Mac Miller's Posthumous Single '5 Dollar Pony Rides' Released Ahead of Album 'Balloonerism'

The track, co-produced with Thundercat, is the first official release from the 2014-recorded album, set to drop January 17.

  • '5 Dollar Pony Rides' is now available on streaming platforms, marking the first official release from Mac Miller's upcoming posthumous album, 'Balloonerism.'
  • The album, recorded in 2013-2014, includes 12 tracks, two of which have never leaked online, and features collaborations with SZA and Miller's alter ego, Delusional Thomas.
  • Thundercat, Ronald Bruner Jr., and Kintaro co-produced the lead single alongside Miller, who worked under his Larry Fisherman pseudonym.
  • The Miller estate emphasized that releasing 'Balloonerism' was important to the late artist, as unofficial versions of the album have circulated online for years.
  • Physical editions of the album, including limited-edition vinyl with special packaging, are available for preorder ahead of the January 17 release date, which coincides with the fifth anniversary of Miller's first posthumous album, 'Circles.'
