Overview
We hear from close confidant Kilo Curt, who was among those arrested with Mac Dre for attempted bank robbery and spent time with him in FCI Lompoc afterward. Numerous close collaborators share their memories of the rise of Hyphy music in the Bay Area and help contextualize Mac Dre's role in the subgenre, which would eventually influence artists like Drake and capture the ears of the nation.
The story of Mac Dre is the story of rap in America, from the authorities' attempts to block his success to his tragic, unsolved death in Kansas City. It's an arc that's followed by many of the genre's greatest artists, from Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls to more recent stars Drakeo The Ruler and Pop Smoke. The story of Mac Dre is the story of a rapper who lifted an entire community through artistic determination and refusing to bow to the oppressive forces seeking to silence those around him.
