Complete Mac Miller Discography (Mixtapes, Albums, Singles, and Features)

American rapper and producer Malcolm James McCormick began his career at just fourteen years old. By fifteen, he’d released his first mixtape under the name EZ Mac, changing his stage name to Mac Miller two years later.

Miller signed with indie label Rostrum Records before his eighteenth birthday. The following year and the release of his fifth mixtape, Best Day Ever, brought breakthrough success and the artist’s first spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 for its single “Donald Trump.” The song also went platinum, and subsequent releases often fared just as well or better. Despite the pressures of young fame, the rapper quickly hit his stride and garnered more fans, critical acclaim, and notable collaborations each year.

Tragically, Miller passed away in 2018 from an overdose of cocaine, fentanyl, and alcohol. Posthumous releases included collaborations with artists like Sia and Kali Uchis, as well as Circles—the album Miller was working on prior to his death.

In October of 2021, streaming platforms saw an official re-release of Miller’s 2014 mixtape Faces. Acclaimed upon its release for themes of addiction and mental health issues, today Faces seems to eerily predict the rapper’s death. In Miller’s 2015 interview with Billboard, the artist stated that the track “Grand Finale” was “supposed to be the last song I made on earth.”

Miller explained that his drug use had since declined and he was feeling healthier and that Faces was written at a very low point, adding, “I don’t feel that way as much anymore.”

Here is the complete discography of Mac Miller, including every album, mixtape, single, and feature.

• A music video for “Colors and Shapes” was released in September of 2021, directed by Sam Mason. Mason worked closely with Miller’s family to create an imaginative tribute to the rapper, calling the end result “a video about childhood—growing up as an artist and the highs and lows of that experience. …a look at the emotional, difficult, and perilous but noble path of an artist.”

Listen

 

 

 

Swimming

Released: August 3, 2018

Facts about Swimming

• Swimming was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards. It was the rapper’s first and only Grammy nomination. Cardi B took home the award but stated that she shared the honor with Miller. Grande took to Twitter to share her outrage that Miller didn’t win. She later deleted many of the posts and clarified she didn’t hold a grudge against Cardi B; she was just upset by Miller’s loss.

Popular Songs

• “So It Goes”
• “Self Care”
• “Small Worlds”
• “Ladders”
• “2009”

 

Listen

Videos

“Inertia”

This is a video of Mac in his studio shortly before the release of Swimming. It’s possible that this song was just one of the tracks he was recording for Circles, an album he intended to release as an accompaniment to Swimming, which explains why it is so different.

Even though this track may have been recorded around the time of Swimming and Circles, it appears on neither album.

 

Download: Spotify / iTunes / Amazon

 

Circles

Released: January 17, 2020

Facts about Circles

• This was Miller’s sixth and final studio album, and his first posthumous release. Notable producer and songwriter Jon Brion—known for his work with artists such as Fiona Apple, Robyn Hitchcock, and Frank Ocean, as well as movie scores like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind—completed production, since the album was unfinished at the time of Miller’s death.
• Circles peaked at number 3 on the US Billboard 200 and was met with great fanfare from critics and fans alike. It was intended to be part of a trilogy, along with Swimming and what Jon Brion speculated “would have been just a pure hip-hop record.”
• “I Can See” reportedly includes vocals from Miller’s ex, Ariana Grande, although she goes uncredited since production was unable to confirm if the voice was hers or not. Her representation declined to comment on the matter, though fans of both artists widely agree the vocals sound like hers.

The abrupt end to Mac Miller’s life and rapidly evolving career continues to sadden fans and the rap and hip-hop communities—but, given the artist’s enormous body of work, it’s not farfetched to hope for more posthumous releases.

Mac Miller shared a moment in an interview where he revealed where much of his inspiration came from. He shared that one of his biggest inspirations was Kanye West and rapper’s like Mac Miller would study Kanye’s albums to become one of the next stars.

In 2020, the Miller family re-released Swimming and Circles as a vinyl box set, bringing two-thirds of the rapper’s intended trilogy to market the way he wanted. They’ve also released (and permitted the release) of heretofore unheard snippets, unseen recording footage, and freestyles from his last days, hinting that the Mac Miller legacy won’t just endure: it’s not even finished yet. So for now, just sit back, relax, and smoke to Mac’s greatest work so far.
