Mac is Back. Pittsburgh emcee Mac Miller's third studio album "GO:OD AM" has been out for about a month, so it's about time we give it what it deserves. Mac is here to prove that he is at the top of his game, in a good place mentally, and is ready to take on the world once again. What do we think of the album? well ... remember Kendrick's "Control" verse where he called out the rappers he felt were the biggest threats in the game? Let's just say he knew what he was talking about when he included Mac in that call out list.
The last time we interviewed Mac Miller was almost exactly two years ago, it was his first time ever in Canada, and he was just 18 years old. Fast forward to 2013 Mac Miller is already off to a great start, he was awarded Complex Magazine “Man Of Next Year” award which is a spotlight on the artists who are set to transform "the worlds of Music, Sports, Art and Design, Pop Culture, and Style". As the winner Mac received a luxurious custom made varsity jacket designed by Marc Ecko, a custom Fisker Karma car valued over 100 grand, and he shared with us how that honor felt. Mac Miller also opened up about his upcoming album Watching Movies With The Sound Off, he told us it's the most personal album he has ever recorded and why he decided to open up with us. I asked him if he felt a little bit of insecurity about releasing very introspective music and how he feels people will respond. Mac answers these questions and what he has planned for the rest of 2013. Check this out and more in our interview with Mr. Most Dope aka Mac Miller. P.S. If you haven't read our review of the Mac Miller concert featuring The Come UP and Rich Kidd and Sonreal make sure to check it out and the amazing photography as well.
A nice visual cut for a track that Mac put out a few weeks ago. This video has Mac dreaming about when he's on his 'Donald Trump shit' which leads to partying, girls, and wildin' out in front of the camera.
For those who kickin it on the West side of the country please note that OkayCity will be opening up for none other than Mac Miller. 2 weeks from tomorrow (Jan.27th) you can catch the show at Upstairs Cabaret which is located in Victoria at 15 Bastion Square.
