September 2025 — Music Industry News
A decade after its original release, hip-hop artist Macatizm is seeing renewed attention for his track “Who Got Them Pies,” a record born from struggle, survival, and the relentless grind of an artist trying to break through without the right connections. Now resurfacing through the music‑promotion platform Groover, the song is gaining fresh momentum—and industry curators are taking notice.
A Song Forged in the Fire of Real-Life Hustle
“Who Got Them Pies” was created during one of the most difficult chapters of Macatizm’s life. As he explains, the track emerged from a period when he and his partners were hustling hard but constantly hitting walls—unable to connect with the right people, unable to secure the opportunities that could change their circumstances, and unable to retire from the grind that was wearing them down.
Instead of giving up, Macatizm turned the frustration into fuel.
The result was a record that captures the urgency, hunger, and street-level reality of trying to make something out of nothing. It’s a song that reflects the mindset of someone who’s been overlooked but refuses to be counted out.
Industry Curators Respond: “A Solid 10 Out of 10”
The track recently landed on the radar of This Is Hip Hop HQ, a respected curator on Groover known for spotlighting authentic, high‑quality hip-hop talent. Their response was immediate and enthusiastic.
In a detailed review, curator Mr. Benjamins praised the track’s effortless flow and hypnotic delivery, comparing its vibe to the catalogs of 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa. According to the feedback, Macatizm’s cadence “doesn’t just float on the beat; it owns its space,” creating a chill, immersive energy that listeners can ride to without interruption.
The curator awarded the track a perfect score—10 out of 10—and committed to sharing it across platforms, including YouTube, SoundCloud, Twitch, and social media. The endorsement also included an open invitation for Macatizm to seek further guidance, promotion, and industry support.
A Track Rediscovered in 2025
Though originally released on July 10, 2015, “Who Got Them Pies” is now positioned for a second life. Groover’s system currently lists the track under its “To Be Shared” category, alongside other rising artists awaiting publication and exposure.
Macatizm’s profile—representing the United States and rooted in hip-hop/rap—sits among more than 100 tracks queued for sharing by curators. While some required materials (press release, HD photos, download link) are still pending, the excitement around the track is already building.
Why the Song Still Resonates Today
In an era where authenticity is currency, “Who Got Them Pies” stands out because it isn’t manufactured—it’s lived. The track reflects:
- The grind of independent artists trying to break into an industry that often rewards connections over talent.
- The emotional weight of survival, especially when opportunities feel out of reach.
- The resilience of creators who turn struggle into art instead of surrender.
Its renewed visibility in 2025 speaks to the timelessness of its message and the raw honesty of its delivery.
What’s Next for Macatizm
With curators now backing the track and new listeners discovering it through Groover, Macatizm is positioned for a resurgence. The support from This Is Hip Hop HQ opens doors for:
- Playlist placements
- Social media amplification
- Live event opportunities
- Networking with industry professionals
- Potential collaborations
As Mr. Benjamins put it, the consistency and style Macatizm is building “have real replay value.”
A Reminder That Real Stories Still Matter in Hip-Hop
“Who Got Them Pies” is more than a song—it’s a snapshot of a moment in an artist’s life when pressure, ambition, and survival collided. It’s a reminder that some of the most compelling music comes from the trenches, long before the spotlight arrives.
And now, ten years later, the world is finally catching up.
