The shooting death of Mac Dre in 2004 shocked the hip-hop world, but NBA legend Steph Curry is determined not to let his memory go unnoticed

Curry’s production business, Unanimous Media, has revealed to Billboard that it is now working on a documentary about the life of the Bay Area legend. All parties involved in the project, including Mac Dre’s mother, are enthusiastic about what’s to come, even though it’s unclear when the film will be ready for showing.

Wanda Salvatto, Dre’s mother, told the outlet about the project: “I look forward to sharing how from Andre’s dreams of rapping emerged a blueprint that not only inspired a generation but also became a guide to conquering obstacles and fulfilling their entrepreneurial dreams.”

Curry continued, “Mac Dre is a cultural icon who, through his music and innovative creativity, made a tremendous impact on the Bay Area and beyond.” “We are privileged to collaborate with Wanda, the amazing mother of Mac Dre, in narrating her son’s life story with dignity and respect for music enthusiasts, the Bay Area community, and fans alike.”

Salvatto’s conversation with none other than Drake served as the impetus for the 2016 release of the documentary Legend of the Bay on Apple.

Drake and I had a meeting in San Francisco. “We had a conversation where he discussed with me the influence Mac Dre had on his life and career, his current endeavors, and the significant influence Mac Dre had on Drake as a young boy,” she remarked at the time. After hearing it, I began to realize that perhaps I really should do this. Andre would undoubtedly be leveraging and raking in as much cash as possible if he were still living.

Wiz Khalifa, Tech N9ne, E-40, Berner, Too $hort, DJ Quik, Wanda Mac, Warren G, and others were interviewed for the documentary Legend of the Bay, which chronicles the late rapper’s ascent to prominence and his impact on the Thizz movement and compilations.

“His daughter and I kind of like went into seclusion for a while up, for I’d say up to about eight years after he passed,” Salvatto declared. You should be aware that his passing and everything else left us feeling incredibly sad, angry, and traumatized. The difficult thing for us was that, after his death, he rose to even greater prominence in the public eye, so we never really had a chance to grieve or mourn in private.

Salvatto realized she should honor her son’s legacy and became aware of the impact he had on music after their conversation with Drake.

She explains, “I finally reached a place where I could see it from that perspective.” “I’ve been more open to making money off of the name and the reputation in recent years, which is why I founded Andre Lewis Enterprise Company. Actually, I’ve owned that company and Thizz Entertainment. I wasn’t proud of it for a long time, but I am now, and I believe that conversation began with Drake and other upcoming performers like the Jabbawockeez. They explained to me how they open their performance with a Mac Dre spoof, imitating the rapper.
