Mac Miller: Stopped Making Excuses (Documentary)
February 12, 2016
Deep. Never had any problem with Pittsburgh emcee Mac Miller. Some did. And according to this documentary, dude had major problems with himself. Critics were hitting Miller hard in his pride since he was 19. Still he pressed on, got his his 2011 debut album pressed and independently released, and kept the pressure on until it hit #1 on Billboard. But then he moved to Los Angeles… and hit a sharp downward spiral into drug abuse. Talk about PROBLEMS! But, of course, Miller found his way through (and lived to tell the story above).
I’d rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess that can’t even get out of his house. You don’t go down in history because you overdosed.
Real sh!t. See what he went through, and how he made it through, in the documentary “Mac Miller: Stopped Making Excuses.”

Drake Speaks The Truth In His ‘Obey Your Thirst’ Documentary (Video)
June 24, 2015
I agree with Drake in many of the points he made in this new Fader mini-documentary. I’ve given advice to artists all the time about similar things as to what’s said in this interview. Most don’t listen which is probably why they aren’t as successful as they’d like to be on their OWN terms. Stay focused.
“Coming up in Toronto, people told Drake to move to New York if he was serious about making it. Instead, he stayed where he was and made history by proving that if you’re a truly multi-layered artist, you can make it from anywhere. “Do it the way I did it,” he says in the above Obey Your Thirst documentary. “Do it from where you’re at. If you have the music, that’s all it takes.”
Now, at the top of his game, Drake says he competes not with established legends or other top-sellers, but with the countless kids itching to take his spot. Now that hip-hop’s playing field is more open than ever before, Drake knows
there are countless kids itching to take his spot. Those up-and-comers are now his competition, not any established rapper. “That’s how I try to keep pushing this forward,†he says. “Just to let that kid know that I’m not done yet.â€
‘Alchemist’ x ‘Oh No’ Spill The Beans About Themselves (Video)
April 22, 2015
Gangrene (comprised of Alchemist and Oh No) did a sit down with Fader for its ‘Everything You Need To Know About’ series. Gangrene, hella hard name. Alchemist and Oh No spoke, done work with and for some of Hip-Hop’s hardest; putting out some street-credible heat themselves. So… of course, you would expect that they grew up in Beverly Hills and have mastered Legend of Zelda video-gaming, right?
Wait, WHAT?!
Yeah, view even more of the duo getting it all out in the clear above.

New Music: Yuna – “Live Your Life” (Prod. By Pharrell)
January 25, 2012
This song is so dope I went ahead & purchased it. I’m not that familiar with Malaysian artist Yuna, but after seeing a tweet about this song on the new Fader label I found it to be a pretty dope discovery. I wasn’t even fully aware that FADER had a music label until now either…..
“FADER Label signee Yuna’s new Pharrell-produced single “Live Your Life†is a full-pour of positivity, delivered with remarkable, quiet power. Yuna’s singing is comfortable and still flawless, trilling easily over Pharrell’s soft drums. She will release a full-length this spring. Stream “Live Your Life†below or buy it on iTunes.” – FADER
