As Mac Miller prepares to unleash his SWIMMING album on Friday (August 3), the Pittsburgh-bred rapper is warming up his fans with a little freestyle action.
On Wednesday (August 1), Miller shared a video for “Inertia,” which finds him sitting at a keyboard and smoking a cigarette before exploding into the first verse.
With lines like, “Simple thoughts got me itchin’ like the chicken pox” and “You simple as a whistle/Never pick a side/Shit, you always in the middle/Never down to ride,” Miller returns to his rap roots.
While two previously released singles from SWIMMING — “Self Care” and “What’s The Use?” — favor the more melodic singing rap style, “Inertia” is just straight bars. However, it won’t appear on the upcoming album.
