This petition is to add one of Mac Miller's most hard hitting and versatile mixtapes to the two main music streaming applications. Faces looks at Miller's struggle with drug addiction and his battle with depression, all of which were causes that led to his death in September 2018. This project was made during a period where Miller was most free with his lyrics and production, continuing the evolution of the artist we know today. The tape is filled with powerful messages, witty lyrics, and real world issues. This is a prime example of who Mac Miller is and what he faced in his world. My goal is to have this project on Apple Music and Spotify so listeners can understand further his struggle and create a conversation around these issues that led to the underrated MC's death.
- Faces is the eleventh mixtape released by Mac Miller, on May 11, 2014, celebrating Mother’s Day. Due to it’s psychedelic and dark tone, this mixtape is considered to be on par with Mac’s sophomore.

Mac Miller’s greatest work appears to be coming to streaming platforms. The Faces mixtape has remained off of Apple Music, Spotify and similar services since its release in 2014 because of sample clearance issues and other types of red tape. However, that might be soon to change.

Mac Miller’s greatest work appears to be coming to streaming platforms. The Faces mixtape has remained off of Apple Music, Spotify and similar services since its release in 2014 because of sample clearance issues and other types of red tape. However, that might be soon to change. Hi @Tomklam3 and welcome to the Community! Spotify can't really change a thing on that because that depends on the artist himself and especially the label. If you want that these tracks are available, you can try to contact the label Mac Miller is into and ask them why these tracks are no available. View all on Spotify Coming on the scene with a throwback style that betrayed his years, Pittsburgh-based rapper and producer Mac Miller combined languid vocals, playful rhymes, and hypnotic production influenced by OutKast, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, and Lauryn Hill. His debut full-length, Blue Slide Park, topped the charts upon release.

In a Reddit thread where fans were speculating about the status of the tape, Miller’s longtime friend and producer ID Labs (who produced “It Just Doesn’t Matter” and “Therapy” from the tracklist) caught wind of the comment. He confirmed that clearance for Faces is in the works.

However, after his comment took off, IDLabs posted a cryptic response to the speculation on Twitter.
But did I? 🤔

There hasn’t been any timeframe given as to when you can expect Faces to hit iTunes and Spotify, but even the idea of having easier access to Miller’s brilliance is exciting. If the project does arrive on digital streaming platforms as ID Labs is believed to have said on Reddit, it will be Miller’s second mixtape to hit DSPs in the last year. His breakout tap K.I.D.S. was added in April to celebrate its tenth anniversary and the re-release came with two new songs.
Faces is a musical masterpiece and it has only taken on more meaning since Miller’s sudden passing. From start to finish, the mixtape brings the listener on a drug-fueled journey into mind of an addict who is on the verge of fully understanding his issues. The lyrics are a message that Mac is passing along about what was truly going on in his life and thoughts in that time. He was going through some deep shit and there is no denying that it’s dark, twisted and depressing. But the way that he paints the picture with his words and shares the inner-workings of his mind makes it rather beautiful.
Musically, the production value is unmatched, the samples each bring something unique to the table, Mac’s laidback voice presents his lyrics at the forefront and the beats accompany the jazz elements perfectly.

The mixtape is something to cherish. Hopefully soon, it will hit streaming platforms and become more accessible to those who haven’t heard the brilliance— or those who just want to set it on repeat and let Larry Fisherman do his thing.
