FAVORITE FOOD: Martin: Cheddar's ribs
FAVORITE ARTIST: Waters: T.I.
MUSICAL ROOTS: Martin: "I've been writing music since I was in elementary school. ... It was just something that I was always interested in from the get-go. I always wanted to make music."
THEIR WORST GIG: Toys for Tots benefit, parking lot of Toys R Us, 2009. Waters: "There was nobody there. It was cold. ... (We had) two cord mikes, so we weren't really able to move around like we wanted to. ... We made the best of it, though. The little bit of people that were there, they did show us love, and we appreciate it."
FAVORITE ALBUMS: Waters: Trap Muzik and I'm Serious, T.I.; Man on the Moon: The End of Day, Kid Cudi; Ready to Die, The Notorious B.I.G.; 808s & Heartbreak and Graduation, Kanye West; The Blueprint, Jay Z; Tha Carter, Lil Wayne

FAVORITE MOVIES: Martin: Superbad, Scarface, Menace II Society, The Woods and all of Will Ferrell's movies
SONGWRITING PROCESS: Waters: "Not to seem cocky, because Mac and Slim are the most humble people you will ever meet, but the songwriting process is really the easiest process. We can be sitting in the house bored, and we come across a beat, and then next thing you know we just freestyle and ideas just come to us." - The Augusta Chronicle

Bio

Mac X Slim, a product of Augusta, GA, are probably one of the most innovative groups to emerge out of Georgia. With their "streets meets intellectual" persona, they are sure to reach the masses with their message. One half of the group, Abstrak Mac, 22, brings the more creative side of the group from an intellectual standing point while Slim LeCrooks, 22, brings more of a street edge to the group; raw, uncut, and straight to the point. They met in 2005, Mac was a producer and Slim was a solo artist. They found that their chemistry was unmatched and decided that they should take this journey together, which formed Mac X Slim.
