With albums and mixtapes such as Watching Movies with the Sound Off, Faces, K.I.D.S., and many others, it’s pretty hard to top such an extensive discography. However, four days ago when Mac Miller sent out […]

The internet is an endless vortex that can easily suck you in, and before you know it, it’s 2 am and you’re looking at D.I.Y. videos on YouTube with no actual intentions of going through with any of the projects. It was one of those nights when I decided I needed to step up my music game. […]
