Mac Miller’s Long-Lost Album Balloonerism Release Date and Trailer Revealed

Mac Miller’s fans just got the news they’ve been dreaming of—his unreleased album Balloonerism is officially dropping on January 17, 2025!

The long-lost project, rumored to have been in the works between 2013 and 2014, captures a pivotal moment in the late rapper’s career. For context, this was smack in the middle of the creative process behind Watching Movies With the Sound Off and Faces, two of Mac’s most celebrated works. Now, fans will get a rare glimpse into the sound and mindset that defined this era.

The hype for Balloonerism ramped up after its trailer premiered at Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw carnival last weekend. The visually stunning clip features animated animal characters traveling through a psychedelic, ever-changing landscape—packed with vibrant imagery and backed by ethereal music. Fans speculate that Thundercat’s vocals make an appearance before a snippet of Mac Miller’s unmistakable flow ties it all together.

While the exact tracklist remains under wraps, some fans might already recognize a few songs from leaks over the years. However, the official release will offer a fully curated experience, complete with the quality and care that Mac’s estate is known for.

This isn’t the first time Mac’s music has made waves posthumously. Recently, his albums Watching Movies With the Sound Off and Faces celebrated their 10th anniversaries, bringing rare songs like “The Quest” and fresh takes on fan-favorites to streaming platforms. It’s clear Mac’s estate is handling his legacy with love and respect, a rarity in the world of posthumous releases.

Fans are already buzzing with excitement about Balloonerism, calling it a bittersweet opportunity to reconnect with Mac’s artistry and humanity. “This album feels like Mac sending us a little piece of himself from the other side,” one fan shared online.

With its official release date locked in, Balloonerism promises to be one of 2025’s most anticipated albums. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to Mac’s music, this project is sure to be a celebration of his creativity and lasting impact.
