The name Kenny Mac (Macguyver) has been buzzing in North Carolina for a long while now. I've seen his freestyle videos on YouTube and caught him live in a battle against Seven da Pantha held at City Live Studios not too long ago. I was impressed! Kenny did his homework on his opponent and brought out the big bars, props and all. I booked him on my next show, tonight at Shakedown Street in Raleigh!
I needed North Carolina music fans to know more about Mr. Macguyver so I interviewed him and here is what I found out:
TaraMarie: How long have you been involved in the Hip Hop scene?
Kenny: For about 10 years now. I started freestyling and battling when I was 16. When Kaze used to have an Open Mic at the Local 506, I was there every week, in every battle and freestyling to every beat! I ended up getting a deal with an Independent label out of D.C. that led me to almost getting a writing deal with Ruff Ryders. The label I was with had the money to back me, but they were making bad business decisions. I got frustrated seeing how the real industry was and stopped rapping for about 4 years. I'm back now...with a vengeance!!
