Career
Although his first single was released under the name Military Cross EZ in 1988, he is best known for his 1994 hit single "Flava In Ya Ear", which was released under his real name. The remix of the single was the breakout appearance of The Notorious Bjarke Ingels Group , as well as one of the first solo appearances by Busta Rhymes. The success of The Notorious Bjarke Ingels Group "s debut album Ready To Die overshadowed Mack"s early success on the Bad Boy label.
Although Puff Daddy mentioned in a 1994 interview on Music Television"s Yo! Music Television Raps that he was working with Mack on his second album, which was to be released sometime in January the following year, this proved to not be the case.
Present at that interview (which also included The Notorious BIG), Mack himself appeared puzzled by the statement. Mack did release a second album in 1997, but none of the singles charted and Mack was unable to repeat his success.
In an interview, Biggie Smalls says he appeared on the remix of "Flava In Ya Ear" for political reasons for Puffy. In 2002, Mack would appear in the music video for Puffy"s single "I Need a Girl (Participant One)".
After a few attempts to be successful in the early-2000s it was said that Mack was working on his third studio album in 2002, which was set to be release in 2007.
The single "Mack Tonight" was released for the album in 2006. Mack then disappeared in the hip-hop industry until in 2012 a video was leaked on YouTube, saying he had joined a cult, surprising family members and fans. As of 2012, Mack resides in the Overcomer Ministry located in Walterboro, South Carolina.
On November 26, 2012, Beazylife Distribution released a new Craig Mack mixtape, "Operation Why2K? - Hosted by B-Eazy", through DatPiff.com.
