Talent is important, but without hunger and drive you won’t get anywhere in this business. On The Campaign, Michigan-bred duo The Specktators show us that they definitely have the talent, as well as the passion and hunger. Moe-T, the group’s resident beatsmith, cooks up an energetic, echoing instrumental that is the perfect complement to collaborator Packi’s charismatic flow. On the mic, with a tangible desire in his voice, Packi lets us know that he is determined to get to the top no matter what, even if it means leaving a special lady in the rear view mirror. Sucks for her, but you must follow your dreams, right? For more exuberant, hungry hip-hop, check out the group’s debut album, The Parlay, due out in December. - DJBooth
We've mentioned Packy a couple of times on our site in the past, and today we've got a new one for you. We're slightly behind on this one admittedly, but considering end of the year tracks have a harder time to get the exposure they need, we're slightly okay with breaking our rule for this one.
The rapper, who is a part of The Spectators Collective, goes absolutely in on "I'm the One," and proves exactly just what the title of the song suggests. His most recent mixtape was released last December, and is available for free download. Check out the stream for his tape, as well as the video, below, and snag the download here. - Earmilk

The Specktators are an amazing Hip Hop duo that's taking the music industry by storm. I had the amazing opportunity to chat with the two brothers for Dopeness Magazine.

Bio
Born and raised in Lansing, MI, Packy began as the emcee in rapper/producer duo, The Specktators. In 2011, The Specktators hit the scene with their first official mixtape, "Familiar With Floss." This mixtape was followed up by two more, "The Sunroom" and "About That Life", the latter of which resulted in 150,000+ downloads. In December 2013, The Specktators relocated to Los Angeles, CA and released their first official album, "The Parlay," on iTunes and other digital stores. "The Parlay" debuted at #6 on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart.
In 2014, The Specktators transitioned into an independent label headed by Moe-T (the producer half of The Specktators) and Packy became a solo artist under the label that he helped to build.
In addition to his undeniable work as a writer and recording artist, Packy delivers an unforgettable live show. Throughout the early years of his career, Packy became a fixture in the Lansing hip-hop scene. Beginning with open mic sets and opening for local artists, Packy quickly developed his live show and stage presence to the point of selling out his local venue in Lansing and embarking on two nationwide tours in early 2014. He has shared the stage with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Machine Gun Kelly, Kid Ink, Timeflies, Chiddy Bang, Rockie Fresh, Yonas, SoMo, and many more.
Priding himself on hard work, energy, fan interaction, and dedication to his craft, Packy has independently built a fan base whose loyalty is unmatched. Look for Packy to be the next big name in hip-hop.
