Hey, swell. I hope everyone's doing well. I wanted to get on here and talk a little bit about posthumous music releases for artists, because Mac Miller's mixtape, I Love Life thank you is now available on the, like, all streaming platforms. And I was just sort of talking about it with my roommate, and I started thinking, as an artist who passed away, you obviously don't have a lot of control over whether that music gets released or not
Love this question because I've thought the same, because a lot of the artists that I admire and love have passed, passed away. One of the ones that was really a shock and it was very untimely death isn't really but you just didn't see this coming. And he wasn't like an overdose or anything. It was a freak accident. And that's Jeff Buckley

And they might have something that is incredibly beautiful and moving and impacts you in a way that doesn't even impact them. And their work is almost larger than themselves at that point. And is it wrong to keep that from people? And it's really hard to say

And it can be kind of eerie in some ways, but then, yeah, I don't really know the Mac Miller, honestly. I probably barely listened to a song of his. But I do understand that he had passed and he was a studio guy. I think he did a lot of his own production and stuff. So I can imagine he has a plethora of stuff that's sitting in the vault, as it were
