Vision driving down Merrick Boulevard in Hollis Queens on Black Friday with your Spotify rotation in Holiday inspiration vibe riding to “Juicy” by Notorious B.l.G. a classic rags-to riches story of overcoming hardship “Lose Yourself” by Eminem for seizing the moment “The Light” by Common and the new single “Praise” by Macdonthefifth shuffles into your playlist rotation with some of the top hip hop icons to ever embrace the mic.
A record like “Praise” is a breathe of fresh air for the hip hop culture. Since 2012, when Drill rap became relevant, it’s been challenging to add a record to your playlist that has any inspirational or spiritual dialog in the lyrics. This is what made the 80’s and 90’s – the Golden Era of Hip Hop the best era for rap music. You had the diversity. Mac Don’s Hollis, Queens roots embedded that true Golden Era hip hop in his DNA.
Macdonthefifth “Praise” – Spotify
The Hollis, Queens rapper gives Praise to the most high over a melodic instrumental produced by Chzech Venturio. The single was released under Rock Boy Records / Sony Orchard and is now available on all digital stores.
Since his collaboration with Rock Boy, Mac Don has released several anthems including “Ain’t Nothing You Can Do About it” Produced by Brooklyn hit maker DR Period who made his name producing nearly the entirety of the M.O.P 1994 debut album To the Death and a variety of East Coast hip hop artist during the late 1990s, such as AZ, Onyx, Public Enemy, Shyheim, and Smoothe da Hustler
Mac Don wouldn’t be the self proclaimed Don of Rap if he didn’t give us a cinematic visual for “Praise” which dropped the same day as the single. The new music video perfectly complements the song and already has the internet buzzing, The video produced and directed by Lot Pacasso leans into a dramatization of Mac Don’s connection and praise for the most high who he credits for SUccesses.
