Between 2016 and May of 2018, he had been in a relationship with singer Ariana Grande and had collaborated with her on her song ‘The Way’. In October 2018, a tribute concert was held in Los Angeles, with proceeds going to the Mac Miller Circles Fund which supports youth arts projects in his memory. On May 17 2022, drug dealer Stephen Walter was sentenced to 17 and a half years in jail for his role in Mac’s untimely passing.
In September 2018, the artist sadly passed away aged 26 following an accidental overdose. The title of the album references a park in Pittsburgh which has become a site of memorial and remembrance for the late rapper. With songs such as ‘Missed Calls’ and ‘Party on Fifth Ave’, the album amassed a large fan base. In November 2011, Blue Slide Park was released to critical acclaim, reaching number one on the Billboard 200. Starting his musical journey in 2007, he was self-taught in a number of instruments including drums and, by 2010, he was named 21 & Under of the Year at the Pittsburgh Hip Hop Awards.

One song from the mixtape, ‘Love Lost’, samples 2000s band The Temper Trap, and has become popular on TikTok in recent months. The mixtape features 13 tracks, with collaborations from artists such as Sir Michael Rocks and Bun B.
