Divine Feminine, which featured the hit single ‘Dang!’ with guest vocalist
Anderson .Paak.

Born Malcolm McCormick, Mac Miller made his name through mixtapes and
video-sharing websites. His K.I.D.S. mixtape became his breakthrough when it was
released in 2010, earning attention from hip-hop blogs and landing Miller a
recording contract.
Miller released his debut EP, On and On and Beyond, followed by his Billboard
chart-topping debut album Blue Slide Park in 2011. His experimental sophomore
album, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, followed in 2013. That album
showcased then-emerging artists like Action Bronson, Earl Sweatshirt, and
Flying Lotus.
