Mac Miller has been touring like a beast, but on Saturday, April 7, the 20-year-old rapper adds a new milestone: Headliner at Paid Dues, the annual hip hop festival also featuring Wu-Tang Clan, Dipset and Odd Future among many others.

“It feels great, man,” Miller told Fuse about his headlining role. “I’m just excited to be a part of this festival at all no matter where I am. But the fact that they put me there is awesome. I’m just doing everything I can to make sure I give them the best show they can imagine.”

But don’t forget: Mac is, first and foremost, a hip hop fan. So we were curious who he’s excited to see at the festival. And before you start a rap message board war, these are in alphabetical order. Dude’s not playing favorites.

1. Dipset: Cam is the homie. At one point in my life, Dipset was the biggest thing in the world. Cam and I are definitely going to do something [together]. It’s not the next thing I have coming, but it’s something we’re working on for a later date.

2. Kendrick Lamar: He’s just one of my favorite rappers right now. He’s so talented and a legend in the making. I’m just excited as a fan to hear all my favorite Kendrick songs performed live. I went to his show at SOBsand it was dope. Section 80 was definitely one of my favorite albums of the year. I listen to that album a ridiculous amount. I think it’s a classic and will be an album people listen to for a long, long time. I’m excited to see what he’ll do next.
