Also, I think something of his friendship and links to other bay area rappers and producers should be noted, though this stuff is harder to root out (I'm thinking of his friendships and beefs with people like Mac Mall, 90's producer Khayree) - not too much, but just a little of the confirmable details. I added a bunch of stuff and fixed some facts, and will try to do some polishing later (links, more elegant sentences/paragraphs, etc). Some background information about the events which inspire some of his songs (such as Romper Room robbery incident) would help as well. It would be great if we add some information about his career, such as hit singles collaborations, discography, death, etc. I would suggest adding 'convicted felon' to his summary and add Sacramento to his 'based in'. Moreover, he was based in both Vallejo and Sacramento according to the article sources.
' Mac Dre was a convicted criminal, and the article pretty much documents that.
'Andre Louis Hicks (J– November 1, 2004), better known by his stage name Mac Dre, was an American rapper, hip hop pioneer, and record producer based in Vallejo, California.
