Ghost Machine, Alcynoos & Parental - M.A.P. - 2026
Born from an instrumental tribute to the legendary J Dilla, M.A.P evolved over four years into a unique creative journey shared by three artists. Far more than a simple rap project built around existing beats, the album blends the productions of Alcynoos and Parental with Mattic's lyrical and experimental universe. Through his alter ego Ghost Machine, Mattic pushes the boundaries between vocals, samples, textures and sound manipulation, becoming an integral part of the production process. The result is a distinctive work at the crossroads of hip-hop, sonic experimentation and creative exploration, where three artistic visions come together to shape a rich and deeply original project.

Big Red & Diamond D - Created A Monster - 1995
Big Red released this 12" alongside the legendary Diamond D on Payday Records in 1995. This remains Big Red's only official release. It contains the lead single "Created A Monster" (Radio & Instrumental) on the A-side and the track "How They Want It" (Radio, Dirty & Instrumental) featuring Diamond D on the B-side.
Big Red hails from the Bronx, NY (White Plains Road area) and was a member of the group The Fantastic 4, with K.Terror a.k.a K.Terroribul, John Dough and Los Angeles-based rapper Ras Kass. The group's production was handled by Diamond D. They released a single titled "You're In The Wrong Place" in 1998, which appears on the B-side of Diamond D's 12-inch single "With The Dope Sound", released on Dusty Fingers Records.
The Fantastic 4 was formed in the mid-late 90s, bringing together Big Red, John Dough, Diamond D and K.Terror (now known as Terror Van Poo), who had all grown up on the same block when they were kids. K.Terror had been Diamond D's hype man on tour since the early '90s and had already appeared on Diamond D's first two albums. As for John Dough, he was part of the hype crew in the early 90s for another D.I.T.C. member, Fat Joe. The connection between the crew and RasKass first happened when Diamond D worked with him on his "Soul On Ice" album. Diamond D produced a few instrumentals for him but Ras Kass didn't pick them and they don't appear on the album. That's all I know about the connection between the group members and despite the group's huge potential, no album was ever released unfortunately...
Information about Big Red's disappearance from the New York hip-hop scene after that remains unclear. I do know that he later pursued a high level career in combat sports, which may explain why he didn't become more involved in the rap game. "Created A Monster" is a really good 12" in my opinion and definitely one to have in your record collection. Grab a copy if you find one ! Peace
