MAC Miller was a popular rapper and record producer who rose to fame in Pittsburgh’s hip-hop scene in the late 2000s.
Tragically, the star passed away in September 2018, but his legacy continues through new music.
How is Mac Miller still releasing new music?
In July 2022, Mac Miller’s sixth mixtape I Love Life, Thank You, was released on streaming platforms worldwide.
While fans might be unfamiliar with the tracks, the mixtape was actually released back on October 14, 2011, according to Complex.
It came after the late star launched his “Road 2 a Million Fans campaign” in April of that year in an attempt to grow his fan base.
Complex notes that Miller released songs as he gained 100,000 followers, eventually releasing the whole thing once he reached the one million mark.
While the songs might not be new, his team created a new community event where fans had access to never-before-seen photos and videos.
Miller’s last album, Circles, was released posthumously on January 17, 2020.
How can I listen to I Love Life, Thank You?
I Love Life, Thank You features 13 tracks from Miller, including The Scoop On Heaven, The Miller Family Reunion, and Family First, featuring Talib Kweli.
The mixtape can be streamed through popular sites like Apple Music and Spotify.
Shortly after the tracks were released, fans took to Twitter to share their excitement about the blast from the past.
One user said: “So crazy to think about og Mac fans and new Mac Miller fans the drop of this mixtape. Y’all are feeling the same feeling we felt back in 2011.”
Another added: “Mac Miller’s posthumous releases have been handled very well compared to others. Old full mixtapes are being released one at the time, with respect to the art. Thank you.”
A third wrote: “Mac Miller’s mixtape catalogue has always been criminally underrated, so happy that one of his best is finally out on all streaming services.”
How did Mac Miller die?
Over the years, Miller struggled with substance abuse, which ultimately played a role in his split from Ariana Grande.
A few weeks after the breakup in May 2018, he fell into a spiral and was arrested on suspicion of DUI, and then found dead in his Los Angeles home in September.
According to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, the 26-year-old died from a lethal mix of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol.
In May 2022, his dealer was then sentenced to 17 and a half years in prison for supplying the rapper with fentanyl-laced pills.
