Thelonious and Jesse Discuss - Mac Miller

About this episode

The episode discusses the life and career of Mac Miller, exploring the pressures of fame and the impact of creativity on his life.

Mac Miller did not even make it to become a member of the 27 club. Thrust into the limelight at the age of 16 it wasn’t so much the pressure of fame and the next best album. He had the natural talent to make album after album not just for himself but for anyone around him who was down to collaborate. But with some artists Its not the success that's gets them it's the access to excess that make them become prisoners of their own creative drives.
