Released just a month before his sudden and tragic death from an accidental drug overdose, 2018’s Swimming was a fitting epitaph to the all-too-brief career of talented rap megastar Mac Miller. Featuring the singles ‘Small Worlds’, ‘Self Care’ and ‘What’s The Use?’, it refracted elements of dancehall, jazz and synth-pop through a contemporary hip-hop lens.
Miller’s 2015 album GO:OD AM featured guest collaborators such as Tyler, The Creator and Miguel, and hit platinum in New Zealand. Born Malcolm McCormick, Mac Miller made his name through mixtapes and video-sharing websites. His K.I.D.S. mixtape became his breakthrough when it was released in 2010, earning attention from hip-hop blogs and landing Miller a recording contract.
Miller released his debut EP, On and On and Beyond, followed by his Billboard chart-topping debut album Blue Slide Park in 2011. His experimental sophomore album, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, followed in 2013. That album showcased then-emerging artists like Action Bronson, Earl Sweatshirt, and Flying Lotus.
