Mac Miller passed away today due to an apparent overdose. I can’t admit to being more than a casual fan, but when I did listen, I always felt like he was a deeply under-rated talent whose voice was vital in the current school of rap. Addiction is a monster, and it has robbed us of too many creative, bright spirits. Wishing light and healing to his family and all of his fans. 🙏🏽
