So, everyone's favorite backpacker/swag rapper/frat rapper Mac Miller has decided to snap the band of musical conventionality and boldly record a jazz project? Yep, the 22 year old star has decided to release YOU, a five song EP where he sings soulful jazz tunes while doing all of the tapes production under the alias of Larry Lovestein and the Velvet Revival. Impressive? Yes. Mind Blowing? Not quite. The Mac Miller falsetto is not my personal favorite vocal,but overall the tape has heart. Call it what you want, but this is unchartered territory for most Hip Hop artists, so Mac gets points on the sheer BALLS he possesses by putting this together. Have a scotch, have a smoke. Have a listen.By the way,I honestly had no idea there was such a need to revive velvet, but much thanks to Mac, I guess.
