Mack 10 is the debut solo studio album by American rapper Mack 10. It was released on June 20, 1995, via Priority Records.[1] The album was produced by Ice Cube, 88 X Unit, Dr. Jam, Madness 4 Real, DJ Crazy Toones, and Mack 10. It features guest appearances from K-Dee, Westside Connection, and the Mary Jane Girls.
The album peaked at number 33 on the Billboard 200 and went Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on September 12, 1995. The song "Foe Life" was used in the 1997 film Anaconda, starring producer Ice Cube.
The Chicago Tribune noted that Mack 10's "crime is that his rhymes do little to elucidate the pathos of living with violence as a viable—if not necessary—option... Although Mack 10 has his mentor's sneer and a funkier sound, he has little of Cube's vitality."
