SAVE THE DATE: Mack Wilds Solo Concert At Sob’s In Nyc On December 23, 2013

Returning to the stage at SOB’s in New York Cityon December 23rd Mack Wilds will be performing his first solo-concert, after recently performing a sold-out Hot 97’s Who’s Next Live showcase.

Mack Wilds’ debut album New York: A Love Story, depicts a story of love and loss vividly against sounds arranged by remarkable producers like DJ Premier, Pete Rock and Havoc and GRAMMY®-Nominated producer SalaAM ReMi. Leading up to the first week of its release, the album generated significant buzz and debuted at No. 28 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart as well as placing on Billboard’s 200, alongside albums released by artists such as Zendaya, Tim McGraw and Lana Del Ray.

Following his first chart appearance, Mack was featured in Billboard's "Bubbling Under," which highlighted him as a new and noteworthy act. In a music review by Jon Caramanica published in the New York Times, he describes the album as “a surprisingly elegant and convincing revival of mid-1990s hip-hop-soul and early 2000s New York hip-hop.”

“Own It,” the lead single off of the album co-written by Mack Wilds and R&B superstar Ne-Yo, is currently standing at No. 16 on R&B/Hip-Hop National Airplay chart, as well as No. 5 on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Most Added and at No. 5 on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Most Increased Plays. The corresponding video http://youtu.be/ki4Z203UDy8, which follows Mack in his hometown of Staten Island, has generated significant views on VEVO and YouTube alike, and recently, a special re-mix of “Own It” was released featuring hip hop Boss Rick Ross.

Other major outlets that have featured Mack Wilds include The Wall Street Journal, New York Daily News, New York Post, BET.com, Huffington Post and VIBE, and in addition,Mack has performed his hit single on notable television shows such as The Wendy Williams Show, BET’s 106 & Park and FOX’s Good Day New York.
