Mac Miller Is Bored Of The Internet
Many expected Miller to sign with a major, but he went the opposite way instead, pouring his time and effort into his own label, REMember Music, and the heaps of new music he's churning out from the studio in his Los Angeles house. On Mother's Day last Sunday (May 11), Miller dropped Faces, a new mixtape which he describes as more of an album than anything else. The 24-track tape is certainly cohesive despite its sprawling mass, and includes friends like Vince Staples and Earl Sweatshirt as well as Mike Jones, Rick Ross and Sir Michael Rocks. After the release of his tape, Miller spoke with XXL about the enormous amount of music he has in his vault, the idea to ask fans to make a digital sandwich in order to download Faces, and where he goes from here. —Dan Rys
