” I am the Best In Dade“. He says confidently. ” I been the Best In Dade since the day I was born. Either listen and see why, take my word for it, or be who I tell I told you so to later ” he continues “. On July 25, 1987 a star was born. Emerging from the inner city streets of Miami and the notorious neighborhood known as “Brownsub” is a young man by the name of D-Mac. Honing his kraft since the age of 9, D-Mac began his rap career pretending to be the New Orleans Rapper C-Murder.

Him and a group of elementary school classmates would write there raps during lunch as they idolized the No Limit Records group. With that and playing instruments under the instruction of his grandfather, D-Mac essentially established his passion for music. By the time he had reached middle school he had his own name and joined a trio. Going by the name “D The Playa” in the group ” 2 REAL “, he spent his time spreading his name and talent through joining ciphers and local rap battles. ” I’d battle any and everybody” he recalls.”

I was the safest bet in the hood for a while, until everyone pretty much knew not to battle me “. The southern slang mixed with an east coast flow made D-Mac such a rarity in the city it left everyone appalled. ” I think the difference in my style was the fact that I listened to the opposite of what my peers did. They were listening to Bone Thugs & Harmony and I was listening to Mase ” he explains. Eventually becoming a solo artist, at 23, D-Mac is ready to showcase his talent and prove all the naysayers wrong.

Hustling his demo and passing out his own flyers landed him a spot on the Str8 Drop Records roster and assured his opportunity to shine. D-Mac’s highly anticipated debut mixtape entitled ” The First Impression ” is set to release 10/10/10. The mixtape features the lead single ” Imma ” produced by platinum producer Bigg D and the follow up ladies record “Cakin Witchu” featuring the R&B superstar Dondria.
