Many stories from Detroit are those rooted in complete struggle; rapper Willie Mac Jr. uses his music to offer a different perspective as he values entrepreneurship, speaks on playership, and serves as an advocate for spreading love. Willie offers a complete view of everything from the Midwest staple shown from both his personality and what he expresses in his music.
Willie is a product of a family that had both a mother and a father present and deep-rooted in basketball. He is the brother of NBA stars, Jordan and Joe Crawford, and has the skill level to compete with anyone—especially other artists—that you can bring to him. However, unlike his brothers, basketball wasn’t his true calling, music is.
Willie always had a love for music, knowing the lyrics of legendary hip-hop icons such as Jay-Z, Tupac, and Kanye West. As he transitioned from the court to the booth, those artists ended up being his inspirations.
Introducing Willie Mac Jr to the game was his debut mixtape “When I Really Became Willie” a release that captures his life’s triumphs and failures, details his coming of age as a rapper, and established the trajectory of his career.
