What was on your last mix tape?

MAKAI has made a new one, and it's not like any mix tape you've ever gotten before.

Get ready for songs about roller skates, vengeful vixens, lost love, bored boys, terrible teenagers, alcoholic ants, and a sweet girl named Kyoung Ae.

He's made it just for you and it's gonna be one hell of a road trip so grab a Moon Pie, RC Cola, and some extra crispy Popeye's chicken. Check your Google Maps printout, make sure to take a safety pee and get movin', 'cause traffic's gonna be fierce.
