Paired with an experimental sound, nostalgic of his previous release, Watching Movies With the Sound Off, Miller used the mixtape as a chance to explore his ongoing substance abuse problems. Familiar collaborators of Miller, such as Schoolboy Q, Rick Ross, Vince Staples, and Earl Sweatshirt, help make Faces feel like a fun and informative listen about Miller’s life, while perfecting Miller’s older styles. His older mixtapes, like Faces, previously unavailable for wider consumption, have been getting re-released by his team.

Miller’s team said that unfinished projects will not be released in the foreseeable future, contrary to many other rappers’ management team’s decisions. A common debate seen surrounding many other rappers’ deaths sparked the management of his unreleased music. Mac Miller’s death on September 7th, 2018 was a tragedy which shocked fans, friends, and family of the rapper.
