Circles, a sixth studio album from deceased rapper Mac Miller, has been released posthumously.
The album was released today, January 17, 2020, by Warner Bros. Records and is presumably the last from him as he was well into the recording process when he died in September 2018 of an accidental overdose.
His family was faced with the unenviable choice of deciding whether or not to release Circles and stated that it was a complicated process that had no right answer.
This is a complicated process that has no right answer. No clear path. We simply know that it was important to Malcolm for the world to hear it.Miller’s family – time.com
The album was ultimately completed by experienced producer Jon Brion who worked extensively with Miller before his untimely demise.
Malcolm James McCormick was born on January 19, 1992, and was an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer whose hip hop career began in 2007 when he was fifteen.
His first studio album Blue Slide Park (2011) became the first independently distributed album to top the US Billboard 200 chart since 1995.
The late musician struggled with substance abuse and often talked about it in his lyrics.
