Introducing to you today is $ Mac—a name you might not know yet, but one you won’t forget after spinning his debut EP, “4rm losses 2 leisures” which he released in December last year. Straight out of Dallas, this rising voice in hip-hop isn’t here to blend in. He’s here to shift the culture. No gimmicks. No industry cloning. Just raw authenticity, straight from the trenches to the top floor. Recorded in a single take at Ztv Studios with producer Wavy Bandz, this four-track EP is a testament to $ Mac’s hunger, his sharp pen, and his refusal to follow trends. The beats? Knockin’. The delivery? Unapologetic. The energy? Unmatched. Let’s break it down.
From the moment the beat drops, “Icewood” sets the tone—icy, relentless, and cutthroat. The bass is thick, the hi-hats skitter like footsteps on frozen pavement, and $ Mac’s flow slices through the instrumental with precision. His voice? Confident, unwavering, a mix of hunger and experience. He raps about resilience and self-made success, embodying the idea that in this game, you either freeze up or shine.
“$>Fame” is where $ Mac flexes his mindset—money over clout, real wins over illusions. The production leans into eerie synths and booming 808s, creating a hypnotic and hard-hitting atmosphere atmosphere. His delivery is calculated but effortless, like he’s schooling the rap game on what really matters. The hook? Catchy enough to get stuck in your head, but with weight behind the words. This one’s for those who understand the grind.
If there’s a track that defines the energy of “4rm losses 2 leisures,” it’s “Blockhot.” The title alone tells you what’s up—high stakes, high pressure, and no room for hesitation. The beat is aggressive, with rolling hi-hats, snares and eerie keys that make it feel like a late-night mission. $ Mac’s voice rides the rhythm with a relentless cadence, painting vivid pictures of street realities and survival. He’s not just talking—he’s making you feel it.
The closer of the EP, “Gettn $,” is all about elevation. The beat carries a subtle bounce, with dreamy synth pads that contrast the hard drum patterns, making it a perfect ride-out anthem. $ Mac spits with a mix of gratitude and ambition, reflecting on past struggles while keeping his eyes locked on the bigger bag ahead. His delivery here is smoother but still laced with confidence, like he already knows what’s coming.
With 4rm losses 2 leisures, $ Mac isn’t just making music—he’s making a statement. His voice cuts through with authenticity, his flow is razor-sharp, and his production choices elevate the entire project without overcomplicating the message. This EP is just the first step, but it’s a strong one, proving that $ Mac isn’t here to follow—he’s here to lead. Keep an eye on him because the next wave of hip-hop just might be rolling in from Dallas.
