One of the most incredible aspects of Mac Miller’s career was the growth. From his days as a teen on K.I.D.S to becoming one of the most well-rounded artists of his generation, Mac rose above the criticism of his detractors and steadily stood alongside lyrical heavyweights to prove that he was one of the nicest of his era.
Back in 2011, just when he was getting his feet wet in the rap game, he connected with Freeway and Statik Selektah for a highlight off of their collaborative project, The Statik-Free EP. Statik’s eloquent string-laden production brought together Mac and Freeway for an anthem dedicated to their stomping grounds in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, respectively. Though Mac had yet to fully come into his own at that point, it was an excellent display of his hunger that allowed him to sit next to a P.A. legend in his own right.
