Heretic Klick Taking Over the Texas Music Scene and Giving up the Underground Tag

The Tamez brothers, Eddie (Sin-X) and Marcus (Wicked-T), have made the underground rap scene their home. The duo, popularly known by their stage name, Heretic Klick, has made great and relatable music for both their fans and lovers of good music for over ten years. The pair is originally from Lubbock, Texas, but has now made Arlington, TX, their permanent home. And like many fellow rap heads in the game, the pair own their record label, Rabble Rouza Records, under whose imprint their materials are published and distributed globally.

Heretic Klick began in 2005 in a local bar in Arlington, Texas, when the brother decided to get on the stage and freestyle to a crowd of about 200 people. This performance was 200 hearty cheers from a crowd that is mainly made up of strangers. From this moment on, they felt they could go professional and make a career out of music, and since then, they haven’t looked back. With over 90,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and over 200 million streams on all platforms, Heretic Klick is most certainly not a pushover. They owe their musical and rap influences to rappers like 2Pac, Esham, TechN9ne, and Rockstars like Slikpnot, Hellyeah, and Pantera. Despite the influences from different genres and backgrounds, the duo has successfully created their unique sound and style, with a killer performance to go alongside their gritty sound. They are well on their way to make a stamp in the music scene. 

Heretic Klick has been described as a versatile and multidimensional music group that can touch on as many issues as possible with their music. Their music cuts across topics such as love, politics, heartbreak, and so on. In their versatility, they are exposed as a multi-genre music group because they are more than just a rap group. “We have elements of rock, dubstep, trap, jazz, oldies, classic rock, and many other music genres for any audience to enjoy.” 

In addition, as part of the group Corporate Social Responsibility, they occasionally perform for free in their community during special events to raise money or awareness on issues affecting the community at large. “We have had benefits to raise money and awareness for cancer, and we have raised money for struggling families in our communities. We love to be involved in our community and help others when we can, and we do it with our music which is super rewarding,” Marcus explained.

Music is not audience-specific; however, certain genres are demographic-centric, and because of the type of music that comes out of the Heretic Klick, it is believed that anybody who loves to listen to music would find their songs relatable, although people in their 20s and late 30s will most likely enjoy the music more than any other person would.

Marcus understands that aiming for the highest level possible is not too much for the Heretic Klick, considering the amount of work they have put in through the years as a rap group who breaks boundaries, uniting people and contributing to their immediate society. However, when asked where he sees the group five years from now, he said, “We see ourselves creating more music for the masses and being recognized for our talents and creativity, we see ourselves climbing the charts, soaring to unimaginable heights with our music and our hard work. We also hope to achieve success in all aspects of our lives, and the future looks bright; we can’t tell the future, but we can plan for it, and we are planning for success.”

Macntaj Withstands All Trials to Solidify His Brand Presence in Music

Making it in the music industry can be challenging, as the odds of landing a deal and reaching the multitudes gets thinner with time. Millions of artists are now vying for a place on the big stage, but many fall short. Fortunately, Macntaj is not one of them. After landing a seven-figure deal with Sacramento label Bloc Star Evolution, he’s showing the world that he has what it takes to go down the annals of music greatness.

Macntaj is a rapper and artist who has split time between Sacramento, California, and Seattle, Washington State, over the past few years. He’s best known for tracks like “Freefall,” “Hood Burger,” “Love The Same,” “Look Up,” and many others. However, what people remember most about the artist’s hard-hitting tracks is amplified by a series of music videos that have never missed the mark and continue to gain traction and viewers. The artist has over two million views on YouTube and continues to grow that number with time. 

In the past, Macntaj faced hardships after artist Tory Lanez plagiarized his song and music video, “Hood Burger.” But the artist bounced back from that challenge and proved his originality by releasing a slew of songs and music videos with a distinct flavor and style. Today, he continues to climb up the ladder of musical success with every new release.

On August 13, 2021, he is set to release his magnum opus, Big Bloc Meign. This album will showcase his emotional journey in music and life. Laying all of his cards on the table, Macntaj will reveal his hardships, failures, and ultimate success through the album. 

Macntaj has an uncanny resilience because the trial has always been a part of his narrative. He knew that he loved music from an early age, but life hasn’t always gone his way. Despite fortune disfavoring him at many turns, the artist chose to carve his own path and build his own opportunities. Macntaj grew up in a single-mother household with a brother who wanted to become a professional boxer and use his younger sibling as target practice. Yet despite all that, the overcomer continued to persevere in life. 

At one point, he would pick up required General Education Development units and work as a cashier in Walmart. He worked his way up until he got an opportunity to work in finance. He faced many doubters and opposers, but he always found a way to get past every obstacle. Macntaj carried that same perseverance when he would start pursuing music professionally. “I always believed in myself, always believed my brand offered something different,” shares the artist. I’ve never claimed to be anything that I wasn’t.” That authenticity would become his armor and help him get to the top of every circle or community he entered.  He also started collaborating with other top-level artists like X-Raided, King Leez, Jerome Dillard, and many others. 

Macntaj will be one of the first to admit that life isn’t always easy. “Everything I put in my music is from my life and nobody else’s,” adds the artist. “The good, the bad, and the ugly. I want to show kids who feel like the world is against them that they can succeed.” He hopes that his music and story would inspire other artists to continue pursuing their love for their craft despite all the challenges. Learn more about Macntaj and listen to his music by checking out his website and YouTube channel.
