Mornings can be hard. The sun is too bright, traffic is backed up and sometimes you have to run out of the house without your morning cup of joe. That’s why Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller wants to help you get the day started on the right foot with his latest album “GO:OD AM.”

“GO:OD AM” is a breath of fresh air. It lives up to its name and sounds like a good morning, as Mac Miller would experience one.

To that end, Mac Miller keeps the album full of positive, feel-good vibes with songs like “Brand New” and “100 Grandkids”. There are some low points though. Mac Miller will make you think about life on tracks like “Ascension” and have you thinking about that special someone in your life when he croons on “ROS.”

This level of variety is welcome. There are few rappers that are able and willing to cover and evoke such a range of emotions on a single album. Most would pick a central focus, whether it’s a club banger or socially conscious song. In contrast, Mac Miller chose to present a little bit of everything on “GO:OD AM,” a move that makes it feel relatable to those of us with more than one emotion.

Mac Miller isn’t alone on this album. Featured collaborators from like Miguel, Chief Keef and Little Dragon add some flair where it’s appropriate and accentuate the different styles and topics on the record.

“GO:OD AM” is fun and shows the growth that Mac Miller has made as an artist. The album is worth a listen if you’re looking for hip-hop that’s relaxed, but also enticing at the same time.

“GO:OD AM” is available now from your favorite music retailer in digital and physical formats.
