Mac Miller Estate Releases The Divine Feminine (10th Anniversary) With Three Unreleased Songs

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2026 — Ten years ago, Mac Miller did the thing you're never supposed to do in hip-hop: he changed. After doubling down on his rap prowess with 2015's GO:OD AM, the Pittsburgh rapper stunned fans with an audacious pivot — a concept album that explored his views on the power of love and the sacred energy of women. That album, The Divine Feminine, was released in September 2016, and this past Friday it got the anniversary treatment it deserved.

The Mac Miller Estate released The Divine Feminine (10th Anniversary) on October 2, 2026, via Warner Records, available digitally and physically. The edition pairs all ten original tracks with three previously unreleased songs from the album's recording sessions: "Butterflies," "Grand," and "Channel 13." The release is available on deluxe and standard three-LP anniversary vinyl editions, with pre-orders offered through shop.macmillerswebsite.com and select retailers. On the vinyl, the three bonus songs close out Side E; Side F carries an etching.

Of the three new songs, "Butterflies" had the longest runway. The estate shared it back in August, when the anniversary edition was first announced, and it's the only one of the three whose full production credits are on record: produced by Taylor Graves and featuring bass by longtime Miller collaborator and friend Thundercat. "Grand" and "Channel 13" arrived for the first time on Friday, October 2, reaching streaming services the same day as the full edition — the vault opening wider one track at a time.

The pivot that changed everything

To understand why this anniversary matters, you have to understand what The Divine Feminine was in 2016. Miller was coming off a career punctuated by creative reinvention — the wiry teen-rapper years of Blue Slide Park, the psychedelic deep-end of his Faces era, the sober sharpening of GO:OD AM. Nobody expected what came next: a genre-agnostic concept album about romance and intimacy that leaned hard into his singing voice, built around love songs with an unapologetically feminine lens.

It worked. The Divine Feminine debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in September 2016 with 48,000 album-equivalent units — a commercial high for a record that, on paper, shouldn't have been the commercial one. The guest list told the story: Ariana Grande on "My Favorite Part" (a duet that has since taken on its own gravity), Anderson .Paak on "Dang!," Kendrick Lamar on "God Is Fair, Sexy, Nasty," Ty Dolla $ign on "Cinderella," CeeLo Green on "We," Bilal on "Congratulations," and Njomza on "Planet God Damn." Pitchfork hailed it upon release as being "easily his most intoxicating release yet," and the embrace of Miller's singing voice foreshadowed the evolution that would materialize on his 2018 album Swimming.

An album with a second life

Here's the thing about The Divine Feminine: it never really went away. This past summer, album standout "Cinderella" experienced a full-blown resurgence after a TikTok trend drove the track to No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 — Miller's second-highest charting single as a lead artist. The song also reached the top 10 of the Rhythmic Airplay chart, with some chart trackers listing it as high as No. 14 there. A decade after release, a love song Miller cut with Ty Dolla $ign was charting like it was new.

That timing matters. The anniversary edition arrives with the album already back in the cultural bloodstream, and the estate's rollout leans into that momentum. Anderson .Paak, of course, remains one of the most active collaborators in the game — and "Dang!" endures as one of the brightest entries in both artists' catalogs.

The website, the vault, and the live special

The album isn't the only thing the estate launched on Friday. Alongside the anniversary edition came a brand-new Mac Miller website — a project years in the making, designed in conjunction with James Musgrave and Kate Doyle for XXIX, built as an interactive tribute to the life and work of Mac Miller. It features archival media contributed by friends and colleagues from throughout the years: photos, notes, and material from the people who knew him.

And for fans who wanted the full-room experience, the estate also released The Divine Feminine Live — a special based on the original 2016 TV series that was exclusive to DirecTV at the time. The live special streamed on Mac Miller's YouTube channel starting at 10 p.m. ET on Friday night, with production by Sam Balaban and original live direction by Bart Peters.

The estate's steady hand

This is not the first time the Miller estate has handled the catalog with care. Miller died in 2018 at 26 of an accidental drug overdose; three men were sentenced to prison for distributing the fentanyl-laced pills that killed him. Since then, the estate has released Circles (2020), the intended companion piece to Swimming that was completed by producer Jon Brion, and in 2025 the long-awaited Balloonerism — material recorded around 2014 that fans had circulated for years in lower quality.

Just this past February, Thundercat — the same bassist on "Butterflies" — released the single "She Knows Too Much" featuring Miller, another example of how the collaborators from Mac's orbit keep finding ways to keep his voice in the present tense. The estate's approach has consistently been to add context rather than just content: archival depth, physical editions that mean something, and rollouts that treat each project like it has a reason to exist.

The 10th anniversary of The Divine Feminine fits that pattern. It's not a cash-grab reissue with a remaster slapped on it — it's the vault opening with intention, three songs from the actual sessions, and a live document from the era. For an album about the sacred energy of women, arriving back in a year when one of its tracks went viral with a new generation discovering it on TikTok, the timing feels almost fated.
