Mac Miller, born Malcolm James McCormick on January 19, 1992, was an American rapper, singer, and record producer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Emerging onto the music scene with a frat-rap vibe in his early mixtapes, Miller's career evolved with his 2010 breakthrough mixtape "K.I.D.S." which led to his first studio album "Blue Slide Park" in 2011 — the first independently distributed debut album to top the US Billboard 200 since 1995. His subsequent works, such as "Watching Movies with the Sound Off" and the mixtape "Faces," displayed his versatile style and introspective lyrics, indicating a maturation in his sound and a deepening of his exploration into substance abuse and mental health issues.

Miller's later works like "The Divine Feminine" and "Swimming" showcased his growth as an artist, blending various genres and revealing a deeper emotional layer through his music. The posthumously released album "Circles," which was intended as a companion piece to "Swimming," further cemented his legacy as a multifaceted artist cut tragically short. His songs such as "Self Care," "Small Worlds," and "What's the Use?" offer a glimpse into his personal struggles and artistic mindset. Mac Miller's impact on the music industry remains profound, with a discography that continues to connect with fans around the world. Tragically, Miller passed away on September 7, 2018, from an accidental drug overdose, leaving behind a rich legacy that continues to influence artists and music lovers alike.
