Mac Miller Faces On Spotify

Born Malcolm McCormick, Miller first used the alias Easy Mac, a name referenced on his debut mixtape, 2007's But My Mackin' Ain't Easy. His KIDS mixtape became his breakthrough when it was released in August of 2010, earning plenty of attention from hip-hop blogs and landing Miller a recording contract with Rostrum Records. Rostrum released his debut EP, On and on and Beyond, and his debut. The Spotify Sessions formula is simple: Artists record a live-in-studio version of one of their own songs, and then they cover somebody else’s. But Miller had a sharp, sophisticated take on that. Spotify has unveiled the latest edition of the Singles Sessions series, and you best have your Kleenex handy. It features two live cuts from Mac Miller recorded shortly before his untimely passing. Mac Miller covered Billy Preston’s “Nothing From Nothing” for the Spotify Singles series. The live session was recorded in New York City earlier this year, prior to Miller’s untimely death.

Mac Millerunexpectedly passed away nearly three months ago, but his music lives on. While fans are still in shock over his tragic death, a posthumous double-release from the hip hop icon has released via Spotify.

Miller previously recorded two songs exclusively for the music streaming platform. The first is a live version of “Dunno,” a cut from his 2018 album Swimming. The other, a cover of Billy Preston hit “Nothing From Nothing” from 1974. The whole focus of Spotify’s Singles series is designed around the era of 45s and traditional singles, hence the throwback track.

Just this year, Spotify’s Singles series hit a milestone with over 1 billion streams. A rep commented on the massive achievement of original content in saying, “Recording these tracks also opens up the opportunity for artists from across genres to join us in our uniquely inspiring Studio to record a new take on one of their top songs, as well as a cover by their own favorite musician or group.”
