The rest of 2012 will find Mac putting out three projects, the details of which are still under wraps. “I’m doing three collaborative projects before the end of this year,” Mac Miller told the Juice. “One is coming out soon, I can’t tell you [about them] but they’re all crazy, they’re all really dope. I think that’s just what I need to do right now, just explore, and expand, and make music with other people.” Last month, the 20 yr. old dropped his “Macadelic” mixtape including Juicy J, Casey Veggies, and Kendrick Lamar. “Macadelic is where I’m at right now. I think that’s what’s great about the mixtape game, it’s from the artist. Just from me to you. We made it, we mixed it, and we put it out the next day, so it’s real raw. That’s just how I love my music. If I didn’t have mixtapes, I don’t think people would’ve known who I was,” he said. At the rate he’s working right now he’s definitely building himself a growing fan base as well as a great legacy.
Much respect to the Juice
