Repping A Town, OG Maco puts his skills to good use as he takes center stage for today’s XXLFreshman showcase. His debut Children Of The Rage coming soon.

“There was [a turning point for me]. I was listening to everybody and I didn’t hear nobody who was better than me. Nobody’s music made me re-think my music that was out here in the same playing field as me. Nobody had me like, “Ah, shit,” just out here trippin’. Nobody, you know? There’s people that I got respect for and that I gained more respect for them, like Vince Staples and Tink. She just went ridiculous in that other room [in the Cypher]. But at the same time, Raury was going ridiculous right there, too, you know what I’m sayin’? I’m happy with the feeling. You know, happy with it. It’s a cool feeling. Honor. It’s an honor.”
