A lot of artist pride them self on not being the next gimmick or a one hit wonder. Trel Mack is one of those artist. In 2007 Trel dropped his debut mix-tape “Mack Of The Year” which was featured on many media outlets. After a few setbacks Trel Mack is back to set the rap world by storm.

You being from Philly. What would set you apart from other Philly artist?

Just being myself and trying not to mimic the lane that is popular in Philadelphia, which is that hardcore street music. I have nothing against it, I actually like to hear Philly Rappers do there thing because we have that drive, talent and passion. There are a lot of things, street wise I can only talk about through another person experience. I just try to stay as true as possible and experiment with other genres to make something different.
