Macca
Renowned for his pivotal role in the growth of the West Midlands grime scene, Wolverhampton native Macca worked his way up to national recognition as a prominent figure in renowned local collectives StayFresh and TNG, often sharing refreshingly positive and motivational messages in his music.
A seasoned spitter with a vast oeuvre dating back to 2003, he was one of the first in his city to champion grime – although he’s experimented in plenty of other genres, recruiting R&B singers, tackling silky hip hop beats, and even collaborating with the likes of Ed Sheeran and Maverick Sabre over the years.
With a strong back catalogue to his name including debut album 25 and this year’s critically acclaimed Winners Only EP – executive produced by the ever in-demand Swifta Beater – Macca has already earned plaudits from the likes of Sir Spyro, Logan Sama, Julie Adenuga and Tim Westwood.
