Mac Miller began rapping at the age of 14, and by 15, he was already performing at local shows and uploading his music to online platforms. His big break came in 2010 when he released his debut mixtape, “But My Mackin’ Ain’t Easy,” which caught the attention of Rostrum Records founder Benjy Grinberg. Grinberg signed Mac to Rostrum, and the young rapper quickly set to work on his debut album.

Mac Miller’s most critically acclaimed album to date is arguably “Swimming,” released in 2018 just months before his passing. The album was a masterpiece of introspection and vulnerability, with Mac tackling topics like depression, anxiety, and relationships.

Over the next few years, Mac Miller continued to release critically acclaimed music, including the mixtapes “Best Day Ever” and “I’ll Be There.” His sophomore album, “Watching Movies with the Sound Off,” dropped in 2013, featuring guest appearances from artists like Wiz Khalifa and Travis Porter.

As fans continue to process the loss of Mac Miller, it’s clear that his music and legacy will endure. His posthumous album, “Circles,” was released in 2020, featuring some of his most introspective and emotionally charged work to date.
