Rostrum Records upcoming act Mac Miller hit the School of Rock in Hackensack, NJ while on the "KIDS" tour. Good*Fella Media had a chance to have a sit down with Mac after the show. Mr. Miller spoke about; living his dream, advice to anyone pursuing music as a career, being co-signed by some of the major music forum out there (Vibe, Complex, XXL), being surprised about the hype, what age & who was the first person you smoked with, how significant is weed in his every day life and will he ever be able to give it up, his relationship with Wiz Khalifa, why Wiz is his big brother, and what Taylor Gang means to him. - GFM

"I don't wanna be known my whole life as Wiz Khalifa's Lil Homey" - Mac Miller

Sit back and enjoy this trip into the mind of LA. This young lady is making strides in leaps and bounds and is sure to be a huge success story in 2011. There are great talents and there are once in a lifetime talents. LA is looking like the once in a lifetime variety. Her incredible energy coupled with a genuine gift with words equals one of the most exciting MCs, male or female, signed or unsigned on the market today. - Rox Fontaine

On what would've been the release date for Late Nights & Early Mornings, I've decided to put out my interview with Marsha. We did this back on October 23 when she was in town. She talks about the album's delay (back during that time frame), why she chose Fabolous and Maino for "Hope She Cheats (Remix)," how the album has changed since 2009 and more. I personally loved the answer she gave to my "What has been your favorite late night that turned into an early morning?" question.

Shouts to Serm.

One of many, many J. Cole interviews floating around the internet as of late. Kev has him spit off of NY State of Mind.

HardKnock.TV takes you Behind the Scenes into Kendrick Lamar's studio to talk to about Kendrick and DR. Dre working together on Detox material. Kendrick gives his account on what it's like to work with the good DR. and how he found out the Dre wanted to work with him. Nick Huff Barili also asks Kendrick if he is going to sign to Aftermath and if he has any concerns about not being able to release his albums through Aftermath like a lot of previous artists not named Snoop, Emimem and Game.

When becoming a rapper, calling yourself the AntI-Socialite might not be the best look. Yet Harlem's own Esso has been able to make it work for him like few artist before. With a focus on music and less on running around the scene, he's been able to slowly establish himself as one of the top young talents coming out of NYC. 2011 looks to be a big year for Esso with the anticipated release of his next project.

During a recent stop in Las Vegas, Cole sat down with TheWellVersed and 2DopeBoyz to give a three part interview. In part one, J. Cole reveals what song on Friday Night Lights Jay-Z was originally supposed to be featured on, whether or not he will have guests on his debut, Drake, speaking on social issues and the Triple J threat on Roc Nation.

Be sure to check out Cole's interview with Nardwuar too.

Last week I finally had a conversation with Compton, California’s own, Kendrick Lamar. Since I’m on the eastcoast and he’s on the westcoast, we resorted to iChat to meet eachother and talk about some things he has coming up. Kendrick speaks on being in the studio with Dr.Dre and he day be on Detox, working J.Cole and what they got coming up “It might be more than one song”, touring with Dom Kennedy in 2011, whats next for his group Black Hippy, his upcoming Album (YEEEE!), the possibility of becoming an XXL 2011 Freshmen & lots more! Even though I met Kendrick over iChat, I actually became even more of a fan of his now being that he was so chill and such humble guy. Interviewing him was great, I see him going very far. And if your not up on who Kendrick Lamar is and his lyrics, then maybe now you should get on it! Shouts to DJ Dave, Kendrick, & the whole TDE camp!

Be sure to be at the Generation Next show on the 9th where Show will be performing besides artists like Skyzoo, 9th Wonder & G.O.O.D. Music's CyHi Da Prynce.
