Cre8ive MC Drops Debut Album ‘Make Sure They Spell Your Name Right’ — Out Now Exclusively on His Website

After years away, NJ’s Cre8ive MC returns with his debut album 'Make Sure They Spell Your Name Right' — out now exclusively on his website.

NJ, UNITED STATES, July 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After years away from the mic, New Jersey-based hip-hop and spoken word artist Cre8ive MC is officially back with the release of his debut album, 'Make Sure They Spell Your Name Right,' available exclusively now on his website.

Glenn Paul Simon, known to the mic as Cre8ive MC, has been a fixture on the North Jersey open mic scene, steadily building buzz with his quick wit, emotional honesty, and electric performances. His first full-length project is more than just an introduction; it’s a statement of purpose.

"This album was something I needed to do for myself," says Cre8ive MC. "After a hiatus from making music, I needed to know I was worth it as an artist — and that I could carry out my full vision.”

'Make Sure They Spell Your Name Right' unfolds in three parts, taking listeners on a journey through identity, introspection, and resilience. The opening tracks bring high energy and clever lyricism, introducing the persona of Cre8ive MC with confident bars and punchy wordplay. By track 4, the album pivots inward, exploring duality, unrequited love (“Come Back Home”), depression, and self-doubt. The final section is a joyful release, a palate cleanser that highlights his humor, humanity, and love for the culture. Tracks like “Boiled Peanuts” show his playful side and reflect on his rap journey: obstacles, growth, and a triumphant return.

The album is honest, lyrical, and packed with storytelling. From the beats to the bars, Cre8ive MC bridges golden-era hip-hop influences with a modern twist, creating a soundscape that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Thematically, the record explores identity, mental health, resilience, and joy, offering a full picture of the artist behind the mic.

The recording process was split between two studios: The Sweatshop, with longtime collaborator John “Reapa” Ruggiero, and The Vault Studio in Boonton, NJ, with Tyler Braddock. Both environments helped shape the sound of an artist determined to evolve while staying rooted in authenticity.

The album title, Make Sure They Spell Your Name Right, is both literal and symbolic. "If you let people spell your name wrong, what else will you let them get away with? Your name is your identity. You have to correct them. You have to claim your space." The message is about ownership, self-respect, and making sure the world sees you for who you truly are.

Over the years, Cre8ive MC has built a strong reputation in the live performance space. He’s opened for icons like Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Cannibal Ox, and Common, and shared the stage with Talib Kweli. He was a featured artist at the Madison Community Arts Center and led a poetry performance workshop at the Madison Arts & Culture Community Center, further establishing his role not just as an artist, but as a contributor to his local creative community.

He’s now bringing the new album to life on stage, with upcoming performances at Sweet Vinyl Cafe in Denville, NJ, and the Urban Arts Festival in Morristown, NJ. More dates are expected to be announced on his website soon.
