The Mac Miller Estate has unveiled “5 Dollar Pony Rides,” a new song from Balloonerism, the highly anticipated album set to release on Friday, January 17th. Long cherished by fans through unofficial leaks, this album will finally receive its official debut, giving listeners a fresh look at Mac's creative genius during a pivotal era in his career.

Created alongside Watching Movies with the Sound Off, Delusional Thomas, and Faces, Balloonerism showcases Mac’s genre-defying artistry, a hallmark of his evolving musical journey. The album's tracklist features appearances from SZA and Mac’s alter ego, Delusional Thomas, promising a dynamic and eclectic listening experience.

In addition to the music, fans can look forward to a Samuel Mason-directed companion film, teased in a trailer that debuted at Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival last November.

Balloonerism will be available digitally and in various physical formats, including CD, cassette, and vinyl. Exclusive vinyl editions, available only through balloonerism.com, include a deluxe two-LP pressing with rainbow foil packaging, white splatter cloud vinyl, and a 32-page booklet featuring photos and lyrics.
