ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: MAC MILLER

   Young, Dumb and Full of... Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza?  Mac Miller is quickly becoming a staple for many high school students, as well adults, mp3 players.  With his track "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza" basically summing up with this kid is about, and of course countless references of excessive ganja smoke. It is no question why this kid is the proverbial poster boy for young, white, angst driven youths.  I have to apologize for alluding to the fact that his music can only be appreciated by white youths.  Because, frankly this kid is the shit. Everyone seems to be given this guy a listen.

  What you can definitely get from this kid is the growing popularity of the Pittsburgh sound he and many artist alike are flushing the streets with as of late.  Most notably, Wiz Khalifa, who both shared time together on Rostrum records, which Miller's music currently resides.  They have a very similar sound and more importantly love to smoke weed.  After all that is mostly what they rap about.

   Although he may still have that prepubescent vocal ability the lyrics he spits show a young man who can manipulate and produce top notch word play.  Perhaps still the least relevant aspect of hip-hop currently being played on a mainstream level. Not to mention his beats backing his pipes are definitely a more mature and sincere hip-hop sound.  This combination compliments his work very well. Not mention the help from his producer Big Germ. He is no stranger to the mix tape game and I'm sure he will produce a full length product that would please his growing fan base.
