IN A defining moment for Malaysia’s creative industry, homegrown rapper, composer, and entrepreneur Rabbit Mac has carved his name into history by producing and recording the official soundtrack for the Hollywood action-drama American Warrior.
This landmark achievement makes him the first Malaysian rapper ever to compose and produce a soundtrack for a theatrically released American film, a feat that elevates Malaysia’s music scene onto the global stage.
The project also marks Rabbit Mac’s highly anticipated comeback after a five-year hiatus from the music scene. His return, paired with an international breakthrough of this scale, has sparked pride and excitement across the nation.
“This is more than my personal milestone; it is a moment for Malaysia.
“Our stories, sounds, and struggles deserve to be heard on the biggest platforms,” Rabbit Mac expressed.
Titled “Watch Me”, the track is a powerful rap anthem written and performed by Rabbit Mac, featuring Los Angeles-born rapper-singer Amore Jones.
Released under Universal Music Malaysia, the single mirrors the grit and heart of American Warrior, starring Danny Trejo, Veronica Falcón, and newcomer Vishy Ayyar, directed by Gustavo Martin.
“Watch Me” dives deep into themes of anxiety, loneliness, abandonment, and societal pressure, weaving together raw emotion and defiant resilience. It stands not just as a soundtrack but as a battle cry for the underdog, echoing the struggles of anyone who has been knocked down yet refuses to surrender.
“This track is about rising from pain and owning your fight. It’s about telling the world – no matter what, watch me rise,” Rabbit Mac explained.
Industry observers see this as more than Rabbit Mac’s comeback; it is a symbol of Malaysia’s creative power and a reminder that local talent can compete on international platforms.
“This achievement proves that our artists have world-class capability,” one music critic noted. “It is a breakthrough that inspires not just musicians but the wider creative community.”
For Malaysia, Rabbit Mac’s Hollywood debut is a moment of pride, positioning the nation’s music industry in the global spotlight while encouraging the next generation of dreamers to push boundaries.
