It Is What It Is

Mac Miller and Thundercat were best friends, and Miller's death in 2018 sits under this whole record, made with Flying Lotus producing. It does not mope. Dragonball Durag is a love song about feeling unstoppable in a durag, and Black Qualls is straight funk with Steve Lacy and Steve Arrington. Then Fair Chance, with Ty Dolla $ign and Lil B, talks about the loss directly, and the title track closes the album with the phrase people use when nothing can be fixed, and a softly spoken Hey Mac.
