Mac Miller has defied hip-hop norms as a successful, independent act who's sound has impressively evolved from easy-going frat-rap to psychedelic hip-hop. He is living in Los Angeles, burrowed in the hills of excess and fame.

Mac Miller's second posthumous album, Balloonerism, arrived on Friday (Jan. 17). The project lands exactly five years to the day Circles was released in 2020 and just two days shy of what would have been Mac's 33rd birthday.

Mac Miller's artistic and creative legacy lives on, and the Pittsburgh icon's fans are cheesin' from cheek to cheek because an official version of his long-lost project "Balloonerism" is finally dropping Friday.
