Balloonerism is the second posthumous release in seven years since Mac Miller died.

The US rapper died from an accidental overdose in 2018 aged 26 .

Friends say he was lost in his prime and fans' hunger for new music has remained.

Collaborators say the studio tracks first laid down more than 10 years ago used in new album have barely been changed.

Most of the fans who spoke to Newsbeat say they had no reservations about the album being released.

Robin says the success of Circles was in part due to how closely Mac 's family worked with people who knew him.

He says the family "really lead the way in showing how tenderness and care can be accomplished within posthumous projects".
