He discussed a recent co-sign from Rapsody, his independent business model and the challenge of chasing a music career while raising a family.The rapper recently performed for Rapsody, one of the Carolinas’ most respected lyricists, and earned high praise.“She said, ‘I didn’t waste a bar,'” Mac said. “That was her exact words.”He first met Rapsody about 12 years ago in Durham, when he said she reminded him of Lauryn Hill. She later heard his music and responded on Twitter that his voice “sounds dope” and that he should keep going.DJ Remedy said Macdablacksheep was the only artist he saw actively promoting himself at the Rapsody event. The event drew media from New Bern, Rocky Mount, Myrtle Beach, Wilmington and Charlotte.“I’m obsessed with getting there,” he said. “I can’t stay still.”His schedule includes opening for Waka Flocka Flame and Lloyd at a baseball stadium in Fayetteville, plus upcoming appearances in Atlanta and more podcasts.He is also testing his fan base with 100 hard-copy CDs.“If I can get at least a thousand fans that’s gonna rock with me and know that I’m gonna give them quality, I’m gonna give them some music that’s gonna touch their spirit,” he said.Ownership remains central to his plan. He now prints his own shirts and produces his own physical copies.“I’m trying to cut out all this middleman so I could really be an empire,” he said. He added that this would give him “something to stand on” when he launches his own label.Both men described themselves as full-time fathers. They spoke about paying bills, working day jobs and making it to youth football practice by 5:30 p.m.“We’re not just doing music,” DJ Remedy said. “We got real-life situations.”Despite the obstacles, Macdablacksheep made clear he plans to keep pushing.“If they won’t get to me,” he said, “then I’m gonna take what’s mine.”</div></body>
