So we know for a fact that Mac Miller was a PROLIFIC artist. He recorded volumes of music in his lifetime, some of which we may never hear. But a recent interview on DJBooth.com, producer Thelonius Martin gives us a glimmer of hope that we may hear a whole new album Mac recorded before he passed.
In a recent interview, Chicago producer Thelonious Martin was asked if there’s any unreleased Miller music he wishes fans could hear, and he responded:
“There’s plenty of it. When we was working on ‘Guidelines,’ he was always excited about all these other songs. He had this Madlib album, called Maclib. I opened for Madlib in Chicago last summer, at Pitchfork. So I’m opening for Madlib, and about 15, 20 minutes left in my set, Madlib pulls up. Pete Rock walks up as well. So I’m trying to focus and DJ, and Madlib gets on and 15 minutes into his set he just randomly plays a Mac Miller joint. And I turn to him, I’m like, ‘There’s more of these, right?’ He’s said, ‘Oh, yeah, there’s a whole album. Maclib.’ What! What! He just kept moving on with his DJ set. If Madlib decides to bless the world with that project, he should.”
One of Mac Miller's friends and fellow musician Thundercat confirmed the album exists...
I'm getting tingles. In cased you missed this Tiny Desk performance by Mac and friends (including Thundercat), here it is...
