Technically speaking, the man we know as Crip Mac is a rapper. I say, “technically” because if you search for his name on Google, odds are you’re going to find a lot more about his wild interviews as well as rumors and gossip about his gang affiliations than you will his music which is, honestly, almost non-existent. But then, why the popularity and the interest? Just who is this dude and why does his boisterous personality have so many people talking about him? And how does his past involve gang violence, incarceration, and going viral with his pets? If, much like myself, you’ve been wondering how a 55-Neighborhood Cripp has become a social media sensation then join us as we take a look at his come-up on our latest edition of Before They Were Famous.
