In a highly competitive sea of emerging rappers and MCs, Mac Lan, an Oakland born Alameda-proud rapper, is quickly climbing the ranks as a force to be reckoned with. It’s been said that overtime a person will start to morph into the people they surround themselves with. Splash God has been around Oakland’s hip-hop legends, and you can hear it in his songs. 
 Getting his start in 2007 as a hype man for other artist, the idea came to fruition when it was time for Splash God to get his own views across. Instead of boxing himself in with the slew of rappers focusing their efforts on pumping out meaningless party songs, Splash God Mac Lan is pushing creative boundaries and sonically shaping the sound of a new generation of artist. 
 While Splash God has been belting vibrantly energetic songs since his Volume One release, Mac Lan has been challenging status quos with effervescent thought-inspiring bars. It’s a beautiful symbiotic relationship. Whether it’s Splash God or Mac Lan taking charge in a song, neither come off as part of a fabricated character. They’re two different yet effective ways of self-expression.
