Live Review: Mac Miller @ Rock City [29/09/13]


At only 21, rapper Mac Miller has had a meteoric rise to success from unsigned freestyler to international superstar, and on Sunday night he brought his unmistakable hip-hop stylings to Rock City.

The bashful Pittsburgh lyricist, promoting his sophomore studio album, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, opens the show with a newly acquired intense, aggressive sound.
                                                                                                                                 
Mac constantly gees the predominantly teenage crowd during tracks like latest single, Goosebumpz, which showcases both his trademark flow and progression as an artist.

However, it’s not until around the halfway point when the fun really starts as the rapper treats the adoring audience to a flurry of early fan-favourites. Accompanied by his DJ, Mac Miller has the crowd under his charming, juvenile spell with triumphant renditions of frat party anthem Knock Knock and infectious smash hit, Donald Trump.

There are inevitable lulls when some weaker cuts see light of day, but Mac ensures the track-heavy set ends on a high by inciting a mass a capella sing-a-long of Objects in the Mirror.

Amongst an ocean of young talent, Mac Miller has defied odds and proven himself as one of rap’s hottest properties. Judging by this, he shows no signs of stopping.
