A Movement

Rap artists these days come and go as often as the flu. Although common, they are less often as ‘sick’ as the flu, per se. It takes something really special to stick out from the crowd this day and age; especially when so many seem to sound the same. Nine-teen year old Ironton resident Mac Carter has set that bar for many rap artists in our area.

Mac Carter says he has been messing around with music since he was five years old. “When I was younger, I would just sing songs but I would change the lyrics to something I would have put. Like, a song my sister would play, if I didn’t like it I’d just change up the lyrics,” he said. “Since then I have learned how to write my music, I know how to place my bars, the flow. I’ve learned how to better the layout of the beat basically, just overall improvement in everything.”

Every artist has an influence that turned them onto the rap game and for Mac Carter that influence was New York City rapper 50 Cent. He says the Interscope Records recording artist played a big part in his venture into the rap scene. “Listening to him is what, gave me the idea that I could do it.” Now days, Mac says his main influence is his team, “Hearing Tevin’s new music, Clayton, TK…just the team. That’s the influence right there, the team.”

Coming from an area where there are virtually no outlets for local artists, the ultimate goal is to become known and put their city on the map. With a well-grounded fan base and plenty of self-PR and promoting, Mac Carter managed to make it to the No. 3 spot on Hot New Hip Hops Up-coming Artist Top 100 with the song “Touch the Ground” he did with local rapper Danny Kegstand.

It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, discipline and consistency for one to gain recognition in this industry. Carter says you have to show how hungry you are at every given opportunity. “I’m making this known that this is what I want. If I’m going out and peoples talking about rap, I’m like hey I rap, you know and I’ll spit them something,” he says. “If I’m traveling I’m taking my mic with me just because you never know what’s going to happen that day. Just make it known, that’s how I got where I am today.”

Carter says he would like to see other local artists be more supportive of each other. “I’d like to see more people step out of their element to do something for our community and the city. Whether they’re doing collaborations or creating venues for artists to perform, just support each other.”

Mac Carter takes advantage of every opportunity to perform given to him. If he has to travel, that is something he is more than willing to do. He has a show coming up this month on the 16th in Columbus, OH at Bernie’s and frequents the Whiskey River in South Point, OH. He has a single scheduled to be released in March titled “Liberation” which he says he feels is his best song yet. You can listen to Mac Carter’s music on Hot New Hip Hop, Soundcloud and Youtube by searching "Mac Carter" and reach him on Twitter .

A Ministry of Music

When some people hear the word "Christian," they automatically assume that those who identify themselves as such are just plain, boring and holier than thou hypocrites. A perception often misconceived is what brought four young men together to break down that wall of confusion. AJ Tackett, Kyle Ingle and Chase Earl were all rounded up by Youth Pastor, Jason Mullins to form the Christian Metal band, “Surviving the Deep.”

With a sound like popular groups P.O.D. and Rage Against the Machine, Surviving the Deep sits at No. 4 on Reverb Nations Metal charts for the Ashland, KY area. The band has an ever growing fan base and says one of their greatest accomplishments is seeing people being saved at their shows. “This one girl in West Virginia came up to us after a show and said that was the first time in like 5 years that she had felt the freedom to worship in her own way and be happy,” the band said. “Its little comments like that, that does it for us.”

Overcoming a past with drugs and alcohol, Lead Singer Jason Mullins says it was God that pulled him out of that lifestyle. “I make a point between songs at shows to put out there where God has brought me from. This band itself is a ministry to lead people to God because we are all broken in one way or another,” says Mullins. “Who wants to hear from a virgin preacher that’s never done anything wrong? They would rather hear from someone who has been there and done that. I’ve been there and done that and they can relate to me.”

Being a rare breed in our area, there is not a big market for “hardcore” Christian Music. Mullins says, “We play Metal because we are trying to reach a younger crowd but we can’t get shows around here because everyone wants Southern Gospel and Hymns.” Mullins adds that the band usually travels between 50 to 200 miles for gigs and has traveled as far as 500 miles. They have a show coming up May 16th in Princeton, WV on the Phenomenal Tour 2013.

Coming from being a band with zero merchandise, Surviving the Deep has recently stepped up their game. They now have stickers, t-shirts, c.d.’s, posters and more that they sale at their shows. Another great come up from them is that they have also recently acquired a sponsorship from SOZO Guitars. Some other bands that SOZO sponsors are Saliva, Family Force 5 and Fireflight.

Offering up plenty of positive advice for other artists in our area, the quote that stood out the most was something that Bassist, Kyle Ingle said. “Don’t let someone be the reason why you couldn’t get somewhere. That’s what someone told me that could have gone somewhere but didn’t because they let somebody get in their way. Just don’t give up.” You can listen to Surviving the Deep’s music and watch their videos at www.reverbnation.com/survivingthedeep. You can also stay up on all the latest news from them via their page by searching “Surviving the Deep” in pages.
