Traffic in the Sky - Mac Miller

And another artist to go into the sky of Hip-Hop.

Don't imagine Flight Mac will be landing any time soon.

           One of the smoothest tracks on the K.I.D.S. mix-tape. Oh yeah, and one of the smoothest tracks I have heard in my library. Hear I like to explore music libraries, and when I found this I wasn't expecting this gem to appear. This is a track that I will always remember.The track is another one I could put in the same category of We Major. It makes you feel successful and helps you to finally calm down, and just live life easy.
           I heard this track, the first I had heard from Mac Miller. I never knew how much I would like this guy, but we will get into him as an artist later on, ha you know me and my long speeches. And what a 1st track it was. This was earlier in late fall of 2010, and I was just getting used to the concept of mixtapes. At this point I was still working on getting artists' albums. But Traffic in the Sky is just one reason K.I.D.S. feels like an actual album. A lot of terrific tracks that feel quite professional. Yet, Mac brings a smooth style similar to other kids, not a surprise or difference in hip-hop, but he does a better job of it.
          Traffic in the Sky brings simpler success, that other teenagers would relate to. Whether just feeling cool and accepted with all their friends, or getting lifted all the way to the clouds. However you live it up, Tecknowledgy really made it possible to chill with any method. Simple because the beat has that smooth feel to it. With a soft beat and some beautiful jazz it really helps you mellow out. The good touch of brass is just so damn good I almost can't get over it. And usually when a rapper "sings" the hook is doesn't quite come out strong. Yet, Mac has the ability to float right along and brings that soft touch that anyone can appreciate on this beat. So I will certainly be on the look out for more work from Tecknowledgy.
          As for Mac, well he does his thing. With other tracks, he has that laid back style and really helps you to just blow the stress away. While many of us aren't living the life, we certainly a song that puts us in that puts our mind in a state of sedation. With just a few simple words, he reaches to everyone. As I may have explained several times that if an artist uses the right words they can send the same message to many, getting them the same mood the artist wanted to convey. And Mac Miller can put that feeling in kids so easily. It clearly helps as he is a kid himself, making him a guy who is relatable. Always a plus to have. So let us get to some of the lyrics. Has some clever lines and has a butter flow on this cool track.

Get laid in California when the weather gettin colder

or honeys by the pool and I'm sippin on mimosas

chillen on the beach house, lounging on the sofa

riding with a chauffeur, on my way to blow up

roll up, fishing, champagne sipping

5-star chefs stay cooking in the kitchen

4th line really sums up a big part of the song. It would be something you might listen to when you know you got something locked down, and you know that your chances of high. A premature celebration if you will.

got my Louie shades on ain't no damn thing wrong

fill enough cups til the bottle all gone

we just coolin coolin ,feel the breeze

had to give you something you can sang off key

Saying there ain't a damn thing wrong is about as straight forward as it gets to relaxation. Then he puts some others feelings in there. That last line really works well also, we are all here for this track to relax , and singing off key invited everyone to get that positive energy that Mac has.


Earlier this week I was listening to this song, up at a nice view in the woods after a hike up there. I lied back and watched the clouds go by, just as he says that. Song was very effective at that point and I absolutely loved it. So just watch the clouds go by, and just cool out.You can look at any of his lyrics and see his style in this song perfectly, giving that positive fun-guy vibe. That is why I have become a fan of his work. And hopefully with this song you will to. I am sure a lot of kids out there already have heard this song. But whether this is your first track from him, or your 10th, hopefully you enjoy it. I will be doing some more tracks from him, any recommendations just comment.
