Indie route paves the way for rising hip-hop star Mac Miller
Major record labels may want Mac Miller on their roster, but right now the 20-year-old Pittsburgh rapper just isn’t interested.
Miller signed a deal with Rostrum Records, an independent label in his home state, in July 2010 and since then has sold more than a million downloads, sold out venues around the world and earned a Web audience that has propelled him to more than 165 million views on YouTube.
Label mate and hip-hop star Wiz Khalifa also has enjoyed success with Rostrum, having his 2011 single “Black and Yellow” (which provided the foundation for 2011’s Green Bay Packers-inspired “Green and Yellow” by various artists) hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Miller and Khalifa have worked on projects together including the songs “Keep Floatin’” and “Cruise Control,” as the two Pittsburgh rappers have quickly become the faces of the successful indie label. Besides savvy Web promotions, live performances and consistent touring have been a catalyst for Miller’s success, and on Tuesday the rising star performs at Brown County Arena in Ashwaubenon. In support of his November release, “Blue Slide Park,” which reached No. 3 overall on the iTunes album charts from preorders, and his recent mixtape, “Macadelic,” released in late March, Miller will once again have plenty of new material — and swagger — to dish out onstage.
P-C: You’re only 20 years old. Have you ever felt like you missed out on anything growing up, having dedicated so much time to hip-hop?

Mac Miller’s 5 Favorite Acts At Paid Dues Festival
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.
