Live and act
Mack was the first artist to debut an album on Puff Daddy 's Bad Boy Entertainment label in 1994 . This was released under the title "Project: Funk Da World" and includes the hit single "Flava in Ya Ear". The remix of the song helped the most famous bad boy entertainment artist The Notorious BIG to his breakthrough.
In 1997 his second album, "Operation: Get Down" , was released through BMG / Scotti Brothers / Street Life. However, this album could not build on the success of the first. Then he founded his own label Mackworld , through which he released a few singles.
