INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER! An album-by-album celebration of the
life and music of Mac Miller through oral histories, intimate
reflections, and critical examinations of his enduring work. "One
of my most vivid memories of him is the way he would look at you
while he was playing you a song. He tried to look you right in the
eyes to see how you were feeling about it." -Will Kalson, friend
and first manager Following Mac Miller's tragic passing in 2018,
Donna-Claire Chesman dedicated a year to chronicling his work
through the unique lens of her relationship to the music and Mac's
singular relationship to his fans. Like many who'd been following
him since he'd started releasing mixtapes at eighteen years old,
she felt as if she'd come of age alongside the rapidly evolving
artist, with his music being crucial to her personal development.
"I want people to remember his humanity as they're listening to the
music, to realize how much bravery and courage it takes to be that
honest, be that self-aware, and be that real about things going on
internally. He let us witness that entire journey. He never hid
that." -Kehlani, friend and musician. The project evolved to
include intimate interviews with many of Mac's closest friends and
collaborators, from his Most Dope Family in Pittsburgh to the
producers and musicians who assisted him in making his everlasting
music, including Big Jerm, Rex Arrow, Wiz Khalifa, Benjy Grinberg,
Just Blaze, Josh Berg, Syd, Thundercat, and more. These voices,
along with the author's commentary, provide a vivid and poignant
portrait of this astonishing artist-one who had just released a
series of increasingly complex albums, demonstrating what a musical
force he was and how heartbreaking it was to lose him. "As I'm
reading the lyrics, it's crazy. It's him telling us that he hopes
we can always respect him. I feel like this is a message from him,
spiritually. A lot of the time, his music was like little letters
and messages to his friends, family, and people he loved, to remind
them of who he really was." -Quentin Cuff, best friend and tour
manager.
