notes

Mac Money aka Montiae McHenry has worked diligently and waited patiently for his chance to shine on his own solo project. Over the years, he has opened shows for big name acts like E-40 & the Click, Too Short, Ruff Endz, Mac Dre, the Luniz, and N2Deep. He has also done his share of guest verses on various projects including Illtip Magazine's "City of Dope 2000," Mr. D.O.G.'s "Ghetto Politics," Lou Nutt's "Da Morgue," 2 Real Record's "Guilty til Proven Innocent," and BWR2000.com's "NW Ridin."

After appearing on the first single of NW Ridin titled, "Take It Off" (which received spins across the nation as well as in Africa, Canada, and Australia), he has signed with Bow Wow Records, and began constructing his debut album. His West Coast-Reality based lyrics touch on serious matters from the view point of a struggling young Black man, with vivid descriptions in each bar to entrap you into every track. His delivery has made his upcoming debut album, Tales of a G, one of the Northwest's most anticipated indie albums, and it's scheduled to drop June 15, 2002 (The Ep, "Just Dippin" is available now). On it, he shows he can hold his own while collaborating with names like Mr. D.O.G., Yukmouth, and Maniac Lok.

For example, in the song, "Just Dippin," Mac details an evening of just pure energy, roaming throughout the town, meeting and greeting others in search of fun. He has been compared to W.C. with his street style delivery and it is obvious why when you listen to this bouncy tune.

In "What's Your Reality" he asks you, the listener to depict what it is that you believe and then gives you bits and pieces of his reality at the same time. On this classic, his lyrical deliverance reaches you on a spiritual level like some of the music from the late great, Tupac Shakur.

Mac Money believes that rap should be kept on a reality level and that rappers shouldn't be influencing others to follow footsteps that they themselves have not even taken. Mac was quoted as making this statement. "I think rappers should stop pretending to do 50 murders in a song and still don't have a criminal record. Rap already gets the blame for a lot of violence and negativity, and those who have not lived what they preach defeats the purpose of expressing the poverty in which you live in, in order to overcome it." He continued, "When I speak on violence in my rhymes, it's just me painting a picture of what I experienced and showing how fabulous it's not, hoping to discourage others from following suite."

When I asked Mr. D.O.G. about his acquiring of Mac Money he replied, "Mac Money was what I felt Bow Wow Records needed to advance to that next plateau in this music industry. He has a hard but almost elusive flow, which compliments my style nicely I know what he can bring to a track, energy and excitement and I can't wait to unleash him on the ears of hip-hop junkies abroad."

  • Now it's time for Mac Money to take his turn
    author: MilkDaddy

    It looks like Bow Wow is never going to fall. They just keep coming out without no fail. Until recently Bow Wow had been focusing on Mr D.O.G. and now it's time for Mac Money to take his turn. This is a single with a few bonus tracks. On Just Dippin you are treated to that typical North West sound. With production handled by Big Squeeze, he infects the track with keyboards and contributes a track that latches onto you like a brazilian leech. The more I listen to this the more I love it. On the second track What's Your Reality Mac Money really shines and the production is top notch. Mac Money might even find his fan base broaden because of this song. Firstly because the production cannot exactly be classified as mob style but rather borders on what the East normally does. Secondly he drops some science about religion and other stuff. Take this line for instance where he declares that Jesus was nothing but a prophet and questions the authenticity of Jesus being the son of God: "For I Fear No Man That Bleed Like Me". I couldn't have said it better. Now on the third track Mac Money comes back down from the heavens and puts his feet onto the pavements of Tacoma to bring you the extra hot United We Stand. This is typical Bow Wow style and I just fucking love it. "You cannot see me like Osama". That's a knee slapper. Nuff respect to Bow Wow for releasing this hot single. Cannot wait for the album.
