Who features on Mac Miller's album 'Balloonerism'?
No features have been confirmed for Mac's unreleased album, however speculation is rife over who might collaborate with the late rapper.

Mac has collaborated with some of the world's biggest musicians, including Migel, Ariana Grande and Lil Wayne.
Where do the songs from Mac Miller's 'Balloonerism' come from?
Mac Miller fans have known about 'Balloonerism' for almost a decade. The late rapper was said to have recorded the project before his 2014 mixtape 'Faces' over a week.
In 2020, songs including “Do You Have a Destination,” “Uber” and “The Song That Changed Everything” popped up on the Internet, with SZA and Dylan Reynolds apparently featured on a few of the tracks.
In a statement accompanying news of the upcoming release, Miller's family said: "Many of Malcolm’s fans are aware of Balloonerism, a full-length album that Malcolm created around the time of the release of Faces in 2014. It is a project that was of great importance to Malcolm—to the extent that he commissioned artwork for it and discussions concerning when it should be released were had regularly, though ultimately GO:OD AM and subsequent albums ended up taking precedence.
