Another one of Berkeley News sections that they cover is music. I feel like covering something as simple as music weekly is a very engaging topic. This piece highlights the late Mac Millers music still being released and thriving even 7 years after his passing. The album, Balloonersim, was leaked in 2014 and was officially released 5 years after Circles, which was his first posthumous album. Balloonersim acts as a prequel to Circles. They speak about how there is a questionable nature of releasing an album after an artist’s death. There are questions about where the creative direction was going before his death or where the profits of the album will go. This was something I didn’t even think of and was very eye opening for me.
