Mac Miller's First Official Posthumous Verse Is About Necessary Breakups

the opening official posthumous Mac Miller verse is finally here, courtesy of Anderson .Paak's musical group, the Free Nationals. "Time" features Miller and Kali Uchis alongside the smooth groove of the Free Nationals, and yes it speaks its peace about the significance of Father Time in a relationship. It's so easygoing that if it were a chair and you also were leaning on its back legs, you'd fall out of it. Your summer playlist for clear skies and drop top convertibles just noticed another addition to its list.


The Free Nationals are surgeons of groove. Bass lines flow like freshwater rivers and the reflection of the sun can be felt through its mellow, beachy, rhythm. They set this semi-sullen atmosphere with fashion, one that Kali Uchis decorates with her soft, nearly pleading voice. She needs to create her relationship work, yet only if the other person will meet her halfway. And for that, she needs time. Mac Miller floats onto this beach for the second verse and flowers his feet in the sand. It feels good to hear the easygoing nature of his voice and savor his words about breakup. He's a supporter for ending things because he understands that this hiccup isn't permanent. "You get yours, obviously, I get mine/And in the end, everything will be fine, that's by design," he raps, confidently. It's a positive sentiment in a disastrous situation. Miller's glass-half-full mentality shines through again, as it habitually has.


The Free Nationals are currently on tour with Anderson .Paak for his "Best Teef In The Game" trek that started in May and wraps up later this month. .Paak recently released his fourth studio album Ventura in April.
