While at Rock The Bells, I spoke to @MacMiller, the newest acquisition to Rostrum Records and recently released K.I.D.S. I talked to Mac about his plans now that his mixtape is out, who he would like to collab with in the future, his experience on tour with Rock The Bells. (At 1:00 Min mark cameo from Wale) When asked about up and coming new artists, Mac named Dom Kennedy, Smoke DZA, Fashawn and Big KRIT. We also touched on how blogs impact the career of new artists like himself, touring with Wiz Khalifa, as well as possibly starting his own tour. Lastly, I questioned Mr. Miller who if one producer he had to choose to work with for an album, who would it be, watch the interview for his answer

“When people be asking why I don’t rap no more, it’s not that. … It’s gotta come,” he explained. “I’mma isolate that to the Goodie Mob. That’s all I care to rap about. Rappin’ is like a contact sport. It’s an attitude. So the only thing I get angry about is the calls [about me not rapping]. That makes me wanna fight. As far as somebody stepping on my shoes, because we standing too close to each other, I don’t have that problem. Nobody does what I do. I don’t have no conflict. So I can do what eases my mind. I do believe that music is not meant to agitate; it’s meant to soothe the savage beast. I’m one of them beasts. It soothes me. I’m impressed, because I can separate myself from it and give credit to a higher power. It ain’t really me. To be able to sing is a blessing to me. But really, you hurt so bad, sometimes I can’t even rap about it. I gotta sing. That’s why it always hurts a little bit no matter what I’m singing. There’s pain in it. As far as Goodie goes, I got that. That’s all I’m trying to tell y’all.”
