With assistance from Snoop Dogg, Syd, Thundercat and Dâm-Funk.

It's been nearly two years since Mac Miller's last studio album, The Divine Feminine but the good news is that his follow up is dropping at the beginning of August. A lot of things has happened since the release of his last album including his highly publicized split from Ariana Grande and the car accident that followed. Last week, he released the aptly titled single, "Self-Care" and now, he's getting ready to release the second single off of the project "What's The Use?"

Mac Miller is set to debut his upcoming single, "What's The Use?" this upcoming Monday on Zane Lowe. The rapper sat down with Lowe and shared some details behind the record. Much like "Self-Care," Mac Miller recruited some incredible talent for assistance on the record. The track is production by Pomo with the baseline handled by Thundercat, but there's more names that helped put the track together.

"Dam-Funk. Syd did a background vocal part and so did Snoop. The stuff Snoop sent me was so amazing. He talks like a bunch of s*** at the end that I didn't end up keeping but I have to listen to," Mac revealed. "Sometimes I don't know what I want so I'm just like Snoop, just like to talk a bunch of s*** and he’s like alright."

It's exciting to know that Mac Miller has more music coming our way. Lord knows we've been waiting for it. SWIMMING comes out oin August 3rd.
