Mac Miller feat. Prodigy – “Confessions Of A Cash Register” (Prod. By Alchemist)
Produced by Alchemist, “Confessions of a Cash Register” features Prodigy starting the rhymes with classic crime-murda-murda-not-loving-these-hoes talk. Then Mac Miller wraps the rap (all the way to the abrupt gunshot on the track). Alchemist and Prodigy make good music. This Mac track continues the tradition.

Mac Miller – “Someone Like You” (Prod. By J. Hill)
This joint is pretty dope with the smooth chillout vibe & I completely understand what Mac Miller is doing by ‘screwing up’ his vocals on the track. I’m not sure if this is eventually gonna be a reference track for another rapper, R&B singer, or if the Pittsburgh kid will use it on an upcoming project, but this J-Hill produced track definitely sounds dope to me on some chillout shieeeeeet.

The video (shot and edited by Daniel and Michael of K1X) compiles clips of 1982 (Statik Selektah x Termanology) touring across Europe with Nas, Mac Miller, and others. Backstage snippets, b-roll footage on the road, interactions with fans, and a vignette of the 1982 duo rocking their hit “Lights Down” off their mixtape “2012″ (out now) in front of an eager crowd adorn this piece.

Big Sean – “Hundred Dollar Bill Skyscraper” feat. Mac Miller
I like when Big Sean chooses the right tracks where you can better comprehend & appreciate his lyricism. I’ve felt that sometimes when he’s flowing over the right instrumentation, like his freestyles over J Dilla tracks, the listener can truly see that this kid from Detroit is not really a slouch lyrically. This smooth new joint “Hundred Dollar Bill Skyscraper” produced by Drumma Boy is a perfect example of a track complementing the emcee while not overshadowing him so much that he has to dumb down his flow with the ‘Wobbly Wobbly’ lyrics. It’s shaping up to be another good year for Big Sean with Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music compilation album “Cruel Summer” on the way, his sophomore solo album, & finally connecting with his Pittsburgh homie Mac Miller for the first time on this track as they try to continue building ‘Hundred Dollar Bill Skyscrapers’ during the course of their careers….

Skillz – “Good Evening Freestyle”
Skillz recently celebrated another born day so he let loose this freestyle over Mac Miller’s ‘Good Evening’ instrumental. The song was released with the help of the DMV’s resident radio DJ & air-personality DJ Money. The track fits Skillz well & lyrically you already know the Virginia emcee does what he does better than most lyricists in the game still…..

MTV Shines Light On Pittsburgh’s Growing Hip Hop Scene (Video)
Get More: Music News
With the recent success of Wiz Khalifa & Mac Miller, Pittsburgh’s hip hop scene is continuing to flourish after years of being considered the younger brother to Philadelphia in terms of all things hip hop. But while both cities have never had any significant or competitive rivalries in the state of ‘Pistolvania’, they’ve often have had a distinct difference traditionally in terms of sound & influences. Pittsburgh’s sound can vary from a midwest vibe to a super lyrical east coast vibe in which it’s eastern neighbor Philly is typically known for. With the recent signing of rap artist Boaz to Rostrum records, MTV does a feature on Pittsburgh’s next generation of rising stars & the scene they grew up out of.
Mac Miller – “Of The Soul” Remix feat. Posdnous & Raekwon
Pittsburgh’s Mac Miller decides to take it back to the soul with this remix to his “Of The Soul” joint off of his “Blue Slide Park” album. Who better for him to do that with than Posdnous of De La Soul & the god shallah Raekwon. No change up in the production from ID Labs, but a few verses from two legends are a definite upgrade for a remix….

Mac Miller – “Definition Of Cool” feat. Diggy (Prod. By Big Jerm)
Mac Miller let loose two new joints over the weekend with “Loud” & this new one that just leaked via UHTN called “Definition Of Cool” featuring Diggy. The beauty in this track lies largely in the production of Big Jerm in addition to both Mac Miller & Diggy’s playful wordplay. I’m also feeling Diggy bringing out the cool ‘Slick Rick’-type British flow on this as well. Checked Mac Miller’s twitter page so it’s not clear due to the lack of info if the song is supposed to appear on Mac Miller’s upcoming “Macadelic” project. Not everything Mac Miller has done “commercially” fits what I personally like, but when he drops true school joints like these I’m almost 100% happy with it every time.

Mac Miller Surprised of Sold Out London Show & UK Fanbase (Video)
In every interview I watch of Mac Miller I gain more & more respect for the kid. I pay careful attention to interviews of new young hip hop artists with the intention to gain a better idea of where their head is at with the music, culture, & their futures. It’s hugely evident that Pittsburgh’s Mac Miller is a student of the game & is making the right moves in growing his fanbase. So much so that his show in London was soldout with fairly minimum radio play. I wish more young artists in the game paid attention to more that just writing rhymes & flossing, but in learning about the past greats to better their own career.
Mac Miller – Best Day Ever (Video)
The intro to this new video from Pittsburgh artist Mac Miller as a kid reciting the Sugar Hill Gang classic Rapper’s Delight is priceless! Hahaaaa! Dope!

Phil Ade – ‘Incense’ feat. Mac Miller
D.C. is definitely getting stronger & stronger with talented artists coming out of that area. The whole DC,Maryland, & Virginia in general. The DMV is putting out quality, but just haven’t gotten enough of the spotlight for its quality as of yet. I’ve checked out several joints here & there from Phil Ade who’s currently signed to Raheem DeVaughn’s independent label 368 Music Group but I think this is the first joint that really drew me in. Phil Ade links up with Pittsburgh spitter Mac Miller to deliver rhymes over this joint produced by Sunny Norway that sounds like some real laid back lyrical mood music. This is a good choice leak from Phil Ade’s upcoming album called ‘A Different World’ that drops on Tuesday in conjunction with 368 Music Group & 2dopeboyz.

OkayPlayerTV: The Roots Picnic (Video)
Although there were plenty of videos that surfaced on the web focusing on Philly’s largest summer festival & the many performers that graced the stage, The Roots crew’s Okayplayer team dropped a high quality recap over the weekend. As a Philly native it’s amazing for me to see what the The Roots annual picnic on Festival Pier on Penn’s Landing has grown into. The Roots continue to make me proud to be from Philly not only for the music they present to the world, but in the many ways they reach back for Philly artists, Philly fans, the city, & the community at large. Check out the video recap….Okay Player?
Rapsody featuring Mac Miller – ‘Extra Extra’ (Video + Mp3s)
Been playing this song on the radio & now its good to see they dropped some type of video for the joint too. Fresh off of their 16 date tour Rapsody & Mac Miller bring that ‘Extra Extra’ produced by Khrysis. We placed the clean version down there for DJs that needed this plus another banger called ‘Out The Truck’ produced by AMP that dropped a few days ago too….

New Music: Mac Miller – ‘People Under The Stairs’

Yo I gotta give props where props is due! Pittsburgh’s own Mac Miller is a student of hip hop & it’s becoming ever more clear to me when I see the types of beat choices he rocks over. Los Angeles based rap group ‘People Under The Stairs’ may not be as well known to mainstream rap fans, but Mac Miller is introducing them to new fans with this new track right here. P.U.T.S’s underground classic ‘San Francisco Knights’ STILL gets rotation from me on the ipod & an occasion flashback spin on my radio show. I NEVER get tired of that song. Ever. When I saw that Mac Miller decided to rock over this joint I was excited to hear it. While every new rapper is trying to rhyme over some new radio hit that just came out, Mac Miller is going back deeper in studying his lessons. It’s obvious Mac Miller is a student working hard to earn his respect & graduate in this game. He still has a long way to go, but I see you Freshman. Keep going Mr. Mac Miller. Keep Going……
