MacArthur Maze is an Oakland five-MC ensemble Blvck Achilles, Champ Green, D.Bledsoe, Ian Kelly, and Roux Shankle backed by a four-producer engine room led by turntablist DJ D Sharp and S. Kaminski. Following their well-received 2023 debut "Blvck Saturday," "Unaltered Egos" is the follow-up, and "Cheers" brings back Jane Handcock, a guest voice from that first record. The crew has been explicit about honoring Bay Area lineage from Too $hort to Hieroglyphics without leaning into nostalgia, and this cut leans into live instrumentation guitar, bass, horns over straight sample work.
