The cult mixtape from the late Mac Miller The project, which originally debuted on Mother's Day 2014, is a vital release in Mac's catalogue that followed-up his critically-acclaimed sophomore album  Watching Movies With The Sound Off.  Upon its arrival, the mixtape served as the high water mark for Mac's technical prowess and cemented a creative actualisation that would continue through his career; reinventing himself with each new project. Reviewing the project following its release, critic Craig Jenkins succinctly described it as " the best work of his career." The announcement of the mixtape’s release on streaming services next month arrives alongside a new music video for Faces highlight " Colours and Shapes."  Its director Sam Mason speaks on the work: “ The track felt very visual to me—like it had its own world. This atmospheric night time place that was sometimes dangerous, sometimes comforting, then I saw a picture of Ralph and a story emerged. To build it out I asked Malcolm’s family to send me bits and pieces from his childhood, scenes from the town where he grew up, objects, toys from his room—little pieces of his life that I extrapolated outwards and used to inspire the story. In the abstract, it’s meant to be a video about childhood—growing up as an artist and the highs and lows of that experience. It’s sort of a look at the emotional and difficult and perilous but noble path of an artist."
