The Jammin’ MIC CHECK showcases the best local music in Milwaukee.
Twan Mack…
Quality and consistency best describe the body of work Twan Mack has provided us since his reemergence onto the global hip hop scene nearly two years ago. This time around the veteran Kareem City (aka Milwaukee) emcee/producer/beatboxer/visionary brings us a party anthem he calls “Marvelous.”
Wasting no time, Mack immediately lets his audience know that “Marvelous” is his way of paying homage to Bob James, one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, whose composition, “Nautilus,” is one of the most sampled selections in hip hop history. Everyone from RUN-DMC to Wu Tang has sampled this classic, while Mack gives us his beatboxed version at the end of the song. Just as profound, Mr. James has already given Mack his approval of “Marvelous” via their twitter and Facebook correspondence. The infectious, bouncy groove is a perfect match for Mack’s on point lyricism and catchy chorus.
Kareem City Music (Ben Block & Mack) handle the production for this opus that has the potential to create call and response situations with concert goers. With bars like “pause for the cause, lyrics broke all laws/gauze for ya jaws cause you’re not that raw/letterman better than most all of y’all/veteran green eyed emcee y’all” Mack’s pinpoint lyricism show and prove that he’s not to be taken lightly.
