Mac Miller’s Posthumous Balloonerism Album Arrives

Mac Miller‘s musical legacy continues. On Jan. 17, the late rapper’s estate will release his second posthumous album, Balloonerism. First announced last November at Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, the LP was recorded over a decade ago, but never officially released. Versions of the project have since leaked online, which contributed to Mac’s family wanting to put out the LP officially. Fourteen songs will be on the official version.
