If the work he released surrounding 2013’s acclaimed Watching Movies With the Sound Off seems dark, that’s because he’s been exorcising demons – literally if you consider the tape devoted to his horrorcore alter-ego, Delusional Thomas. As Mac’s profile rose, his outlook sunk. While the picture he painted of himself through 2014’s bleak-banging Faces tape is real as can be, it caught him in a surreal state: questioning everything, depressed. In 2015, at 23, we meet Mac all over again. The Mac who’s got some answers, who sold the mansion, climbed out of the rabbit hole, and went back home to make his most confident and clear-headed album yet.
2015’s GO:OD AM speaks to this moment in Mac’s life. A well-curated set of guests (ranging from Miguel, Little Dragon, Chief Keef, frequent collaborator Ab-Soul and a Lil B at his most sage) who embolden the message. Echoes of past forays into piano music and crate-digger beats. Fresh collisions of astral soundscapes and trap drums. You’ll find a lot of humor and a lot of swagger. Heart and insight, too. Most of all, you’ll find Mac Miller standing on his mountain of accomplishments – those we witnessed and those we didn’t – rapping his ass off (as evidenced on lead track “100 Grandkids”) with a crooked grin and enough wisdom to know that the only way is up.
