Back in 2014, the late Mac Miller released his 11th mixtape, Faces, following the release of his second studio album, Watching Movies With The Sound Off. It's considered by many Mac fans to be his magnum opus, which is why the news that it's now available on streaming services and vinyl has people so excited.
Mac was the executive producer for Faces, under his producer pseudonym Larry Fisherman, with individual tracks on the project produced by ID Labs, Earl Sweatshirt, Thundercat, 9th Wonder and more.
It's a dark, jazzy project, and for many Mac fans, is the best example of the sounds he was producing throughout his discography. To mark the release of the project on streaming, it's arrived with a bonus track, Yeah, which is the last song on the tracklist.
The project also features King Ralph of Malibu (aka Ralph) on Angel Dust, who is Mac's dog. To celebrate Ralph, director Sam Mason released a music video for Colors And Shapes earlier this year, telling the story of the dog, as well as taking a look at the life of an artist.

#Faces is my favorite Mac Miller project. I listened to it again not too long ago and was reminded of how brave and honest of an artist Mac was. Excited for the project to be up on streaming sites for the first time because I’m sure it’ll reach new ears.
We miss you, Mac.
