Mac Miller fans have been blessed with three new songs as part of a 10th anniversary edition of GO:OD AM.
Uploaded to streaming services on Friday (October 3), the batch of previously unreleased tracks include “Cable Box,” “Carpe Diem” and “Royal Flush,” a collaboration with Vinny Radio.
Frequent Mac Miller collaborator and fellow Pittsburgh native ID Labs produced “Cable Box” and “Royal Flush,” while “Carpe Diem” features atmospheric production from Clams Casino, who previously worked with Mac on projects like Blue Slide Park, Macadelic and Watching Movies With the Sound Off.
The best of the bunch is the latter, which finds the Most Dope MC flexing his nimble, introspective rhymes and melodic yet melancholic singing voice while reflecting on the ups and downs of his rise to fame.
A particular line early on in the song will hit deep for most Mac fans when he prophetically raps: “One day I’ma be the greatest, retire my jersey.” You can’t help but wonder how his career (and life) would have panned out had he not tragically passed away seven years ago.
The three new songs can be streamed below.
GO:OD AM (10th Anniversary) is the second posthumous Mac Miller offering this year following Balloonerism, which was released by his estate in January.
Featuring collaborations with close friends SZA and Thundercat, the project was originally recorded in 2014 around the same time as Faces, but was shelved in favor of GO:OD AM, Mac’s major label debut.
The 14-track effort, which captured Mac’s artistic evolution as he experimented with sounds, instruments and genres, debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 after earning 81,000 units in its first week.
