Allow me to present the next level of ‘Unsigned Hype’. Distinctive vocals, creative rhymes, and personality are ingredients that make Detroit's Maceo Tha GrammarGod one to watch. But truth be told, ‘rapping’ isn't the hard part. If you have enough soul, a poetic spirit, and can rhyme to a beat, blessing the mic is easy. There are thousands, and perhaps millions of MC's with enough rhyme fuel to make a decent album. Rap music has so thoroughly saturated the globe that Hip-Hop is taken seriously by teens and language Professors alike. What, then, determines who really makes it in this game? The right record label behind you? Timing? Examining the progress of Maceo would provide the perfect case study.

His skills as an MC are undoubtedly a result of his longtime devotion to his craft, and he has no intention of putting the mic down. His first taste of ‘fame’ came in a High School talent show where he rocked the entire student body with 16 bars of the illest rhymes in their schools history. But that wasn't enough to satisfy Maceo…his hunger grew. In an attempt to satisfy this hunger over the years, he’s performed in the local Detroit clubs, and various Hip-Hop Expo's and venues in various parts of the country. He’s even entered Audio battles on various Hip-Hop Websites on the Internet to get his name out there. Back in 2001 he joined the Rap group Scribe Tribe Syndicate; a group that started as an Online crew in 1999 (in the Throw Down Temple forum of Hip-Hop legend Davey D's Website). STS has become not only a successful Rap group, but a family. Its members include: [sic], Maceo Tha GrammarGod, Voo da Teach, Paul E. Tick, FLO-D, St. Cule, and Element.

Throughout this excursion, he’s showcased his skills as one of Hip-Hop's best-kept secrets. And despite the lack of promotional backing and lack of support upcoming artist receive from Detroit's media outlets and mainstream music venues, he refuses to give up. But make no mistake; it’s the lyrical approach that separates Maceo from the multitude of Rap artists. He believes in staying true to the grass roots of Hip-Hop…. when rocking the microphone was more boasting about your skills as an MC, than your materialistic possessions. When asked about his style of rap, and how it fits into the Rap industry, he simply states, "My style is a style that's not a style. I'm too versatile to be classified as a certain type of MC." I also asked him about the lost art of ‘Free-styling’, and how it fits into the Hip/Hop culture. He stated, "It’s an important aspect of being an MC….it helps with creativity and exercises the mind". He also mentioned that being able to drop a battle verse/song is also important.

I asked Maceo one last question, perhaps the most important question of all…what will set him apart from the other Rappers in the music industry? He simply stated, "See, there are 'Rappers', and then there are MC's…. I'm an MC, and that's the biggest difference between them and me. MC stands for 'Master of Ceremony', and a good Master of Ceremony has the entire package…. and that's what I got". With credentials in the underground Hip-Hop community, and a demo full of good music, Maceo Tha GrammarGod should be a very hot commodity once he's snatched up. 'Nuff said.
