“Mac Dre: Ghost Ride the Game” follows the electrifying and untold journey of Mac Dre—a man whose name rings through the Bay Area and beyond, but whose true story has been obscured by myth and mystery. From his early days as an ambitious young rapper in Vallejo to his rise as the underground king of hyphy, the film captures the soul of an artist who lived by his own rules and sparked a cultural revolution that continues to echo through the streets and airwaves. The story begins in the late ’80s, with a young Andre Hicks recording tracks with friends, dreaming of taking his unique, West Coast sound to the world. His hustle and vision are clear, but so are the dangers of the environment around him. When a series of run-ins with the law leads to a prison sentence, Dre is faced with a choice: let the system break him, or build his legend from behind bars. Dre emerges not defeated but emboldened, a changed man ready to flip the script. Set against the pulsating beats of the Bay, Ghost Ride the Game weaves together moments of explosive joy and deep tension as Dre helps pioneer the Hyphy movement, creating music that captures the freedom and rebellion of a generation. While his career takes off, the movie also dives into Dre's battles—trust, family, and the ever-present tension between fame and the streets. His infectious energy draws friends and fans, but it also attracts those who would exploit him.
