Jamal Rocker (born June 14, 1975), known professionally as Mac Mall, is an American rapper from the San Francisco Bay Area who became known in the mid-late 1990s.
Mac Mall signed with the record label, Young Black Brotha Records, and later came to own the label for the production of his own albums, and those of associates.[1]
The music video for one of Mac Mall's first singles, "Ghetto Theme" (1993), was directed by Tupac Shakur.[2] He was also longtime friends with Mac Dre, who was his mentor early on in his career.[3] Mac Mall is also the cousin of E-40,[2] B-Legit, and Sway Calloway.[citation needed]
