"I have no idea what we are doing for season 2 yet, but I assure you that it will be awesome," said Mac Miller.

He added about his new music video and album: "S.D.S. - no one will ever know the true meaning to this song which is awesome. It just feels good to have a song from the album out. The process is finally beginning. I forgot what it was like to put an album out. Shouts to lotus too man. That guy right there is important."
