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 SIDE 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 and earned Miller widespread critical acclaim.
