Five years after the release of the first posthumous Mac Miller album, the rapper’s family has revealed the track listing for his Ballonerism LP. According to a graphic posted on Tuesday (Jan. 7), the 14-track album, due out on January 17, will include a feature from SZA on the song “DJ’s Chord Organ.”

The collection that kicks off with “Tambourine Dream,” will also spotlight the tracks “5 Dollar Pony Rides,” “Friendly Hallucinations,” “Mrs. Deborah Downer,” “Stoned,” “Manakins” and “Rick’s Piano.” The release will come on the fifth anniversary of 2020’s Circles, which was released two years after Miller’s death in September 2018 from a accidental drug overdose.

When Balloonerism was announced last year, Miller’s family issued a statement explaining why they are releasing the project. “Many of Malcolm’s fans are aware of Balloonerism, a full length album that Malcolm created around the time of the release of Faces in 2014,” they wrote. “It is a project that was of great importance to Malcolm — to the extent that he commissioned artwork for it and discussions concerning when it should be released were had regularly, though ultimately [2015’s] GO:OD AM and subsequent albums ended up taking precedence.”

They added, “We believe the project showcases both the breadth of his musical talents and fearlessness as an artist. Given that unofficial versions of the album have been circulating online for years and that releasing Balloonerism was something that Malcolm frequently expressed being important to him, we felt it most appropriate to present an official version of the project to the world.”

Ballonerism will drop just two days before what would have been the MC’s 33rd birthday.

‘Unprecedented’: Drake Appeals Dismissal of Lawsuit Over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’

The star's attorneys say the "dangerous" ruling ignored the reality that the song caused millions of people to really think Drake was a pedophile.

Drake has filed his appeal after his lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG) over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” was dismissed, arguing that the judge issued a “dangerous” ruling that rap can never be defamatory.

Drake’s case, filed last year, claimed that UMG defamed him by releasing Lamar’s chart-topping diss track, which tarred his arch-rival as a “certified pedophile.” But a federal judge ruled in October that fans wouldn’t think that insults during a rap beef were actual factual statements.
