My special guest is all the way from across the pond, in the UK. She goes by the name of Mahalia, she’s been creating music since she was 8 years old and was signed to a major record label at age thirteen. In our interview she talked about the value of travel, and being of mixed race, how she dealt with being one of the few black girls in a small town, then moving to a larger city and being considered "too white".

My special guest on this weeks edition of The Come Up Show podcast is Tim North. Recently, while I was listening to Spotify, it automatically played this song called “Fuck Luck”. I pulled up my phone and saw the artist name, Tim North which I didn’t recognize. After reading the artist bio on Spotify, I found out he was from Toronto which further piqued my interest. I went down the rabbit hole and found his Instagram and realized who it was, Tim! We go way back and I knew him by his previous rapper name Fundament. I saw he had a couple of songwriting placements and he was back and forth between L.A., so we had to catch up. We talked about his song “Fuck Luck”, which has over 2 million streams on Spotify alone, how he was ended up working with notable producers, his rebranding and so much more.

As you may know Mac Miller died on September 7th, 2018. It was and still is a shock to his fans and the hip-hop community at large. I couldn’t believe it when I heard the news and thought someone was playing a joke on me. If you didn’t know The Come Up Show has interviewed Mac Miller three separate times now and i’m going to share with you our first ever interview with him when he was only 18 years old. This was when the Smokers Club Tour came into town in 2010 at the Opera House in Toronto. You can tell by listening Mac Miller is all excited to be in Canada and just excited for his career ahead of him. Without further ado our interview with Mac Miller when he was 18 years old in 2010.
