About Mac Tyer
Born in Aubervilliers in 1979, French rap artist Mac Tyer first became known as a member of Tandem, and the rather bleak outlook and hard-edged lyricism he displayed in that duo (also featuring MC Mac Kregor) were further developed on his solo debut, Patrimoine du Ghetto. Tyer's follow-up record, Le Général, an alias he often uses, featured more politically charged material, partially in response to the riots of 2005. Addressing street life and societal challenges faced by French Blacks, Tyer turned a corner with the 2006 release, using his lyrical prowess to do more than entertain. Tyer's next album, Hat-Trick, was released in 2010, and 2012's Untouchable featured a reunion with Tandem bandmate Mac Kregor on the track "Marche Comme un Soldat." ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
