These were the tracks he chose to begin the rollout of the Swimming In Circles concept double album.

In May of 2018, a couple months before he dropped Swimming, Mac uploaded three new songs, “Small Worlds,” “Buttons,” and “Programs.” While “Small Worlds” ended up making the album, “Buttons” and “Programs” remained as singles.

According to Thundercat these two have a full album worth of music together. The American release of Thundercat’s album Drunk ends with “DUI,” but on the Japanese version, the album ends with this track, “Hi,” which features a brief but powerful Mac Miller verse. Mac Miller and Thundercat were a lethal duo. This one has a gnarly bass line and comes in the form of a stream of consciousness freestyle. This one was uploaded via Twitter back in 2015, a few months before Mac shared his third studio album, GO:OD AM. We can’t pinpoint the date but we believe it was shared around 2014. He uploaded this one to his SoundCloud account several years ago. Mac Miller – High Ī super raw cut, produced by Mac himself with a live band vibe to it. It’s one of our favorite Mac Miller collabs, featuring ScHoolboy Q and hip-hop legend Pete Rock on production. This sinister track was released on the one year anniversary of Watching Movies With The Sound Off, his second studio album, released in 2013. We’re happy to share this list of Mac Miller tracks that you may have missed, but are not leaks. While there are people who are close to Mac who condemn listening to these leaks, there are still plenty of slept-on tracks that are lying around that were officially released by Mac himself or by artists he’s worked with. If you dig enough, you will be able to find hundreds of songs, however, most are classified as leaks. There seems to be an endless amount of Mac Miller music residing in hidden corners of the internet. He was all those things and I really miss him.UPDATE: We’ve added five more new songs to this piece, which was originally published a year ago. Mac Miller was Hip Hop, in a way few others have ever been.
It was one of my best concert memories, and one that I had to reflect on when I caught news of his passing. His mixtape Macadelic was out, and there were people in the diverse crowd reciting every word (including myself). I finally got to see him live at a music festival in 2013.

Because of that, I would always vouch for Mac and his talent even as his ascension in popularity had a negative correlation with my love of his newer projects. I had to hold on to my memories of those mixtapes, and just how much they became the soundtrack to my car rides, walks, study sessions, and workouts. He could show off his technical rhyming skills in the brief moments where he wasn’t capitulating to what rap was becoming. On the next album, it was “Red Dot Music” and on GO:OD AM it was “100 Grandkids”. On Blue Slide Park it was the title track. But he always chose a track or two on each project to remind the backpackers what he could do. He began singing more, the beats got more experimental, and the subject matter skewed further and further away from what I was willing to keep in my rotation. Some would call it creative growth, but I heard a creative shift. The music changed once his first album was released. He earned verses alongside Talib, Rapsody, Wale, Phonte, and Skyzoo to name a few. He tastefully paid homage to legends like Outkast, Tribe, and Jay Z. It was on his song “Boom Bap Rap” where I first heard the phrase “boom bap”.
He had a respect for rap’s history that is lost on most contemporary Hip Hop.
Unlike many other young MC’s, Mac did his homework.
He had the flow, delivery, and timing of a veteran MC, but he was still young and kept enough youthful banter to satiate the taste of listeners in his age bracket. The mixtapes High Life, K.I.D.S., and Best Day Ever were out in addition to some very early mixtapes where he stuck primarily to industry instrumentals. By the time I began listening to him, it was 2011 and I had some catching up to do. That was easily one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made. A rapper with a backpack on and his pants sagging was just trying too hard. I saw a flyer for a show he was doing around my school in 2010, but I disregarded it quickly. Malcolm McCormick, or Mac Miller, passed away one year ago last week on September 7, 2018.
