Mac Tyer : "Mon challenge, c'est de réussir à écrire de nouveaux titres" | Interview

Mac Tyer has one of the most surprising careers in French rap. After nearly 15 years in the underground scene, both as a duo (with Tandem) and as a solo artist, "Le Général" made his major label debut with his controversial signing to Maître Gims' Monstre Marin label. The release of his new album, "Je Suis Une Légende" (I Am a Legend), allows us to revisit the philosophy and story of this artist, from his roots in Aubervilliers, his relationship to rap and religion; but above all, Mac Tyer speaks candidly about the loss of his brother, Bigou.
