Mac Miller, Busta Rhymes, Logic and More

While many in the music industry are still reeling from the effects of the California wildfires, there is still new music to provide a much-needed distraction. This week, a beloved late rapper’s second posthumous album comes out, a Brooklyn rhyme busta gets a new season, a DMV rapper takes off, and more.

Mac Miller’s Hot Air Balloon Album Is Here

After officially announcing the album in November, Mac Miller’s estate has finally released the rapper’s second posthumous album, Balloonerism. The official version of the oft-leaked project was recorded nearly a decade ago and features 14 songs, including “5 Dollar Pony Rides” and “DJ’s Chord Organ” featuring SZA. The only other feature comes from Mac’s alter ego Delusional Thomas. In the album’s promotional video, Mike’s Camp also produced the film “Balloonism” directed by Samuel Jerome Mason and adapted by Mac Miller based on the album. The film had an advance screening at select theaters in the United States and abroad on January 15 and 16. The film was released on Amazon Prime at the same time as the album.

Logic Share Aquarius 3 EP

Logic’s 2025 run begins with a new project called Aquarius 3. Aquarius 3 has five songs, one of which features a guest appearance by Lucy Rose. Later in 2024, the Maryland rapper was working on a new album called “Phonkedelic” and announced that he would be giving up Playboi Carti-type music in 2025 because he couldn’t make ends meet as a lyricist. It seems he has changed his mind.
