Mac Miller

So this week I’ve been deep cleaning my house like crazy while being out of school for the COVID-19. I always play some music when I clean because it makes the process a little bit more enjoyable. I thought I would turn things around with my blog post and begin to discuss some artist most people in my generation are familiar with. Malcolm James McCormick, know professionally as Mac Miller, was an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. He was so talented and even started his career producing music at the age of 15 in 2007. After signing his record deal with Pittsburgh- based independent label Rostrum Record in 2010, he released the mixtape K.I.D.S. and Best Day Ever. Millers debut studio album, Blue Slide Park became the first independently distributed debut studio album to top the US Billboard 200 since 1995. Mac Miller is hands down my all time favorite rapper and I still cannot wrap my head around his death. He struggled with substance abuse, which was often referenced in his lyrics. He died from an accidental drug overdose at his home on September 7th, 2018, at the age of 26. Mac Miller will always be a legend in my eyes, and of course I also have his record album in my collection as well.

Some of my favorite song by Mac Miller include: “Self Care,” “Circles,” “Hand Me Downs,” “Weekend,” and “Jump.”
