Buffalo Rapper Uses The Death Of His Brother For Inspiration

I’ve been noticing the talent in upstate so we here at Power 93.7fm created a platform to spotlight the next superstar Queen City style. This week the “TALK OF THE TOWN” “716 SPOTLIGHT” comes from Buffalo N.Y. Mack Millz is a 23 year old artist, who uses his music as a form a therapy to deal with the lost of his brother. He came by the studio to chop it up with your boy SteelBoutMoney. We talked about his process for recording music ,him putting the "fun" back in music, his branding strategy for merchandise, and more. He also dropped off his latest club banger "Money Dance". Check out his interview and his smash hit below to see why he the talk of the town.

We asked Millz what his process was like for writing music, something that can be very different depending on the artist:

I usually make songs within an hour, I'm talking about hooks, verses--like that's just my thing...I get a beat, I like the beat, I put something on it, that's it. I call my man, "Yo bruh, I'm bout to come through."

When it comes to motivation to make music, Millz had another interesting take. He uses it as a form of therapy:

My brother died...what could I do but make a song about it? I didn't wanna cry every day...I didn't wanna be talking crazy, acting crazy, so I'm like "Let me put this into a song." I made a song telling the story about how my brother died--that song went crazy. Ever since then it's like--he would tell me to go hard. If you're gonna do it, do it all the way. We ain't gonna play with it, you feel me?
