Whats mac dres real name?
Andre Hicks aka. Mac Dre was born to Wanda Salvatto in Oakland, California but moved to Vallejo, California while still a child. [ Under the stage name "Mac Dre", Hicks began his rap career in the early 1980s, gaining a greater degree of recognition in the late eighties and early nineties.[1]
After recording his first three albums between 1989 and 1991, Mac Dre was charged with conspiracy to commit bank robbery. Hicks's record label, Romp Productions, and his many references to "Romper Room" in his songs, bore a similarity to a group of robbers targeting banks and pizza parlors who were
active in Vallejo at the time called the "Romper Room Gang." Hicks, alleged by authorities to be a member of the gang, was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank robbery and was sentenced to five years in prison in 1992 after refusing a deal offered by law enforcement authorities that would have required him to inform on other gang members.[2] ]
