Editor's note

Mack 10, the West Coast rapper with a drawl

A South Central voice from the '90s who helped form Westside Connection and kept the neighborhood sound steady.

For his sound, start with 'Foe Life' or 'Mack 10's The Name.' That drawl and neighborhood feel run through most of his catalog.

Mack 10's music gave a plainspoken voice to South Central Los Angeles in the '90s. His drawl anchored tracks like 'Foe Life' and the Westside Connection album 'Bow Down,' which got serious attention. Even after the group dissolved, solo cuts like 'Backyard Boogie' held down that straightforward West Coast feel.

He came up rapping in South Central in the early '90s, then joined Westside Connection with Ice Cube and WC in 1992. His self-titled solo debut went platinum in 1995, and later albums like 'Based on a True Story' kept a steady presence into the 2000s. He often worked with a crew called Da Hood and did some acting later on.

Mack 10 came up in South Central Los Angeles in the 1990s, rapping with a distinctive drawl that became familiar on tracks like 'Foe Life' and 'Mack 10's The Name.' In 1992, he joined Westside Connection alongside Ice Cube and WC, and their debut album 'Bow Down' got serious attention. After that group dissolved, he put out his self-titled solo debut in 1995, which went platinum.

His music in the late '90s and early 2000s, including albums like 'Based on a True Story' and 'The Recipe,' kept a steady West Coast presence. Songs such as 'Backyard Boogie' and 'Nothin' But The Cavi Hit' had that straightforward, neighborhood feel he was known for. He often worked with a core crew called Da Hood, which included Tha Chill, Boo-Kapone, and Jayo Felony.

Some of his lyrics drew criticism for depicting street life, but he maintained they reflected what he'd seen. He kept releasing music and did some acting in films and TV shows later on.
