Musician and producer Bruce Mack, operating under the artistic banner of B-MACK, is a veteran of the New York music scene, known for his versatility as a vocalist, composer and instrumentalist. With a career spanning several decades, he’s left a lasting mark on the music landscape, contributing significantly to various ensembles and showcasing his talent across a multitude of musical styles.
As an original member and former president of the Black Rock Coalition, he’s been a driving force in blending funk, rhythm & blues and alternative influences into his projects. Since launching his solo career with the single “Transparent Matter” in 2017, B-MACK has proven himself a prolific creator.
His extensive discography includes multiple well-received releases, from singles and remixes to EPs and full-length records. Throughout his career, he’s collaborated with a variety of artists, including Rene Ojeda, Sharif Kales, his outfit Nubian Messengers, Kojo Ayinde Johnson, Iyedun Ince and DJ CrazyEd.
Having recently collaborated with guitarist Ben Tyree on the single “Silent Witness” with drums performed by Chris Eddleton, he now brings us the other track from the double-single with the curiously titled song, “Duckgrease Burning at The Crabhouse.” Featuring the vocal talents of MsLarayne, “Duckgrease Burning at The Crabhouse” was produced entirely by Bruce Mack himself at his home studio on Staten Island.
Serving up an instantly grooving jam full of infectious rhythm, catchy vocal hooks and a shimmering arrangement of twanging guitar, pulsing bass lines and colourful textures, “Duckgrease Burning at The Crabhouse” offers another display of B-MACK’s engaging and highly original sound. Jumping straight in with a pounding beat and lively vocalisations, the shuffling and kick of the drums propels grooving bass guitar and intricate plucks as B-MACK spins smooth vocal leads above.
With the bounce of off-beat piano chords, MsLarayne’s voice joins to provide a soulful pairing as the two artist’s lay down an alluring duet that flutters between elegant melodic aesthetic and funky, danceable energy. Once again showcasing his collaborative spirit with another compelling single, B-MACK continues to build on his decorated music career and we can’t wait to see what he’s got in store next.
