Amazon has released exclusive vinyl and merch to celebrate the release of Mac Millers posthumous album”Balloonism“, out Friday.

“Balloonism” is the second posthumous album from the late rapper since his death in 2018, along with a short film directed by Samuel Jerome Mason on Prime Video.

The album, which has been around for many years, features a more experimental and genre-bending version of Miller, with loose-jazz tunes like the titular “5 Dollar Pony Rides” to a meandering 12-minute “Tomorrow Will Never Know.”

In a social media post last November, Miller’s estate described the project as “of great importance to Malcolm – to the extent that he commissioned artwork for it and discussions about when it would be released were held regularly, but ultimately ‘GO:OD AM’ and subsequent albums took precedence.

“We believe the project showcases both the breadth of his musical talents and fearlessness as an artist,” the post continued. “Given that unofficial versions of the album have been circulating online for years and that the release of ‘Balloonerism’ was something that Malcolm often expressed was important to him, we thought it most appropriate to present an official version of the project to the world. “

Amazon celebrates the highly anticipated release with exclusive vinyl and merch design with the album cover. The album cover features an image of Miller painted by artist Alim Smith, who posted it on his Instagram page in September 2018. A month before, Smith posted a similar style image on Instagram with Miller commenting, “Need this.”

Except for vinyl, which is now one No. 1 best seller at the retailer, Amazon’s lineup includes crewneck sweatshirts, graphic tees, CDs, cassettes and posters featuring the abstract illustration.
