Signed to The New 1017 label at the end of 2022, it was only a few months later when Critter’s talents were recognized by his peers and industry tastemakers. Dropping music consistently from the start, his music was shared on Instagram by now fellow labelmate, Sett, and was instantly put on Gucci Mane’s radar. “Wop saw it and was like, ‘Damn’,” smiles Mac Critter. “I had never met him before then, but he was a big influence on my life. We were always listening to Wop. When he reached out to me, he felt where I was coming from. God blessed me with this opportunity now. I’ve been putting in work. I’m in a bigger position; I want to put my family in a position to be straight forever.” Mac Critter is solidifying his place on the Memphis rap scene as he capped off 2023 with the release of his mixtape HIM 2. The 2-disc project served as the follow to his debut mixtape, HIM, which symbolizes Mac Critter is ‘HIM – the one and only’ in his music.
MAC CRITTER
Mac Critter may often conceal his face with a signature ski mask, but it only draws more attention to his voice and his story. The Memphis rapper flaunts a fiery flow punctuated by a croaky cadence, woozy inflection, and quotable rhymes. He channels trials and tribulations into a tight and tough style of his own. Generating millions of streams and views and attracting Gucci Mane and The New 1017 to his corner, he puts his stamp on the game with a series of singles and his debut project, HIM, in 2023. He angled himself towards a breakthrough by releasing music at a prolific clip of “damn-near a project per month” and generating over 3 million views and counting. Across tapes such as Return, Project X with Tony Show, Red-Demption, HIM, Da Menace, and many others, he gained traction with tracks like “Kids Sing,” “Torture,” “SPIN THE BLOCK,” and “MR SPIN THE BLOC” as well as “LASER QUEST” and “MURDA” both featuring Lil Double-O. Rising through the ranks, he even caught Future’s attention and gained his support. Serendipitously, fellow recent 1017 signee Sett bumped Mac Critter’s tunes on his story, and Gucci Mane instantly reached out. Now, he pops off on bangers a la Gucci Mane’s “Shit Crazy (Remix)” [feat. BIG30, Sett, & Mac Critter]. No matter the setting, he instantly shines with infectious and irresistible intensity. In the end, you’re going to remember Mac Critter the moment you hear him because he encodes an enduring message in this gritty vision.
