Cover art for, ‘Weekend With Mac 3’

They say sequels are never as good as the first one, but I tend to think that’s only in movies. In Hip-Hop, there’s nothing better than a series of albums that all fall under the same theme, but sound different sonically. Just look at the history, Lil’ Wayne with The Carter series, Hov with The Blueprint series & much much more. When fans cling to a project & bestow upon it cult like status, it could be hard for the artist to ignore. After releasing a solid first two chapters, Bay Area native RonnieMac returns with the third installment of his wildly popular, Weekend With Mac series.

Clocking in at a short, but very effective 8 tracks, Weekend With Mac 3 is without a doubt my favorite one in the trilogy. While the first two saw Mac giving off great potential, 3 sees Mac starting to build on those qualities that made him a prospect to watch. On, “Gucci Belt,” Ronnie displays his creative shit talking ability, while on, “Graduated,” he shows his storytelling ability, giving us the tale of being a rapper who’s also trying — and succeeded — to get his degree.

Other standouts on the project include, “Feelin’ Like (Woah),” a Jordan Smooth assisted, bouncy banger; “Go So,” which probably has the best production on the tape & “Baby Bro Going Krazy,” which sees Mac & his little brother, MariiGoKrazy foing back and forth over ambient, yet slightly ambitious production.

Check out, Weekend With Mac 3 now & be sure to keep an eye on RonnieMac.

The Bay Area has been on fire lately. In the mainstream, they boast G-Eazy, Kehlani & the world champ Golden State Warriors — don’t even think about it, Dwight — & the underground is as alive as ever with artists like SOBXRBE starting to breakthrough. Adding to the mix of star power in Northern California, Oakland native RonnieMac returns to the pages with his new visual, “Go So.”

With energetic cadences, & momentously catchy hooks, “Go So” is a solid sign of development for the artist former Las Vegas resident. Set to the tone of bouncy, authentic sounding Bay Area production, the track has potential to be a break out. ”I hadn’t been back to Vegas in like a year.” Ronnie told RESPECT. via text, “And my baby bro was graduating, so I wanted to knock that out and tap back in with my cameraman, Jay over at Brunch Money Co.” 

Speaking on what’s next, Mac mentioned, “I got a few projects comin before August. As well as the intro to my baby brother coming up out the PGPBB camp, MarriGoKrazy. But the first thingis #WeekendWithMac3. That will drop when the demand goes up. It’s hot and ready.”

Check out the visuals for, “Go So” below and be sure to keep an eye on RonnieMac & #WeekendWithMac3.
