Craig Jamieson Mack (May 10, 1970[1] – March 12, 2018) was an American rapper and record producer. He was most famous during his tenure under Bad Boy Records where his single "Flava In Ya Ear" (1994) was a crossover hit in both rap and pop charts. The remix of that song was the first time Notorious B.I.G. was featured in a song.[2] Mack's second album Operation: Get Down was released by Street Life Records.

Later in his life, Mack joined the Overcomer Ministry in South Carolina.[3] Mack died in 2018 due to HIV/AIDS complications at the age of 46.[4]
