To commemorate the ten years since the release of Mac Miller's mixtape "Macadelic," the late rapper's estate dropped a limited-edition vinyl and never-before-seen footages that will surely delight fans.
Mac Miller Death and Memorial Tributes
Shrouded by controversy, Mac Miller's death has brought up various sentiments from fans and the music community alike.
Malcolm James McCormick, widely known as Mac Miller, died from an accidental drug overdose due to a "mixed drug toxicity" of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol.
After his death, memorials and tributes to the late artist were in place, and philanthropic initiatives were set in motion.
Four years since his death, avid fans and friends of Miller are still reminiscing what could have been his 30th birthday.
Mac's frequent collaborator, Thundercat, penned a sweet letter to his late friend in a Rolling Stone feature.
"On this birthday, I hope that you get everything that you want, everything that you think you want, everything you didn't want or didn't ask for...I hope you get all of that. I hope it's as extreme as it was here. Because it was fun," he wrote.
Wiz Khalifa, Rapsody, and more close friends of the "The Spins" hitmaker contributed on the commemorative article.
Mac Miller's 'Macadelic' 10th Anniversary
Released ten years ago, Mac Miller's seventh mixtape "Macadelic" made waves in the music scene.
"Macadelic" contained the lead single "Loud" and was launched online via free digital download. The project was supported by "The Macadelic Tour," which saw 18 stops in the United States and three shows in Europe.
Today marked the project's tenth anniversary, prompting Mac's estate to release the limited-edition Vinyl record of the "Macadelic" mixtape.
The newly released vinyl edition of the mixtape, which saw him experiment even further following the launch of his debut album "Blue Side Park," is now available for purchase.
Sold for $35, the double LP release includes a remastered rendition of the project, accompanied with a poster and an embossed cover design, among other things.
A portion of the revenues will be donated to the Mac Miller Fund, which provides young artists access to tools that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive.
Mac's estate also uploaded some previously unseen footage of the musician from around the time of the release of "Macadelic."
Showcasing the then-baby-faced rapper, who was only 20 at the time, the clip demonstrates just how much enthusiasm and love Mac had for creating and performing music.
