Mac Miller‘s estate shared the lead single to the late rapper’s upcoming posthumous album Balloonerism.

“5 Dollar Pony Rides” features Miller’s close friend and collaborator Thundercat helping out on the production side of things, and it’s a pretty groovy jam about a girl. The Pittsburgh rapper was working on Balloonerism around the same time he was working on Watching Movies With the Sound Off, Delusional Thomas and Faces, according to a press release.


Back in 2020, Thundercat responded “It exist” to a fan on X who tweeted, “Imagine if Thundercat and Mac Miller did an entire album together.” The musician then followed his quote tweet with another saying that he’ll probably never release the project out of respect. “Everything isn’t meant to be put out like that,” he said. “Me and Mac worked on a lot of different things. He did as he saw fit y’all gotta relax lol. Bout to get my emotions flying all over the place.”

Miller’s estate recently revealed the track list, with the only credited features being SZA and his alter ego Delusional Thomas, and it’s set to drop next week, on Jan. 17.

Fans can cop a physical version of the album, which includes a limited-edition deluxe two-LP pressing that features a rainbow foil-wrapped slipcase with white splatter cloud vinyl and a 32-page color booklet featuring photos and lyrics, as well as a limited one-time pressing that features clear vinyl. The preorder for the CD, cassette, and vinyl are available now on balloonerism.com.

Miller died in 2018 at age 26 of an accidental overdose.
