CRITIC’S PICK: FattMack
Recommended by Joshua Robinson as part of Creative Loafing’s May 2026 Critic’s Picks
Wed. May 13
FattMack
Center Stage
Throw whatever you think of when you hear about a new rapper coming out of Mobile, Alabama, out the window. FattMack is different. McKenzie “FattMack” Haynes is a 21-year-old artist who follows the Southern Hip-hoptradition of deeply personal lyricism and embraces rap’s current melodic, genre-bending sound. His latest body of work “McKenzie” arrived at the tail-end of 2025, and his upcoming headlining McKenzie Tour, which was supposed to support the project, has already sold out across all 10 dates. Fortunately, resale prices are not too high, so if you want to see the Mobile, Alabama breakout star and potential 2026 XXL Freshman kick off his forthcoming tour at Center Stage, secure your tickets while you still can. — Joshua Robinson
