DOWNLOAD NOW: Mac Miller

Very few white rappers have gained respect and success in the hip-hop industry. At 18, Malcolm McCormick aka Mac Miller, is breaking all barriers and building an expansive fan base by the minute. The Pittsburgh native started rhyming at 9 and made the hobby his life at 14 when he started recording. The young tattoed rapper, who also plays guitar and piano, sky rocketed up the success ladder when he landed a record deal with Rostrum Records. Fellow Rostrum Record artist, Wiz Khalifa, is actually a former graduate of Taylor Allerdice High, where Mac Miller also attended. He's just a regular kid following his dream, which makes his songs so genuine and laidback. Check his mixtape K.I.D.S out and all his other songs. He's one of my favorites at the moment. - XO andrea
