Mac Miller, born Malcolm McCormick in 1992, came up through Pittsburgh's local hip-hop scene at 15 and never really stopped growing up in public. The early mixtapes on the independent Rostrum Records, K.I.D.S. and Best Day Ever, were goofy, sunny party rap, and his debut album, Blue Slide Park, went to the top of the Billboard 200 in 2011. Then he got curious. He launched his own imprint, REMember Music, produced for himself and others as Larry Fisherman, and signed to Warner Bros. in 2014.
The records that reached rock radio are the ones where he went soft and jazzy and let the music breathe. The Divine Feminine in 2016 gave the countdowns "Dang!", a loose, warm groove; Swimming in 2018 brought "Ladders" and earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album after his death. His struggles with addiction ran through his lyrics, and he died of an accidental overdose at his home on September 7, 2018, at 26.
Circles came out in 2020, after his death, and "Good News" and "Blue World" are its heart: half-sung, hazy, disarmingly gentle songs from an artist who had stopped needing to prove he could rap.
