Get familiar…
What five words define your sound?
Electric, Honest, Angelic, Relatable, Aggressive.
What song of yours would you like people to hear first?
‘Oh Well’. I made that track right after signing my first deal. Even though I hit a milestone, I still felt doubted — by people around me and even those I loved. I just let all those emotions out on the mic.
What’s the most vulnerable you’ve allowed yourself to be when writing/making music?
I broke down crying while recording a song about my relative Smaky who passed away. Talking about him in that track put me in the most emotional place I’ve ever been in while making music.
What’s the best/worst experience you’ve had on stage?
Back in 2020, I was trying to get the crowd hyped, moving around on stage at 300 pounds, sweating hard, armpit stains and all — it was terrible.
What’s your favourite song to perform?
‘Yellow’. It gets the crowd hyped every time — I usually open with it. The energy is just crazy.
Which artist/song/album made you want to make music?
YoungBoy (YB), Big Yavo, and Juice WRLD. I love YB’s flow, Juice WRLD’s whole lifestyle had me hooked, and Yavo — he’s actually my cousin. Watching him blow up was a big motivator for me.
What is the meaning behind your name?
My real name is McKenzie, so “Mack” was already a nickname. I was heavy when I started rapping, so instead of going with “Big Mack,” I chose “FattMack” — it had a better ring to it.
If you weren’t making music, what would you be doing instead?
I’d still be hustling, trying to get rich another way. One way or another, I’m gonna make it.
What’s success to you?
Success is generational wealth. You haven’t really made it until you can buy your mom a house and set your family up for life. That’s how you leave something meaningful behind.
What moment in your life/career forced you to change direction?
I quit football in ninth grade and had to switch paths. That’s when I started getting into trouble and eventually found music.
Where can people keep in touch with you?
You can tap in through social media, stream my music, or pull up to a show. I always show love —sometimes I even let fans get on stage with me.
