Most Dope

More about the book

The first biography about rapper Mac Miller--the Pittsburgh cult favorite-turned-global-superstar who died a tragic death at 26 Malcolm James McCormick was born on January 19, 1992. By the age of six, he was playing piano, guitar, drums, and bass, and by 15 he had released his first mixtape under the name EZ Mac. A career soon followed, bringing him a record deal with the independent label Rostrum Records and projects with Wiz Khalifa, XXL, Kendrick Lamar, and Meek Mill. Despite the success and accolades that would follow over the next eight years, Miller was continually plagued by his struggles with substance abuse and depression, which ultimately led to his untimely death from an accidental overdose in 2018. Most Dope offers a comprehensive look at the life of a musician whose legacy of unparalleled creativity and diverse collaboration still echo in recording studios and arenas today.
