s seminal Screwed Up Click, breaking out with From Crumbs to Bricks in 1999 and continuing to appear on Screw’s mixtapes until an unfortunate prison sentence put him on lock for the better part of the last decade. Now he’s out, he’s got a new name and is budding up for the second part of his career. And he’s hungry!
How are the new recording sessions going?
Man, I done rapped on every track we got. Instrumentals and everything. I’m waitin’ on some more.
You actually used it all up.
Yeah! Pretty much. I was doing 4, 5 songs a day. I got songs stacked up and now I’m just trying to get on the other end of it. Marketing, promoting, pressing it up and mixing and mastering, that type of shit.
Is it all lyrics that you wrote while you were locked up or is it stuff you’re writing right now?
It’s like a mixture of both. A lot of times it depends on where the track takes me. If I hear a track and I’m like ‘damn, I got something that’s dope for it,’ then I just go straight to my pad and get it. But if I hear something that be jammin’ and I feel it, I’ll just write something new right there on the spot.
Who’s producing the tracks?
Oh you got… Lil Randy produced some, Z-Ro did a bunch of tracks for me. Will Lean from Botany did some, then there’s a couple of other cats. I’ve been really just reaching out to everybody, just touching everybody. People been getting’ at me, they found out I’m home and I guess it’s they way of like… payin’ homage or whatever, just slipping me tracks. So that’s just the way it’s been going right now. Callin’ in favors, hollering at people.
But you feel like you have an album coming together, picking out what you’ll use?
Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m doing. When I do music, I’ll do at least 30 or 40 songs, at least. And then I’ll go back with my producers, engineers, my brother [Los, also of Screwed Up Click] and come up with 12, 15 of the best ones.
What’s it going to be called?
Maccnificent.
How come you changed your name?
Yeah, lemme get a number 2. Uh… let me get a Coke. No! Lemme get a Hi-C Orange. My bad, Lance.
No worries. At the Wendy’s?
Yeah, yeah. Anyway, you know, I had got a little bit older, so I didn’t wanna be called a ‘boy’ no more. Let’s see… I got two pennies… but other than that, I just feel like I’m on some mackin’ type shit…Appreciate it… if you know anything about mackin’, I just got a way with my mouth, and I was kickin’ it with these little pimp dudes on that last little stint I did in Alabama, these dudes from St. Louis and Chicago. They used to always be choppin’ it up with me. They was like ‘you know, you need get with this pimpin’,’ and I was like ‘I don’t do no pimpin’.’ And they was like ‘well, we gonna call you Macc Grace from here on out.’ And that shit just kinda stuck with me. Can I get some ketchup?
