Mac Miller lost his life at the age of 26 due accidental drug overdose. The artist’s passing has surely left a major void in the music industry. March 23, 2022 marks the 10-year anniversary of Mac Miller’s Macadelic mixtape. Miller’s estate decided to celebrate the occasion by releasing a limited-edition vinyl of the 2012 mixtape.
The vinyl record is now available over at the late rapper’s online shop for $35 and comes with a free 11×17 poster. A portion of the proceeds grossed from sales will go to the Mac Miller Fund, which supports aspiring musicians with the proper equipment.
The late Pittsburgh native’s estate also shared exclusive unreleased footage of Mac Miller from around the time his Macadelic mixtape was released. In the clip, he can be seen in the studio cooking up new music. Mac’s also seen speaking at a school about the project and performing at The Macadelic Tour in support of the project.
“This mixtape is crazy different than anything I’ve ever done,” he tells a crowd. “That’s what I usually say before I put anything out… It’s a different kind of project. It’s deep and I talk a lot of stuff on here and I say a lot of meaningful things… For the first time, I stopped thinking about what music I should make and just how to say what I wanted to say.”
Macadelic also features many high-profile assists from Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Joey Badass, Camron, Juicy J, Sir Michael Rocks and more. The mixtape was eventually released on streaming services just months prior to his death.
The mixtape went on to debut at No. 108 on the Billboard 200 chart. It sold 8,000 alum-equivalent units in it’s lifetime. You can revisit his work below.
