Rapper Craig Mack passed away on March 12, 2018 of heart failure, at
the age of 46. He was born on May 10, 1971 in Trenton, New Jersey.
Craig began writing his own raps at
the age of 12. He started his career in 1988, under the name MC EZ, but gained
fame in 1994 with “Flava in Ya Ear,” which can be heard on television
commercials to this day. The song was nominated for best rap solo, but
unfortunately did not win.
After a couple of unsuccessful
albums, he moved on to “Christian rap” and recorded a video in this genre which
was posted on YouTube in 2016. A compilation of songs recorded by Mack between
2002 and 2006 was released in 2017, entitled “Mack World Sessions.” Neither
these endeavors nor a mixtape released in 2012 matched the success of “Flava.”
Mr. Mack is survived by a wife
and two adult children. He is known as one of the pioneers of rap, and will be
remembered fondly as such.
