OG Maco has the Internet buzzing since the release of "U Guessed It." His Hood Grammy from Drake is proof. The Atlanta rapper recently stopped by Hot 97 to explain the recording process and smacking his engineer.
As noted by Vibe, Maco made his New York City radio debut on Ebro in the Morning to discuss his breakout release.
During the interview, Maco — pronounced MA-ko — revealed that his frustrations toward his engineer sparked the concept behind "U Guessed It," which can be categorized as a freestyle.
"It was almost like a freestyle because I had never said, 'b---h you guessed it' up to that point," Maco explained to Ebro.
When asked who he was referencing on the track, Maco responded, "b---h n----s." He said the song is calling out anyone who is simply following trends as opposed to being original — hence the meaning behind the name of his OGG crew. He said the acronym stands for "Originality Gains Greatness."
Ebro asked the young rapper about recent comparisons to Mystikal. Although he accepted it as a compliment, Maco said he just likes to get crazy and drink a lot when he makes music.
"I've only heard two Mystikal songs in my life," he said. "It's a great compliment, though, him and Pastor Troy. [My music] comes from rock and shit, pure anger. It's not about the lyrics long as you get the point."
Another compliment is Drake's Hood Grammy for "Best All Around Turn Up," which he awarded to Maco.
