Noting influences from his family, his lifestyle and learning the business to what ever parameter, Kentucky's G-Mack has a story to tell. After shifting through disappointments, obstacles and set backs of the past, his present days are much sweeter. Progressing and regaining his composure, he pushed 3,500 units as a self-made artist along with production credits that are quite impressive. This is just a taste of G-Mack's brighter days. Up until fifteen, G-Mack was your typical teen. He was into sports, rapping, video games, girls, etc. It wasn't until he was sixteen that his life started to do a 360. Due to the fact that his mom, step dad, brother, and sister were hustling and a few of his friends were already hustling, and all of his favorite rappers were talking about hustling in their music, hustling was basically a no-brainer. G-Mack tried to keep his street life from contaminating his school life; but the bigger problems became at home, the more serious his hustle had to become. Mack's responsibilities changed dramatically with in a matter of months. Having just enough money to buy a new pair of shoes and decent clothing wasn't going to cut it anymore. Trying to juggle two lifestyles led to what G-Mack said was the worst thing that ever happened to him - he got kicked out of school. Everything seemed to go down hill from there. His mother took sick to the point she couldn't work; his brother and step dad went to jail and his girlfriend moved back to Chicago. He also found out that he had a set of twins on the way and a little girl that could possibly be his, and to top it all off he was facing attempted murder charges that ended up being dismissed. In the midst of dealing with these series of bad happenings, G-Mack obtained his G.E.D. and enrolled himself into college. With the judge seeing potential in Mack, he was granted a school release that allowed him to attend college during the day and sit behind bars at night. It was during this season of his life that he started to record his first album; and he hasn't looked back since. Two years into his business management degree, G-Mack quit school with the intent to capitalize in his music career. He first ran into a bad record deal that resulted in him starting his own independent label, Transition Records. Not knowing much about the music business, G-Mack found himself dealing with a couple of label consultants that couldn't keep their hands out of his pockets. Fed up with the way his career was looking, Mack decided to learn the business hands on. G-Mack and his street team started to hit the road and wherever hip hop was they were there. He started utilizing his friends that already had ties in the music world. Booking shows through Nappy Roots (Atlantic), Rob Jackson (Arista), Black Coffey (Motown) and having a song which featured Cash Money's Boo and Gotti, Mack was on the road constantly. Sucking up all the game he could from being on the road so much, Mack was slowly gaining the knowledge he needed to pursue the career he wanted. In a nut shell, G-Mack is an opportunist and entrepreneur. He is a cat from the block that is using his street savvy to capitalize on his career. Having moved 3,500 units on his first album in which he produced six tracks, G-Mack is a beacon of light to aspiring artists. Mack is now ready to put Kentucky on the map; and anyone who has a hustle bone in their body will feel and grasp his movement. He quotes, "hip hop and I have something in commonwe're both from the streets."
