Mac Miller aka Malcolm James McCormick was born on January 19th, 1992, and was a music-obsessed kid whose passion never waned, as he became one of the most adored hip-hop artists on the planet. He was a self-taught musician, who remarkably learned how to play the piano, guitar, drums, and bass before he had turned six.

The Faces mixtape has remained off of Apple Music, Spotify and similar services since its release in 2014 because of sample clearance issues and other types of red tape. However, that might be soon to change.
Even after his death, Mac Miller is still able to move people through his music. And these two new, posthumous Mac Miller songs released by Spotify have prolonged his legacy even further. Before his death in September of 2018, Miller recorded a new version of his 2018 song 'Dunno' and a cover of Billy Preston's 'Nothing from Nothing' at a Spotify Singles session, and both songs were added to the music service on Tuesday, Nov. 27. These two new singles are bound to leave an impact on Miller fans, not only because of their emotional sound, but because it's a chance to hear the musician again.
'Dunno' is from Miller's album Swimming that he released a month before his death. The live Spotify version of 'Dunno' is even more stripped down and raw than the original. That might make it even harder to listen to, especially as the lyrics seem to be about his ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande. But fans will find that it is well worth a listen.

His cover of Preston's 1974 song 'Nothing from Nothing' is equally as melancholy — even at only one minute and 51 seconds. While the original was a bouncy, upbeat hit, Miller's version makes you really think about the meaning behind the lyrics, 'Nothing from nothing leaves nothing/Gotta have something if you wanna be with me.'
On Sept. 7, Miller died suddenly at the age of 26 at his home in Studio City, California. His death was officially ruled as a fatal accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol by the coroner in November, as reported by The New York Times. The rapper had been open about his struggles with addiction throughout his career, but his death was still a shock.
As the Los Angeles Times reported, Miller's career was far from over when he died. He had been scheduled to play a concert on Halloween at the Greek Theatre in L.A., which his family turned into the 'Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life' tribute concert. The concert featured performances by Chance the Rapper, SZA, and Travis Scott and proceeds from the event went to the Mac Miller Circles Fund (MMCF). The MMCF was established after Miller's death and gives arts-focused opportunities to youth from underserved communities.
Miller's death affected many, including members of the music community and his fans. Grande herself has been vocal about the grief she has experienced since his passing. The longtime friends had collaborated on the songs 'The Way' and 'My Favorite Part.' And they dated from 2016 to 2018 before they broke up and Grande started seeing now ex-fiancé Pete Davidson. He is one of a handful of exes to receive a shoutout on Grande's newest hit single 'Thank U, Next,' on which she sings, 'Wish I could thank Malcolm, 'cause he was an angel.'
Even though his fans may not have personally known Miller like Grande, they are still mourning his passing too. And while these posthumously released singles may leave you in tears, hearing Miller perform again should also serve as a reminder of the talent that he possessed. And maybe that can be a small source of comfort.

In a Reddit thread where fans were speculating about the status of the tape, Miller’s longtime friend and producer ID Labs (who produced “It Just Doesn’t Matter” and “Therapy” from the tracklist) caught wind of the comment. He confirmed that clearance for Faces is in the works.

However, after his comment took off, IDLabs posted a cryptic response to the speculation on Twitter.
But did I? 🤔

There hasn’t been any timeframe given as to when you can expect Faces to hit iTunes and Spotify, but even the idea of having easier access to Miller’s brilliance is exciting. If the project does arrive on digital streaming platforms as ID Labs is believed to have said on Reddit, it will be Miller’s second mixtape to hit DSPs in the last year. His breakout tap K.I.D.S. was added in April to celebrate its tenth anniversary and the re-release came with two new songs.
Faces is a musical masterpiece and it has only taken on more meaning since Miller’s sudden passing. From start to finish, the mixtape brings the listener on a drug-fueled journey into mind of an addict who is on the verge of fully understanding his issues. The lyrics are a message that Mac is passing along about what was truly going on in his life and thoughts in that time. He was going through some deep shit and there is no denying that it’s dark, twisted and depressing. But the way that he paints the picture with his words and shares the inner-workings of his mind makes it rather beautiful.
Musically, the production value is unmatched, the samples each bring something unique to the table, Mac’s laidback voice presents his lyrics at the forefront and the beats accompany the jazz elements perfectly.

The mixtape is something to cherish. Hopefully soon, it will hit streaming platforms and become more accessible to those who haven’t heard the brilliance— or those who just want to set it on repeat and let Larry Fisherman do his thing.
