OG Maco Drops “Bright Lights”
Teaming up with Pablo Dylan, whom he worked with on the Tax Free mixtape last year, OG Maco drops "Bright Lights." Along with handling production, Dylan also grabs the mic and let's loose on the first verse and the hook. Using a wobbly, auto-tune aided flow, Bob Dylan's grandson paints a vivid picture of a wild night in LA. Trading in the aggressive ad-libs and style of "U Guessed It" for a more melodic flow, Maco picks up where his counterpart leaves off and shows his versatility over Dylan's live instrumentation to close out the song.
Dylan and Maco's collaborative Tax Free project dropped unexpectedly in 2015 and the four-track effort left fans hungry for more. Fortunately, the two are back in the lab together and Dylan's manager has confirmed to XXL that Tax Free 2 is in the works.
Maco dropped an impressive seven projects in 2015, but still hasn’t come with an official debut album. That could change in 2016 as he is aiming for a summertime release. “It’s looking like some time when I come back,” he told Billboard. “The Lord of Rage Tour [is] through Europe, I get back some time in February, and then we’ll go on tour, me and TWRK, and that’ll be sometime like March through April. So that leaves May and June, so I feel like right around there. Something like June, probably. If not summertime, I will personally — just because I know this shit is about to go — I would do it in like August at the latest. Just because of the feel of it; it’s some real classic fuckin’ rock star shit, and I don’t know if the people want their classic rock star shit during the summertime. But hey, fuck it. You never know.”
